Big Thanks to beltax90 for posting all the shots and clips of the twins! I always enjoy seeing them when they pop up in the various treads.

The red looks good on 2nd Gen- maybe because it blends with the taillights and not as standout-ish

I don't see the match either, but I definitely do not like the rear end, just like I do not like the rear end of the Supra for the same reasons.

The whole rear swoops up in complete contrast to the rest of the lines.

1968-1973 Corvette, tail flips up after sloping downward aft of rear wheel haunches, badass...
Infinitely better than
1974-1979 Corvette, tail continues sloping downward, looks kinda sad...

For FT86, I don't even see it rising back up any, it just flattens out, much as the current-gen does. Difference is viewed from the rear the current gen is flatter, where the new one rises from the sides and peaks in the middle.

These are not the same:





The whole bulging out, pushed up look on the 86 (and the Supra) just doesn't work for me. It's like the taillights are "too tight" and making everything between them compressed.

The lights just ruin everything.
They're not BAD they're just....boring because of how generic they look.

i.e., it's not really desirable to have lines always continue in the same direction.

But feel free to imaging the back of the BRZ continuing to slope downward instead of flattening out to form a sort-of spoiler. I don't think that'd work, *somewhat* similarly to how I don't think the '74-'79 Corvette tail works.

Not saying they have to be continuous just that the rear looks like it is grafted on from a totally different car.
