Soooo Jealous ! Comet is Hot !! course all vortex bugs are hehe

[FallinApartBoy]

bump for my new tails (even though shay thinks they are ugly) jk shay

[Billsbug]

I hate to admit it man, but I kinda like these on this crazy color!

[JuggBug]

Comet's lookin' super hot Mr.! Good job on the install!!!

[FallinApartBoy]

thank you to both of you. the install was HORRIBLE. the rubber seals are glued to the tails so i had to take some soapy water and lube them up and then slide a credit card in between the seal to get them to mount flush. and a big thanks to LONY for the info on how to do this.

Ha ha you said lube them up....dirty. lol

Sorry it was a big pain in the to put them in, but it was definitely worth it...they look wicked sweet!

The tails before the new ones... were they the red and clears? If so, what are you planning on doing with them?

[FallinApartBoy]

yes they were but one of them i cracked a little bit. i just have them sitting around. 1 is really good but the other one has a tiny crack and leaked water. not sure if the crack leaked or i didnt seal them well enough though.

[niki]

Would you consider selling them...?

[Shay]

Love the bug

the tails however...

[FallinApartBoy]

thank you. you should see how deep red they are all lit up at night. with the clear third and tails its awesome. but i have white lights in my rear corners so i need to change them and put a red LED bulb in both. ill work on it after i get a new clutch.
