Forget the haters, I love these things and am the farthest thing from a "ricer" . We got these on our race car that only see's track time, and I still love them.

Don't get me wrong, I like these, but I would never rock them. With that said, I think haters is a strong word for a product like this.

Not bad, at least they're clean. Most of the alternatives look like an explosion of confetti and rave.

I just ordered these from FT-86 SpeedFactory. I think they look great on the grey twins. Should arrive at my door tomorrow. No, I didn't get a lambo door kit.

Are you kidding? The guy made a simple request to see pictures of the BC tail lights installed on members' cars, and the majority of posts thus far have been of Lamborghinis, people telling him not to forget the Lambo doors, etc.

It gets old, and as someone who has these tail lights I think that they are just gorgeous in person. I get that people don't like them because I didn't either the first time I saw them, but all of the absurd comments about Lamborghinis simply because their general design is very similar to that of the Aventador has been played out - it's like telling someone they should never have a double cheeseburger unless it's a Big Mac.

The majority of mods posted on this section of the forum are completely non-essential for anything other than demonstrating, or enhance our own personal tastes/preferences, so why make a post just to poo poo someone else's choice when they're asking for help?

@op - I hope you like your new tail lights! You'll be able to tell immediately once you see them in person how much thought and work went into making these. It is hard to get a decent idea of how the BC tail lights look in person because of the reflection on the lens, so again this pic won't do them justice, but hopefully it is helpful to you -

Good choice on the tails. I've seen the "hate" on the forums for my tails from a few people but I literally have had at least one person almost everyday for the past few months that I've had these tails come up to me and tell me how amazing they look. I've had a guy pull up behind me into a gas station just to tell me my car looks sexy at night lol. Honestly, I hated the pictures and videos of the tails because they looked lame but they are 100x better in person, I guarantee it.

With that said, here's a picture of mine (not a white car though):

We have been constructive about the design of the tail lights. Perhaps OP will be pushed in a different direction. I don't see harm in that. Posting shots up on the net is all about likes and dislikes.

Expect some attention when you rock an accessory that is lambo-inspired. Much like installing vertical doors. To each their own right?

Thanks man! I kept wondering if I should not get them because so much negativity was being said about these but I'm confident that I will love them and I will install them this coming week !

Don't mind the negativity. If you like them, then get them! There is always going to be someone that doesn't like the same thing as you.

Like I said above: I like these tails, but I wouldn't rock them. I despise the fact that they are clearly Lambo style lights. However I can and will respect anyone who does something for themselves and not based on what others think.
