Which Valenti tail lights do you think look the best on WRB?

I've got a WRB brz and I have definitely decided on Valentis (The only other ones I know of are Toms, Spec D, and Spyder).

I've seen some pictures of smoked white bar Valentis on WRB and I like the look of it, so that's what I'm leaning toward.

I saw that there's an all red lens non-smoked version but I haven't seen a picture of it on any car yet, only the sale picture on modbargains.com.

What would you guys recommend for a blue brz?
Maybe if you guys have Valentis on a WRB BRZ you could post your pictures! I'd love to see them!

and thanks for any recommendations

Honestly go with what you like. Personal preference will vary. I've owned just about every aftermarket tail light out there and I still prefer a professionally smoked version of the stock tail light. Having said that, I really like the smoked Valenti style knockoffs by Helix over the original Valenti tails. The inner housing looks more appealing to me on the Helix variant
Here's a few shots of the original Valenti tails on my WRB

actually the ones in your picture are the ones Im leaning toward the most, i only wish it wasnt as smoked. i wish you could still see the white bar a little better.

Do you happen to have any pictures of the knockoffs you mentioned?

Here's a photo of the Helix version. Red bars verses white on the Valenti

I have the smoked Valenti's on WRB and I love the look! You can see the white bar very well during the day, and there's a red strip under the top part of the white bar that looks really nice. They look really good with the smoked Helix side markers. IMO it looks best if you get the tail lights and the reverse light bar if you can, I think it just completes the look of the lights, especially at night. I got the tail lights from modbargains.com but the reverse light from ijdmtoy.com because it was about $100 cheaper. The only downside is is a slightly different smoky color, but it's hard to notice, and they light up the same.

The white bar is the primary reason I dislike the look of these tails. the individual LED bulbs for the turn light would be the second

Man, those look really nice. I think this solidifies my choice. Thanks for those pics!

Just make sure you order these from someone who sells the latest batch of these. The first generation suffered from defecrive leds and leaking. Both have been addressed in the updated version

Eh, I like them because of the white bar... I agree a bit on the turn signal light, (or have them sequential would be nice) but it's still a sexy looking light compared to those Dodge wanna-be's we get stock.
