New tail lights or spoiler?
If I was going to only update one or the other, which do you feel would add the more visual appeal to my 2013 10 Series FR-S, Valenti tail lights or add the factory rear deck spoiler?

Opposite, get the Nur-spec spoiler! Stock tails are mean looking.
If you have a totally empty trunk, I think the normal trunk lid spoiler is great. The Scion/Toyota one though, not the Subaru one Last edited by DarkPira7e; 03-18-2019 at 04:30 PM. |

Tails. I hate the stock chrome look. Reminds me of the early fast and the furious car scene and chrome civic lights.

Gives a nice, subtle stock-but-not appearance. I got mine for $218 (my car below) I bought a ebay, pre-painted TRD style rear spoiler for $140, and it fit great. I just used my own 3M tape instead of the supplied.

I say spoiler. A decent spoiler will add visual length and lines to the car. Tail lights just look good from the rear.
I have the stock Scion spoiler and all the cars I see without it look strangely short to me.

A spoiler visually raises the rear of the vehicle and gives it more of a wedge or doorstop shape from a side profile. The trunk lid without a spoiler looks a little too droopy IMHO.

Thank you for all of your inputs so far. Like me, the posts have been about 50-50. I'm still on the fence about which I'll do, but there's a chance I will end up having done both at some point in time.

New tail lights or spoiler?
My vote is to do both but tails first. The OEMs are unbearable. The chrome crap belongs on a teenage girl’s car that still thinks “Alteza” lights are cool. I sprayed mine red and it looks WAY better.

If ur not aware, the OEM spoiler needs trunk holes. Must people are dying to get a trunk without holes so they can mount a traditional spoiler. I say tail lights, and get a traditional spoiler. Google frs trunk holes and ull see.
