Both are the same as setting money on fire imo.

Im not a fan of the ARC gradation. Most people with rainbows on there cars are homos.

Why would that be? Because they give no performance upgrade? I dont think your cleared headlights gave a performance upgrade, but you chose to clear them anyways. Its about personal pleasure. If it makes you happy, do it.

Ok, I know this is going to turn into an argument real quick but here's where I was coming from- I was not saying they are a waste due to the fact that they provide no performance gain. I call them a waste because of the "tax" that comes with the brand names. I know there are a lot of die hard JDM guys on this forum but it's not for me.

Fair enough. Folex is right, it does nothing for performance enhancement. If you like it, go for it. As Folex said, you are paying for the name. But then again, if people didnt care about name brands; Nike, Abercrombie, and all other name brands of clothing would be out of business.
