So you can stick to re/de-badging the scion into a toyota or w/e whereas I will keep my subaru a subaru.

It's owners of BRZ's with that mentality that give them a bad rep. Might want to update your profile as well since it says your prospecting a FR-S...you know since going to be in a Subaru in all.

In terms of the taillights Tom's, but then again the market is flooded right now with companies/shops coming with parts constantly...

Not to jump on a band wagon here, but the Crystal Eye's are number one, but between those two, you cannot go wrong, that said i like the Buddy clubs better

Stierzy34 · 09-09-2013, 04:57 PM

hmmmm, something about the TOMs still pulls me that way. I like things simple though

Steve201brz · 09-09-2013, 05:29 PM

the buddy club looks amazing when theres other accents to compliment it. if it's going on a mostly stock looking car i think it'd draw too much attention to one spot to have a positive affect. i don't think it has anything to do with the actual look of the light itself imo

Toms de-ricifies the stock altezza style imo. Because it doesnt stand out is a plus.

It's sad I had to spend $490 to get taillights that look more "OEM" than the OEM ones. (yes, many of you paid less for your TOM'S, don't rub it in!)

I think the crystal eyes are by far the best looking.. I voted toms because between these two, IF I had to go with one, it would be toms.. But I don't like the look of them either.. Way better then buddy club, but valenti and crystal eyes are, in my eyes, way better looking

Excuse me...what?

I am simply retorting to what he said.

I have equal love for all ft86s and as the title would suggest...I appreciate both these tail lights.

It just seems some people take such topics too personally and an in a immature way sadly.

Ah i see... my mistake. Thought you were acting like one of the many BRZ owners who give the rest a bad rep because they feel some sense of entitlement since they are driving a Subaru instead of a "inferior" Scion. Like the higher price tag immediately makes it better. Again my mistake

Naw both of them are pretty nice.

I choose BRZ because I can get it at a great price and I wanted the nicer interior because it will be my DD for now. I don't have another car.
I was previously thinking of getting a 10 series FRS, before I came across Clint...but now it is more expensive.

I would get the FRS if I already owned another car and was buying this one for tracking purposes. Then I would see all of the interior garnish as a waste of extra money and adding junk weight.

Clear Tom's all the way.

Toms are the only tail lights out that look like an OEM piece of hardware as far as I am concerned. I like the look of the buddy clubs but they do scream cheap lambo rip off, a few steps removed from lambo doors.

As far as I'm concerned, subaru and Toyota got their designers asses handed to them by Tom's.
