The Toyobaru Tails
 
Hello everyone. I've set up this poll because I want to know what the community at large has/hasn't done with one of the most polarizing design pieces of our cars- the tail lights.

Please comment if there is something you've experienced which was not given as an option.

I actually like the stock.

Rayme 07-24-2013 04:04 PM

Yea I love the angry eyes stock tailights, where's the option for that lol.

sprayed mine red with duplicolor metal cast. No issues, going on three months.

Can spraying them cause cracks? I thought cracks happen with tint overlays due to expanding/contracting at different rates/temperatures and being a different material than the lense.

I replaced stock with Tom's.

It shouldn't, but I've heard that the VHT nightshades have caused other cars lights to crack before. Not sure how why or if it would happen with this car.

Got overlays when I bought the car and might switch them to the Tom's since they're finally available.

Switched to smoked/chrome Spyders

Painted the chrome bezels satin black and resealed. No issues. 2nd set for the car - previous set got mysteriously rubbed and I didn't like it.

I was going to get a set of painted ones, but found some crystal eyes on ebay at a very good price.

Taillights were the first thing to be replaced on mine. I love my Tom's lights now. The dark red tint matches perfectly with my DGM. My wife loves the stock tails but they remind me of the 90's Altezza taillight trend. Oh gawd no...

Stocks. I love how simple they are, yet aggressive.

wparsons 07-25-2013 11:34 AM

Sprayed mine with VHT red, no issues at all. They've been through HOT days, cold days, pouring rain, etc.
