Yeah same here. I may need to get just a dark set of aftermarket lights to remove all color front the outside besides greys and silvers depending where I take my build but until that day solid red looks pretty good to me.

Im getting the Shark Tube taillights when they finally drop (hopefully before I turn 80)

Is there even a site or anything that has them? I've only seen that YouTube video.

I'm pretty damn picky with my aftermarket tails... I have yet to see one that efficiently and tastefully (highly subjective, of course) utilizes the shape of the tail light housing.

Valenti's come close, but I really don't like the look of the huge tube when not illuminated, not to mention all the little LEDs for the braking and turn signals are just too "bling bling".

Same goes for the Crystal Eyes, I think they look great except for when all those little LEDs come on.

Clear TOM's almost won me over, but I can't help but feel like the inner "C" for the turn signal looks kinda squeezed in there and isn't lined up with the larger outer "C". I'm sticking with the stockers for now

I think it's pretty simple. The Buddy Clubs are a direct rip of Lambo tail lights - Whether you put Ferrari emblems, or those tail lights, that's rice (my opinion).

The Tom's are their own style. They match up with the BRZ boomerangs. Hence why they are becoming so popular.

I'm get what you're saying. Part of me wishes the Toms turn signals were flipped horizontally, but I love the way the way they look now that I have them on. Pics to come

Trust me - I'm just as particular as you are!

The Tom's are not perfect. I 100% agree that the turn signal is squished in there. Best solution yet though.

I'm excited to see what yours look like, in for pics.

I got red TOM's because they look the most OEM of the aftermarket options. I thought about painting the stock ones but I also liked how the design of the TOM's emulated the design of the BRZ headlights.

I liked the progressive blinker in the Buddy Club's but the rest of the design was way too flashy for me. If they'd do an all red version that might be cool though.

Looks awesome on asphalt. Definitely the right choice with the clears on that colour.

Snap some shots with about 10 ft of distance! Give that car some glory :)

With some light tomorrow :)
