Smoked lenses would look great on your car! Not sure if those are genuine, but for $250 shipped that's really cheap! I'd go for it and save yourself the $100 for another mod.

Still love the way your wheels look, btw.

I sent them a message asking if they were real valenti or valenti "style and what kind of warranty there was. This was their response that i received in about 3 minutes lol.

This is authentic valenti tail lights from Japan.
3 months full coverage warranty, plus 9 month warranty without shipping coverage.
thank you


And then i went and looked through their sellers history and everyone i could find who bought them gave positive feedback about the tail lights and the 4th tail light/brake light.

I'll probably be pulling the trigger Friday, maybe tonight if i cant get it out of my mind haha.

Ah, the 527's are pretty nice as well! I still look at other wheels too. I've been looking at 18" TWS T66 in Gloss Gunmetal.

My only concern is whether or not I'm low enough to pull off white wheels lol. All gunmetals look good though on any color can't go wrong there

I did not use the exact same seller, but I have those lights and they are marked Valenti, made in Taiwan and assembled in the USA. They have a reflector strip that makes them USDM DOT compliant.


I am very happy with them and no issues so far, just about a month in.
