Is it wrong to start buying new toys for the car before you have it? I saw the Camaro Sequential LED Rear Lamps with Rapid Fire and Afterburner and just had to have them. Meanwhile, the car is still waiting to be built?

I've just have to listen to the stock exhaust before I decide to replace it.

Other thoughts?

Make sure you are getting the car or you will be stuck with having some usless accessories and have to go through the hassle of selling them most likely for less than you paid. Yes, listen to the stock exhaust first and definately get the car first before getting an exhaust.

Well, you will probably be waiting a little while for those lights, so you may actually get the car first! They are backordered everywhere!

But to answer your question, I have bought all kinds of stuff for my cars before I had them, so you're not alone!

Im not pulling the trigger on my 2SS M6 til early next year and I find myself researching parts all the time... already got my first go fast mods picked out. KooKs Steped headers, no cats, with the kooks full 3" system!. I already plan to spend 2500 before I've even made the first payment haha. So I'm sure its common.

I did the same thing. I had $9000 in acc in my garage before my convertible came in.

Before I got the first Camaro I already bought the heritage grill and a spoiler for it. On this one I had ordered gill trim and emblems. I waited to get home with the car before I ordered the quarter flares that I still need to install.

Did you paint the baby's room before the birth? Did you buy new clothes for the little one before you brought her home from the hospital?

Alrighty, then.

Sequential taillights? You should have just bought a Mustang.

Watching the video of what he bought, I think it looks good. I was confused how they would do it with just 2 lights, but it scrolls over pretty well.

That random flashing before the brake lights though, I could do without.

Might wanna check your local laws about those taillights. Most states say they are illegal.

To what someone said before about them, I also could do without the random flashing before the lights came one. I think it looks silly but the sequential looks alright and they are fairly bright lights as well.
