    Bumper inserts

    It's probably not the best place to post this, but I'm kinda interested in getting some reflective inserts. But I'm not interested in the $64 asking price for SS inserts.

    Anyway, I saw these:
    http://www.bobwhitedecals.com/Marauder.html

    And was wondering if anyone's ever used them. If so, I'm looking for a review. I understand the whole "ya get what ya pay for" rationale.

    And I hate to be a cheap-ass about it, but I just dropped more than I wanted to on Christmas presents for everyone and money's tight. Figured I could rationalize spending $30ish but not $60ish on myself...

    I found mine for somewhere between 15 and like 22 bucks on eBay, it was the gold-plated set from SS inserts. I think they were closing them out though and you'd be hard-pressed to find them again there.

    I've had the SS inserts installed for over 5 years now, never had a problem with them. Don't cheap out, get the SS ones.

    If you want something besides metallic color (chome/stainless) go with the Bob White decals. I had them on mine in red for awhile but got tired of it and switched to the SS Inserts.

    I think you're right. I just mentioned Jerry's car because we've done a little cat 'n' mousin' on 480 and other highways, and that's really where it was catching my eye.

    I've had Bob White reflective RED on for almost 7 years now and no problems--love the reflective thing at night---
