regular bulbs came in the city light. I got those LEDs from www.superbrightleds.com.

Fitment was decent. My friend that installed it said that on a scale from 1-10 he would rate the rear bumper an 8 as far as aftermarket fiberglass. The front was okay too. I paid $250 to have the front bumper completely re-worked and to have the line shaved. Im not sure how much they charged me for fitment issues. With all the work that had to be done to the rear glass piece, I think the total labor came up to about $700. Most of it was paid for by insurance but the grand total came to right about $4000

Grand total after all bulbs, about $850 give or take.

Love the front but it just doesnt flow with the rest of what you did. Rear is too busy for my tastes, and not a big fan of the slap on sides. Perhaps a more aggressive front would even out the car a little but its just to luxury look from the front and too I think I'm fast from the back, for lack of better words. As far as the price you paid offsetting the neglect of looking at the tread on your tires every so often, well yeah, maintain your vehicle before you put your half priced kitted car into a tree in a similar matter. Next time, the tree might be a little bit less forgiving.
