99 spec turn signals
Hey everyone, I am purchasing a 99 spec front end, and I was curious as to the difference between the replica turn signals and the authentic ones: what is the difference in quality between the 2? Is it really worth the extra money to get the authentic ones? Thank you for your time! ~Anthony

It's absolutely worth the extra money to go with the authentic ones. I have personally seen an FD that had the replicas and then I switched them to the authentics. In my opinion, night and day difference. You definitely know where your extra money went---the replicas just look cheap once they're on the car. sitting in the box they look ok, but once they're installed.......

Get the real deal. I have the original 99 spec lights where my buddy has some ebay ones and his look like ****. But its always up to the individual and their own tastes. Do what you want.

It says that it comes with the " '99 spec style" so I'm assuming it's the replicas. If anybody could post up pics of their real '99s, I'd like to seem them. I thought my replica's looked great.

The fact that Jason says it's not worth the extra $150, for a product that HE'S selling, speaks on the fact that there's not much of a difference.
Edit: Forgot to mention that the JDM '99s need an adapter to work on the US cars also.

I've gotten a lot of helpful answers from Goodfellas in the past, so if he's tellin me its worth the extra bucks I'm willing to dig into my pockets for it, better to pay now than be disgusted and buy an entirely new set later. Thanks everyone for the input, helped a lot. ~Anthony
