Ferrari tail lights look great on a ferrari, but if you try to make a brz/86 look like a ferrari it ends up giving off the old fiero ferrari kit car vibe.
I'm in a bad mood this morning and taking it out on tail lights...

I have the total opposite view of the taillights. I think the first ones were basic and simple, flowed with the body and suited the intent of the car. The new ones look like big neon signs and come across as pretending the car is something it isn't. They look more aftermarket than some of the aftermarket ones do.
