I think so too and fullfaced VIP style is very difficult to find now at a good price.

No performance benefits. Only the possibility to make some noise when you want

Thanks,

The quality is really good compare to the OEM ones. The fitment is also very good.
I purchased them on eBay Motors. The vendor's name is ACEKOGYO.
Perfect transaction with fast delivery (around 6 days door to door), for your information I'm living in FRANCE.

Thanks,
Denis.

How was the wiring on the taillights? Just plug and play or did you have to do any splicing?
