I'm trying to decide if I'd rather do the rep M5 mirrors or LCI tails. I'm going to hold off on any performance mods for the time being, although I was very close to pulling the trigger on a RPI exhaust.
Both are mods that I will eventually get done, but I'm trying to budget myself since I'm going on a pricey vacation in a few weeks. Which would you do first, and why? Thanks!

Hard decision. With the mirrors, you can enjoy them from inside and out of the car. With the tails, you can only enjoy them when parked. Very hard choice. I think I would still sway to LCI tails.

I went with the lci tail's as well after contemplating the same thing about a month ago. The rep m5 mirrors are very nice but I think I'd rather have my puddle lights on the OEM mirrors then m5 style mirrors that dont have them. That's just me.
