Owning a set of smoked Valenti's does make me bias,... but I love the lines of the red light (especially at night when they're bright in a dark street) and they just look Smoooooo th to me

The Buddy Clubs seem to be a less popular choice than I thought, but I love mine. The Valenti lights came in a close second, but the running light look of the Buddy Clubs is what sold me on them.

I like the aggressive look they have, I think it looks sick. However, I'm still thinking Valentis.


Also, Valenti's Revo relay looks way better than Buddyclubs.

Clear TOMS' because they are a great OEM looking match to the BRZ.

But if you're getting aftermarket tailights, why would you want them to look remotely close to OEM?

Because an actual enthusiast will know not OEM and people who want to call you a ricer or profile a modified car will think it's OEM.

I know a lot of people pick mods "just to be different and stand out". Some people pick mods because they think they are subtle and beautiful.

Each their own right?

I don't like the stock lights but I rather spend $ to track my car so I live with them ��

OEM

Picked Tom's since I somehow missed the OEM option.

I have mine wrapped and IMO, they're hard to beat. Haven't had any issues with the wrap or with condensation, so far so good.

I don't mean to piss off all those that like the stock lights, but to me the stock ones look like cheap after market units. The TOMS' (to me) look more OEM than the OEM ones!


Its bad enough the BRZ shares the same wheels, but after going to all that effort on the nose I think Subaru dropped the ball with the brake lights. Especially on a BRZ the TOMS' bring a more cohesive Subaru family resemblance to the car that was missing from the factory and help to raise the perceived quality of the car. Being body kit free, wingless and in polished show room condition most of the time no doubt helps too

Oh I see what you are saying now. I personally think the OEMs look fine, but the Valentis look aggressive to me
