Damn... You should put a warning up that says if you have anything slower than a T1 connection, it may take all day to load the pics

Very nice btw

over the last 2-3 years of doing lights and being a paying vendor on here, many people have come around doing a few sets here and there....shoot even shops have. And i just wait it out and keep my mouth shut they go away...fact of the matter is i have redone prolly 35 sets of lights that were done elsewhere and had leaks/ workmanship issues and so on. I have done over 450 sets for a reason... i honestly wouldn't want to deal w/ people who would rather go to some dude that has done a few sets of taillights to save a few bucks and in the process lose a lifetime warranty like i offer .

you probably shouldn't make assumptions about what this "dude" offers because you haven't heard of him before. for all you know he could have thousands of customers and a lifetime warranty.

i'm glad that your light service has worked out, but you shouldn't bash someone for taking a different approach and liking the outcome.
