Funny the OP mentions these look less ricey, but IMO they look like ricey altezzas. I actually think the normal clear red looks more OEM, but maybe that's because I saw the concept model and they also look very similar to the current VW taillights

I think it's 25. But there are still criteria that the vehicle must meet.

The R33 was found to be a vehicle that could be altered/adapted to spec to meet the NHTSA standards of importation. So if you want one here legally, that's the one to get.

The 32 and 34 couldn't ever meet these criteria. Many of the 32/34's were actually hunted down and destroyed as a result of Motorex's debacle.

One being the car from the Fast and the Furious.

The R34 will always be my absolute dream car of all time. It isn't really any different from any other car out there. It just holds a very special place in my heart for it's design.

It's supposed to be a link to the TOM'S tails announcement by Helix Auto Lamp (the seller) but they took it down for whatever reason (maybe they were receiving too many inquiries on something not yet official). Here is their FB page:

https://www.facebook.com/#!/helixauto?fref=ts

So consider availability TBD.

Will have to see how these look on a Asphalt car

I don't mind the stock tail lights (on my car) because I think they compliment the lighting up front, but I will consider these, though. These look like a subtle compliment to the red/black theme I'm envisioning. I mean, I have a red car, 15% tint all around, plan on getting chromium black XXR 527s, so these Tom's might work.

I'd take either over the oem's... Whichever I can find cheaper. I'm banking on @switchlanez to sell his current ones to buy these, that way I can have his handmedowns

If the DOT version doesn't appeal to me then it's gonna be a longggg wait for you bro, I sowwy :brokenheart:

BRZPDX 07-11-2013 08:14 PM

I want to see more pics of these, and installed on a car. Hard to say how they look.. Not sure if I can wait any longer!

ph0en1xtk 07-11-2013 08:25 PM

this is exactly how i wished the toms lights had looked originally. I tried the redded out look on my raven and didnt care much for it. My cut open blacked stock tails look much better, and this provides the perfect balance.

Im officially in love. absolutely cant wait until these are available :)
