Agreed - crystal eyes match the FRS best - because the front headlight design makes the car look like a pissed-off Samurai.

The crystal eyes makes the back look like a doubly pissed-off Samurai !

IMO, both tail lights look great! However, I'm a first time buyer and plan on purchasing the buddy club tail lights just because not many will rock em'.

So what if they're Aventador replicated taillights? Toms look like dodge chargers taillights and how many more of those do you see on the road? I guess that's my personal opinion though, I like the stock ones myself. If you're going for something different and aggressive then I say buddy club.

Tom's clear lens.


Buddy club tails translation is: The Aventador is too expensive.

I traded in my Charger for the FRS, and yes, Toms is just a ripoff from Dodge, but worse since it doesn't span the entire back end. I thought the charger had a unique backside at first, but now Dodge puts it on everything included the Dart that it becomes overused. So I agree with the above post, if you're gonna copy something, copy something good.

"The Aventador is too expensive. "
I think this is true for 99.9% of people, there's no shame in it. If u got the moola to get a lambo then good for you. Not everyone can.

In the end, it comes down to personal taste. Who cares which car it looks like.

The Buddy Club are ugly. Hands down the Tom's tail lights look much better. They look close to OEM and unlike other aftermarket tail lights they aren't over the top and have too much going on. Keeping it clean with the Tom's lights look way nicer.

I really like Buddyclub tails. It is a copycat from Lambo tails but come on, even car companies steal designs from each other. And ford owns lots of companies under one roof. So does general motors and VW. It's only natural they use similar designs.
At the end of the day, it's a great design and in my opinion it fits 86 great too,
Only thing that puts me off a little is the price.
Tom's on the other hand is just as good. It's just that i'm a bit more on BC side.

P.S. i'm totally NOT digging the sequential blinkers on BC though

Out of tail lights, I think our OEM ones look pretty damn good. The large circle for a brake light- it's simple and clean.

They are clear, yes... that's why the Grazio's are my fav http://www.japanparts.com/images/Ima...ase=1&no=44366

Gotta pay to play though :/
