Is there a difference between AAC and Showstopper sidemarkers? - Page 4 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Well due to a shipping issue (UPS) mine did not arrive in time for install before the Camaros for Heroes event this past weekend but did arrive while I was gone. Might just brave the 40 degree weather and get them done tonight! The CGM paint match is great!

I went with the Showstopper sidemarkers. I saw the AAC sidemarkers in person and the color did not seem right. They kinda of looked like a dark pink/magenta color (at least the ones I saw). Besides I would rather put my money towards a company that doesn't come out with a product until it is fully tested to work properly and be durable. I have had all my cosmetic work done with Showstopper and have been impressed and taken care of every time

Did you not read the post??? AAC did research and testing, proved that where they put there LEDs makes for better heat dissipation and longer life.

Sorry I should have been more clear I was referring to the fog light bulbs(P13 i believe they are called) that weren't ready for sale when anyone who bought them bulbs were going out within days of use. They kept selling them even though they knew it was defective and just recently came out with a replacement. The AAC sidemarkers are a bit weird colored LEDs though.

I have ordered a set from Showstopper as well. Their paint work is top notch. - and they do at least include some reflector in theirs. -they also all come painted to match, for the sale price. (tint extra) In addition, I don't see Showstopper here in this thread insinuating that the competition is "playing games" or "throwing things together". A professional company such as AAC should be able to let their products stand on their merits without comments such as these. I get that AAC is proud of their work, and their customer service, but it just seems a bit less classy to insult another company's products, no matter if they are better or worse or whatever. If you didn't mean to come across that way, then I apologize, but I can't be the only person that read those comments that way.

Peace.
