Its just a plastic reflector, why do these cost hundreds of dollars? Is it because they say "PORSCHE"?

I bought mine because my black car already has the holes for one. Was thinking about fitting it with LED lights hooked to the brake lights for one big center brake light.

QUOTE(JStroud @ Nov 4 2014, 05:37 PM)  I bought mine because my black car already has the holes for one. Was thinking about fitting it with LED lights hooked to the brake lights for one big center brake light. I slipped a strip of LED tape behind mine, nothing shined through. I have an aftermarket 914 reflector. I like the looks of my reflector. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) And my hood badge (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
