I say clear because everyone has red.

FiRStsc10n 04-10-2014 12:27 AM

Wrb and red go well together.

ucsmfu 04-10-2014 01:55 AM

Red matches the wrb really well.

Ammonia 04-10-2014 10:48 AM

Red imo. I have redded tails, albiet stocks on a whiteout FRS :)

Please don't let other people choose for you. You have one of the most popular colors of a BRZ and are wondering which style of the most popular tailights to swap onto you car. You can find pictures of actual swaps with ease and make the decision for yourself.

Build the car the way you want it, not how others would like it. Otherwise it defeats the whole purpose of customizing your car and becomes one big FT86 circlejerk. My $.02.

Appreciate the thought, but I haven't seen them personally (planning to order it abroad) and hearing the different opinions of people here atleast gives me an idea on what's better. I value opinions but of course it's still me who's going to decide in the end :)

I have red Tom's on my WRB but I'm curious about how the clears look as I haven't seen any pics of them on WRB.

BoxRZ_86 04-10-2014 02:36 PM

I have red on my SWP but I have debated between the clear and red. I would go clear just to be different.

and i need to clean my mud flaps lol

No problem at all. I also wanted to see Clear Tom's on a World Rally Blue BRZ. Happened to stumble across some more photos, credit goes to @Jchonn:

Red, only and forever.

Deathalo 04-11-2014 07:19 PM

I was in the same boat and made a thread on this a few months ago: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1495403

Some more pictures there for comparison's sake, I haven't ordered them yet, but I think I decided on red. Another big factor was the fact that the big "Tom's" logo is much more visible on clear, which I don't like.

Red. All the way.

Myv 04-13-2014 09:46 AM

I definitely prefer the reds on a WRB.

I really dislike the red. I think it's too much contrast with the bright blue. But, I like a consistent look all around the car--clear headlights, taillights, and side markers (as much as is legal), and if there's chrome, I don't like gold wheels. Go with what you like!

BRZPDX 04-13-2014 10:37 AM

Clear is more rare. For now. You always have the option to go red or smoke in the future as well. I

Alltezza 05-09-2015 05:21 AM

I'm torn between them two. They both look SEXY

TKShu22 05-09-2015 01:33 PM

Both are nice I have the red on my WRB. Ties the red interior pieces in. Was thinking of going with red brakes also so it's all more fluid.

Did they ever resolve the burning problem though?

the below quote makes a really good point..

when they first came out, i discussed it with a couple people.. the general non-toyobaru community seems to like the red's for a mostly-stock car, with the clears being preferred for heavily modded cars..
