Thanks!

Honestly, I was WAITING for this to come out! I never knew this was a thing at all.

I thought about getting the Revos but, the price was a little too much for me.

Dear god, this is perfect.

The LED optics on the china tails are probably not as good as OEM. Just my assumption. I hope fitment is not an issue either.
Also, I think right now is the best time to purchase these before a US company buys them in bulk and resells them for 2x the price.

Well considering these were sent on the weekend, I paid no import duty either and arrived today..... so well chuffed. Came well packaged and wrapped too, gaskets are also attached.

Here's the 1st set of images:

Imho the main bit about these is, sequential or not, cheaper then stock if one wishes to retrofit in pre-MY2017

From the pics, those look to be just as nice as my OEM tails. The sequential turn is nice too. Hopefully fitment and quality is spot on!

They look great for aftermarket units.

Looking forward to that! Please compare them with one OEM on one side and a Chinese one on the other?

They were P&P on my UK car so you'll have to repin them.

Fitment is fine. Needed to adjust the gasket a little, but no real issue.

I figured different versions would arrive as mine were denoted as PC-R which I assumed was clear-red.

Ordered these on the 7th, shipped on the 9th and arrived on the 14th... Considering ETA was June 28th - Aug 15th. I would say the turn around was amazing.

They looked pretty dang good. The fitment was great, Gaskets needed to be adjusted a bit to seal properly (Use a spray bottle after installing and make sure you don't feel any water coming into the back side). Also had to repin them since USDM has the Running and Flasher wires switched. (Youtube has instructions, just look up Repin BRZ tail light, it wont be the exact model, but close enough).
