Regardless if this is the cheaper alternative, it's still custom any way you look at it. So, he's getting something cheap and custom. Looks like a win to me.

Looks good, man! I wanna DIY!

To the best of my knowledge, yes. Both my SC's are pre 97.

Nice one, I did a similar mod on my ES. Going to do the custom route as soon as I'm done with my tail lights though...

I believe schwarz had the perfect DIY for people with a soldering iron

It's the better of the DIY solutions I have seen. Just needs a disclaimer.
O. L. T. at least you spelled moot correctly....Many say mute. By the way, no comparison to your latest "32" white background.

Yeah, that looks great - better than mine. I'll have to take a pic of mine in daylight outside the garage. So is yours a Lextech?
