Valenti vs Winjet Taillights - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Limerick · 09-08-2014, 02:56 PM

I have a Firestorm Red FRS and I am debating between taillights right now. I am not too thrilled with smoked black lights with the car (which I currently have), and I am looking towards darker red tails. I'm looking at both the red and chrome Valentis or the red Winjet. Anyone have thoughts or experience with these (especially on a Firestorm color car)?

I could really use your help friends!

Valenti

Winjet

Valentis imo look better

Tom's look the best IMO

I'm fine with the stock ones, but I might be the only one!

I do like TOMs, but I don't know how good it would look with my already red car. For me, the Valenti's have the chrome and the Winjet is a dark red. Maybe I need to see what they look like working first.

I was originally going to get these, but after seeing them actually work, I was slightly disappointed. The strafing turn signals don't work in the same way as the Lamborghini. The outside is what strafes instead of the inside and that doesn't look as good to me. If someone has figured out a way to fix this, I would definitely get them.

You know, the stock ones were built to look good with the car (and I will probably keep them around forever), but I just want to try something new. I'll might revert back to stock, but I want to at least experience a new flavor!

Out of those 2. I clicked Valenti.

Between Valenti and OEM. OEM.

Slightly disappointed that they didn't appear the same as they do on a car that costs $400,000.00? I don't get it. The Lamborghini tails cost more than our entire cars!

The TOM's are the best looking to me but even though, I still prefer OEM because it's OEM. Part of loving something is loving the things that aren't perfect. It's a very good character trait to posses and at the same time saves you loads of $$$ in the process.

A really good point, thanks!

I'm fine with stockies as well. However I wouldn't mind the red stockers by Grazio.

I used to have smoked valentis. I now have red winjets and love them! I'm not a fan of red valentis. Check out my car journal to see pics.
