Thanks!
I got them from summit racing. They're by jones exhaust and they came that way. I got the 18" tips. The ones I got were $25 each. They were supposed to arrive after three days but it only took them two!

DIY. Locking actuator on eBay only $1.79 shipped. Plus other material like wire and connectors. So maybe a $25.00 total

yeah my buddy is using the same one and hasn't had an issue. all power lock actuators are similar. even if it did get stuck locked the key always works haha. for 1.79 you cant go wrong.

Well, I don't need a GPS, since I bought the factory nav system. And after spending $2400 for that, what's another $26 to have a little laugh?

Some how I messed this post up, and directed you all to the wrong post. The title of the post is (Redo mirror turn signal mod). Hope I did it right this time.
