Muz = $55.28
Ricks = $24.95

Muz sells JDM Honda made ones. Rick's are aftermarket made in China.

I C - that explains the price difference.

but i guess the obvious question is, is the quality drastically different?

i am thinking bout just picking up 2 sets of ricks just cuz i have a feeling a punk kid will rip them off my car.

Both sets I received from Ricks had condensation problems. It has rained a few times down here in Socal so I found out right away. Their customer service has been great though. Ill probably go with MUZ. I asked him about his sets and he reported back to me that there have been no condensation problems.

my ricks side markers were almost impossible to put on and take off whereas the oem jdm slid on like they should. plus i had the same condensation probs as everyone else. also dont be afraid to order from rick he has got some good stuff backed by EXCELLENT customer service.

I had three sets of Rick's and they ALL leaked. The plastic is also very rigid which makes them difficult to remove like someone else mentioned here. Nothing against Rick's though, they were very accomodating.

You can get the OEM/JDM clear markers on eBay all day long for less than $30.
