They seem cool. Cheaper price than what I've seen around the net. My only concern is just how solid is double sided sticky tape to keep these suckers on?

Don't get anything on eBay man, you don't know fitment, or how the quality looks.

They would only look ok if you had a CF hood. Otherwise they would look out of place.

you can always get better double sided tape from a hardware store. I got the 3M exterior mounting tape (super strong, weather resistant) ones from OSH (orchard supply hardware). This sucker is an industrial quality mounting tape, and holds up to 5lbs (2,3kg).

Or you can also go the high-strength epoxy (glue) method, which u can also find at ur local hardware store. But I don't really recommend it as it's kinda permanent and will screw up ur headlight housing when u decide to take them off..

A strong double sided tape will work just fine.

I got it from him. Great guy to work with and fast shipping and yes he works for bulletproofautomotive.com. So they're authentic products.

What a relief to hear you think it looks good. Yours will be the second G that I will have seen it on. What color is your G?
