Often I am unable to read the entire post before responding and missed the “matter of opinion” quote. It is never my intention or desire to put down another venders product attempting to make my own comparable part to appear better. That said, I am an engineer and designer and often find those 2 conflicting aspects to be a problem during a project causing me to kick my own ass! It has been very important to me personally to produce items that are engineered well, produced using the best limited production techniques and materials, but still having superior design cosmetics to enhance the finished appearance. I’ve designed and built many parts for the Pantera, other cars and many items not automotive related using this philosophy throughout my career.

The SACC products appear to be well built and the car workmanship displayed is quite impressive---Thumbs up Scott. Your
"Of course, that statement is a matter of
opinion!!!" I do agree with so it would be best to let the Pantera community make there own decision by viewing AmeriSport and SACC lights close-up side by side and comparing. This is not to put forth any negatives about either light style---just a visual comparison of the 2 types.

Just a quick clarification on the install issue---AmeriSport lights can also be installed with the buckets remaining in the car and if you prefer to have the lamps lower, Cat Eye Quads can be lowered to 4.0” overall height and adjusted accordingly. This will drop the bezel far below the fender opening and will add stress to the bulb adjusters. I recommend keeping them at the designed opening height for ease of adjustment and finish appearance. The lower you set the bucket, the more angle up is required to set the bulb which mis-aligns it in the mount and bezel causing more it stresses the bulb adjuster mounts which are plastic. To go the max if you wish, you can drop our lights to 3.99782” and a fingernail clipping---so there! Made you laugh.

Price is an issue but so are the details IMHO----Let's compare.
