Yeah..they should have been simple replacements but took FOUR days and still resulted in wiring wrong and a dirty car. Not cool!

The wiring may not entirely be their fault, my Hawkeye harness was labeled incorrectly but I was able to figure it out based on their supplied diagram though. I waited 3 weeks for a resistor to come because my JDP halos screwed with the relays. I got it working but it was too late/dark last night for pictures/video. I have some install pics in the original thread in the sales section.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll try searching for them when I get a chance and see if I can get the wiring fixed. Thanks Pharmaro.

No chattering relays on your end though? DJ said they had a problem with their ZL1 front end fogs drawing less power than stock leading to another resistor needing to be placed. This is what happened with mine, but because the JDP halos cuts the stock halos out of the circuit.

Half my friends/family like it..It does give it a unique/aggressive look but is it too much black because of the black convertible top? Is it difficult to remove if I decide I dont want to go with the look?

It's too plain without them IMO. But in the end you need to be happy. I think it would look awesome. If it's to much for you though... a lot of guy's with Verts have bought our NS-4 Kit.

***NS-4 Stripes***

As far as removing them, since we use the best Vinyl in the industry they come off incredibly easy with no glue residue left behind.

Create a pole, as you know, people love to give their opinion.

It depends on what look you're going for. If you want the "cleaner" look keep them off. But I will say....those are pretty cool stripes and your photoshop looks pretty darn good with them on. I say go for it. I don't think it's too much black.

Thanks for the inputs Camaro_RS...xVengeancex28 did an awesome job photoshopping the stripes on. Ended up posting a comparison pic up on fb to get some opinions...right now everyone has said to add them. Going to give it till the end of the weekend before I decide.

Looks like I'm going to add them..SSTG says they remove easily if its not the look I'm looking for.
