AAC or Showstopper Side Markers? - Page 7 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Always worth the wait IMO... I'm waiting on my show stoppers (:

Pete if you read this, why not just purchase a few sets from the dealer for cores? They are just above $100... I think it was $108 for the set from my dealer, and I'm sure they're not the best priced being that I'm in CA. It would help lower wait time which seems to lose a few sales for showstopper and sends business to AAC instead.

Agree, def like the showstoppers ones but the wait is way too long especially for unpainted ones. I purchased the unpainted ones a few weeks ago and had to cancel order it was taking to long.

Also i found out over the weekend searching the diy section and online they sell the same led for all 4 corners. So you just need to open your stock lites and use the led kit then paint. Kit is only $99 shipped. Ya $99

pm if anyone needs the info on the site.

I have AAC ones since 2010 when I bought my SS and on two of them the LEDs flicker on and off. Really annoying.
I'd go Showstopper. I have his side view mirrors and haven't had a problem at all

Matching paint isn't so easy

The Showstoppers look so much better with the strip at the top. They look like hey could have come from thr factory that way. AAC look like something cheap off eBay.

just got mine in the mail and installed within the next 10 minutes

better pictures coming soon, car was a bit dirty so i need to get her cleaned up before taking the good ones

pictures of them on, off, and the original markers.

Camaro Dude · 07-27-2014, 05:07 PM

Aren't the AAC side markers a bit brighter than the Showstopper ones?
I seem to recall reading this last year when I was shopping around, and thus elected to go with AAC.

Has this observation now changed or still the same?

True as that maybe Crus I rather take my chances with the wait, knowing that the product will be done correctly. Then receive the product in a matter of a week with poor quality work done. That's just me! PM sent to ya Show.

Installed my Showstopper sidemarkers tonight on IOM. Not an easy color to match. You may have to wait a time but I'll say they are worth it.

I'm getting my windows tinted in the morning and then I will add a few photos to the group!
