Mine shipped today! Haters gonna hate LOL

I know they're not everyones cup of tea, but I personally like them, as I'm sure others do also.

I wanted something different and unique, not something that was readily available off ebay or wherever that everyone else owns.

It's about personal taste and making your car your own

No regretz, at least not yet

I like them! The only concern I have is that in those new pictures posted, the light outpit seems VERY dim during the day. Hopefully they're brighter IRL. Post pics when they're installed! I'm tempted to get them but the light output is a very big concern for me.

Will do! I'm not worried about it, I think they'll be just fine

Pics never do any justice to these kinda mods anyhow

Prices ranged from $800US to $900US Plus Shipping for those that enjoy stock or euro look
Might be closer to the look you want, but your gonna pay!

So dumb, you could do the same thing to your stockers with $10 worth of paint.

For my car: red, flush to the body lines and something other than white for the insert. The other choices may be something that would work on the other colors that the cars can be ordered with.

Given that there appear to be no retroreflectors at all, I'm gonna guess that's a no.

Dim lights + no reflectors = Bad times. Some people seem really casual about this. There was one guy in another thread who I think has been creamed twice in rear end collisions but still decided to spray his tails (and thus his reflectors also) with tint.

Any decent lawyer will realize with this type of car it is likely to be modified, and some of those modifications might effect safety. Won't take long for them to notice the illegal taillights. That is, assuming you're well enough to be sued after the accident. I've seen some pretty horrible rear enders with fatalities.

As mikeg said, these brakes will probably be damn near invisible in the daytime.

At night? This is already a small, low to the ground, easy to miss car. Throw in a dark color like our black or gray, and the fact the car only has black trim, it can vanish pretty quickly especially if it is wet out.

All in all it puts a lot of faith in your third brake light, which a lot of the same people seem to modify in some ill advised way anyhow.

Here you go, do a car search on left side of page. Select catagory and select all brands, click search or go. Click convert, select currency and refresh.
Plug & Play I have no idea, but I'm gonna guess at yes as most of the items are specific to FR-S/GT86/BRZ

Enjoy!
