Spyder Tail Lights for FR-S & BRZ - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

They look amazing, but 2 issues:

1. The stock tail lights look good enough (at least for the FR-S), and any money spent would probably be for improving the headlights first.

2. They look too pink-ish in daylight.

They look horribly unfinished. I want to see them fix it so it doesn't look like a bent-up glowstick with a bicycle reflector in the middle. I know it can be done!

Here are a couple more since you guys seem to like them so much. I thought they were kinda cool in person.

While I think they still have improvements to make, I'm actually still interested in buying them. But only if a vendor can offer a huge discount, because that price is ridiculous.

Kinda like them, kinda don't. The white light line looks a bit too plasticy/fake for me. For that price, it's a definite no.

I think it's because they look a little pink, instead of red. Anyone seen a photo of them with the turn signal on?

I like them but they are DOUBLE the price of the similar TYC / Colin Project tails.
They range anywhere from $380 - $500 for pair from Japan.

I'll be having a meeting with Spyder next week regarding the tail lights and head lights (head lights are designed to be like the JDM factory one). I'll get some concrete information for you guys after the meeting.

That to me is the most unpleasant looking set of rear lights, even more so than altezzas. The rear of that car now looks like it has herpes and that glow tube looks like some shoddy work. The ends have a distinctive fade out and looks like a pvc piping connector. Looks like a cheap neon sign for a strip bar going out of business.

God have mercy on that car.

jedichimp · 11-07-2012, 05:55 PM

I just think a light opacity red vinyl overlay would make them look better. The amber turn signal is a no no for me. But I'm sure the overlay/paint would take care of that.

Not as bad as the ~$1400 for the Grazio ones.

The "glow tube" is similar to BMW LCI taillights, I don't know quality of these, we'll just have to wait and see. But if Arcenal and others are rockin them on their show cars they can't be too "shoddy"
