What brand and how much would it normally cost. I want to add one but most reviews are saying they don't last very long. What did you think of the quality of this one?

PS: I LOVE YOUR PLATE! 8 mpg

i had actually bought one of these years ago. its a "bully" brand which i think is sold at Walmart and o'rileys. if i remember they go for $50-60. it will prolly last untill i buy the spendy one i want lol.

personally i wanted a more expensive unit, one that has white LEDs for reverse..ect but was not going to shell out $100 or more for one now.

i have a plasmaglow one on my explorer thats been there for 4 years still works perfect.

thanks i love the plate too! gets pruis drivers all pissy :-p
