Bad enough I'd say.. I drilled a hole in it for the LED that came with my alarm..not even thinking that I was going to want to change it down the road. Mainly because the LED is blue, and both my dad and brother pointed out that it looked like a cellphone or bluetooth headset sitting there blinking away. So, off to RadioShack I went and I picked up a few different LEDs..and the hole is too big for all of them. So, zipped up to Peruzzi to order the part..which I decided for $14 I'll live with a loose fitting LED for now. But what the heck, $14???

Sorry for lame punctuation..I'm ranting!

$14 for the plastic hole cover? Thats not that bad... try about $120 for the ABS wheel liner and the plastic screws/bolts for just one of the wheel wells That didn't cover the install either..

Yep, I am that much in need that I can't afford the $14 to replace it. Wish I could accept the money, but I can't. You'll see it in due time

$14's not that bad lol.

you could have probably gone and gotten a 5mm led, with a base for it and it would have fit right.

i think we have a misunderstanding of what "QFT" means. according to urbandictionary.com: QFT = Quoted For the Truth.
Is used after a quote.
States that you agree with this person.
Usually used on internet forums.

although i believe it started more as a way to hold someone accountable for what they type on forums so they can't go back and change their post/story.

oh, and $14 isn't that much money.

I don't want to sound frugal, I just have bigger things I need to pay for right now, especially my speeding ticket. Go ahead, flame me. People make mistakes, I realize I did and was holding back posting about it, mainly because I didn't feel the need to say. When I can afford it, I'll get it
