AAC or Showstopper Side Markers?

Pros and cons of each? Opinions? Looking for ghosted black if that helps any.

Seems Showstopper is cheaper however?

Go with Pete at showstopper. Quality and paint match were excellent. Had them on for a year before I sold my camaro, and never had a problem.

Only real issue to speak of is had a tab break once. LEDs are all still working 3 years now

I have the AAC version, and while I haven't had any issues (except broken tabs) I would go with Showstopper if I ordered again. They use OEM housings for theirs which is why you don't hear about broken tabs on theirs. My tabs actually broke while the lights installed on the car!

I purchased his and they are real nice. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait I hear as he will not ship until paint is fully dried and they look as close to perfect as they can.

All depends on where you like the placement of the led strip, center or top. I prefer AAC myself.

I've had Showstoppers for a year and a half and love them... never any issues, just be prepaired for a little wait, but it is worth the wait.

Do you mean that you HAVEN'T ordered your SHOWSTOPPER's yet?

What are you waiting on?
