If you disagree with my ricer inflation theory, then you are welcome to explain what kind of performance gain is accomplished by installing S5 tail lights on an S4 car, and why they are worth the extra money.
First, s5 rear end? Are you talking about the differential? If it's the GTUs I see no problem in picking one up, but not for 800-1200.
Saying that the tail lights are rice is the same as saying putting a stock spoiler on a car that didn't come with one is too. I don't consider swapping stock parts as a big deal. Am I a ricer then for doing a black interior conversion too? I mean where do you draw the line? I'm just curious. I just don't see a problem with swapping stock parts from one RX-7 to another.
