    All good points, but if you aren't one to keep a vehicle more than a few years it's a way to go and pay only for the time you use it. For heavy "modders" and long term buyers, it's not such a good idea.

    Switched out the blinkers with the new ones from @mesojdm. They look a hundred times better and are way brighter.



    After that, I ran some power into the bed. Considering how useless that inverter is, this will give me some more options.

    I'm all about made in America stuff and supporting my country, but I agree with you on this. I'm not gonna pay over $300 for a plastic "OEM" grille when I could spend the same for a custom grille. I just purchased mine about 15 minutes ago for $102.00 HERE on eBay. Hade good reviews so I went for it.

    UPDATE: eBay Item above was removed. Will post pics when it's installed.

    What model did you get on the @mesojdm turn signal mod? V1, V2, or V3? I want some for sure. I assume he is only selling the v3 now which honestly I like the color better on the V2.

    You may be able to find someone selling V2"s on the ultimate turn signal thread. I have both but keeping my V2"s as backups.

    What is your opinion on the difference between V2 and V3 since you have both? Whats the total cost again? $100?

    They are both great with the V2's a little darker making the signal more orange/red which some people may like. The V2'S cost more because they were completely hand made using OEM signal covers. I like them both but the signal on the V3 is much more noticeable.

    Ohhh ok! Not bad I see the difference better now. Ok V3 isn't bad at all and since they are cheaper I'd probably just go that route. Thanks for Sharing.

    Already know parts for vehicles come from subs from everywhere. Where’s “Plant #3” located at?
    What I found.....looks like Tijuana to me.

    So if the V2's are OEM, what are the V3's made from? Why do you have both?

    Those are some of his Ultimate mirrors. Those are built in Rigid ditch lights. On the bottom of the mirror are puddle lamps that come on automatically as you approach vehicle or when doors are opened.

    He contacted the manufacturer directly and had smoked signals made with no raised letters and no chrome. They are a brand new product, not modified stock lenses like the first two versions.

    They are made few and far between with all his other mods and you have to be lucky to get them when posted. He doesn't take orders so just have to watch for them. I bought the white ones because I couldn't wait and painted the covers lol.. they are awesome :yay:
