AMEN, why did our cars have to come with tail lights that look like cheap APC parts from discount auto!? I'll be getting TOM'S they look more natural like what the BRZ/FRS should have come with. The buddy clubs look super ricey and an obvious rip-off of lambo. The TOM'S might look like other cars tails as well but at least it's not a super specific ripoff... only the Lambo has those arrow tails... until now lol

Matt Troy · 02-01-2014, 10:08 AM

ACTUALLY... after looking up those Valenti's they are pretty sweet as well... anyone got em? Is that company decent? Another reason why I would lean on TOM'S is because they are a legit long-standing racecar equipping (is that even a word LOL) company... hence the Denso TOM'S supra from old JGTC and countless other japanese touring cars
Anyone with the Valenti's speak up please?

The Tom's Tail Lights look like they could be OEM. I like it. They match the headlights on the BRZ, too, IMO.

Also, the ultimate deciding factor: Tom's are DOT approved.

There a things I love and hate about them all so far and have yet to find the perfect tail light. Crystal Eye would have to be my favorite so far as the outer lens seems to be the most resilient of them all

Buddy Club is next!

Buy what you like and forget the rest

^^This guy no lie, I truly think he has had every set of tail lights for these cars lol.

An FRS not BRZ but should give you a good idea.

I got the Buddy Clubs because not a lot of people were getting them, and I wanted something that would stand out a little. Yes they are a little flashy and over the top sometimes, but I can tell you from personal experience that these tails look 100x better in person than in pictures.
Everyone was getting Spyders and Valentis and Toms and Crystal Eyes so I wanted mine to be different.
IMO, Tom's belong more on BRZ's and Buddy Clubs belong more on FR-S's.

Can you post a pic of red-out stock tails... I am curious to know what it looks like.

Thanks.

reeves · 02-05-2014, 08:08 AM

When in doubt, just stay stock.

gt8613 · 02-05-2014, 10:37 AM

Oh yea, I really really really really really really really really really like stock now 😄

Matt Troy · 02-16-2014, 07:10 PM

I ended up getting the Spyder tail lights. After much deliberation, comparing the various looks, I decided that the Tom's weren't aggressive enough to match such a sporty car, and the Valenti's still had clear/chrome showing in the middle, which is what I cant stand. I installed the Spyders last week (i got normal red) and I can't stop staring at them everytime I see my car! Spyder tail lights FTW
and they were only $315 shipped!

woode · 02-16-2014, 07:38 PM

Tom's are the lights that should have came on this car from the factory. They match the BRZ headlights perfectly.

Chalk another one up for the Tom's.
