You know, we will probably also have red on the sides of US-spec tails since we require red reflectors (I think). Same as on the front, Euro/JDM specs just need side reflectors, while we need to have amber reflectors.

I think this will be the first time that U.S requirements will actually make the car look better lol

A simple fix for those who don't like the taillights.

Isn't painting tail lights so mid to late 90's? I thought the new thing was to use layovers. you know simple to put on simple to remove, nicer finish.

Just one example, there are dozens of other companies all of which I'm sure will have options for the GT86/BRZ http://www.lamin-x.com/Articles.asp?ID=267

thanks! it didn't turn out as sharp as I had hoped! hmmmm, I guess maybe the all red will do then? I wanted to keep the turn signal amber, because I hate red turn signal, but meh!!

Thanks buddy!

I think the blacked out ones are illegal in CA.

But the red ones look legit.

I think they made clear taillights ugly on purpose. Just think about it, what things can they change to keep interest later on the production run??? I think sexier taillights and bumpers will refresh the car around 2015.

Those two colors would cause too much trouble in Cali.

Since that red is too bright.. some drivers might think your brake lights are either on or off.. or don't know.

Tinted ones are hard to see through when people change lanes. Least it is for me when someone has tinted rear lights.

smoked/"blacked-out" looks lame, better "reded" out some but not completely. I'd get some vinyl as opposed to the 90's spraying the inside of the lens. Easier and more durable. We'll see what the US Version comes with, doubt they'll be full Altezza.

Ive never been a fan of "altezza" style taillights. Red-out or Blackout tails will be the first thing I address when we pick one up.
