[Chachi]

Debating the DSS version vs. the LPM. Any advice on comparing the two? No desire to paint.

Thanks Dave. I might've seen another post where they mentioned that the LPM version is not pre-drilled, but has markings for where to drill? DSS have that? I'm not planning on attaching emblems, but pre-marked holes would be nice if I change my mind. I wonder if DSS is just selling the LPM product?

gday chachi,yeah i was thinking they are probably the same part?they wernt pre marked for drilling,they are a good product and not brittle,they took paint well.

According the LPM the side panels they sell are the same as DSS.

Same here no holes or marks. That is what I wanted. Had my wings air brushed. Not Honda wings AirBorne.
