Question Opinions: Too Ricey?

I was just browsing ebay the other day and ran across these two items.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nissan-FAIRL...5cf8da&vxp=mtr


http://www.ebay.com/itm/CAR-REAR-VIE...item3cba4ae1a7

What are y'alls opinions on either of these? I do not want to be too ricey. The brake light looks pretty cool. The camera is cheap I know, but it will fit in nice and I have a screen in my car so I could actually use it. Both of them are cheap, but I do not want to be THAT guy.

I was just asking an opinion, I know the camera would be crap, but i was just contemplating on seeing what it could actually do. As far as ebay parts....lol that doesnt matter at all. It is a damn light, grow up.

your asking opinions, you are getting them.
You are posting multiple threads on cheap ebay parts.
You are new.
So in this light....
Youre the one whod want to ....as you say... "grow up". No offense intended of course.


If youre on a limited budget, leave the car alone.
Desecrating it with aftermarket parts that detract from the look and performance of the car are not welcomed warmly on the forum for good reason. Im sure youd agree.

Not to say you need to spend 5k on a set of wheels to be cool.. but there are choices for your car that are simply bad choices, point blank.
By looking at the mass of threads youve left today.. it appears you are making said bad choices.

In the end its your car..
but when you post and ask, you make it everyones business.

Save your money and get a solar powered supercharger.

I can actually vouch for the back-up camera. I just installed it with a rear view monitor and it works perfectly fine.

Looks like an oem piece and definitely looks better than those license plate cover cameras IMO.

The decal overlay though is .

Ya I am asking opinions, I am not asking for people to be rude, a typical forum member. Thats why I have always like 350zmotoring.com better because at least the other members are legit. Desecrating it with aftermarket parts? OH NO ITS A LIGHT!!!! OR A CAMERA!!! Lol at you people. I laugh at you all and think it is funny how you have nothing better to do than talk crap on other peoples questions. Thank you cgkp.

You have cheap, rat b@stard, modding tendencies.

You are better off with another car if you want to pull mods like this.

edit-do you even have a HU that camera can connect to? Or will you use your moms 19" tube TV in the pass seat?

Mods are gaudy, thread is dumb, you need thicker skin, especially when asking for opinions.

It's a light that isn't OEM and is $13ish dollars on eBay. And you're on a forum practically full of people with $5000 wheels and turbo kits. Of course you aren't going to get a warm reception to that. I wouldn't put it on my Z but hey. Could be worse. Your car, do what you want, just realize this forum is a forum full of brand ******.

the overlay looks corny, like those people who by merchandise with their car on; you know, someone has a 350z and they have the 350z logo on he lights, keychain, shirt, hat, etc, etc.

The camera is ok from a functional perspective, but just save and get one that looks for discreet. The camera isn't really necessary unless your windows are all tinted limo and your car is super low, and even then most people don't have one.

Last one; I agree with most members as far as the whole "ebay" comments. You get what you pay for and most parts stand out like an eyesore.
