Just bought these aftermarket tail lights - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

The red smoked is the first aftermarket tailight that i would consider, is the piece in the middle white or a frosted clear color? I think that part would look better tinted or smoked, it looks good on the white but it would look strange on other colors.

Clear

Red Smoked

Dark Smoked

As of now, I like Red Smoked better. But if you can make that bent part in the Dark Smoked white as well (like in the Red Smoked), I would like those better. Do you think these would be going for sale any time soon? I would buy a pair.

Red and dark smoked are both sick, might be a coin toss for me. When would these be on sale and how much $$$

Japanparts.com has been in contact with Colin and said that the tail lights are in stock and they already have them on order with Colin. Was told my order could ship as early as next week

I'll update the thread with pics when they arrive!

Yes! Can't wait to see pics.

Clear

Red Smoked

Dark Smoked

My initial impression is that the clear is ugly, the red smoked would be better were it not for that white piece, and the dark smoked could do without the white piece as well. Might grow on me over time, but that's just what I first thought.

japanparts.com has updated the delivery time from 10 - 15 days!

The 3D LED Bar is white when it's not illuminated.

These are still under development.

All we know is 3 colors are being designed and our customer wants to know which color is the most attractive to N American BRZ/GT86 owners.

I think most would agree the Clear are the least attractive, i'm in for the red smoked if they are reasonably priced.

They are all somewhat ugly to me in completely different ways. Clear is definitely the worst. All red would be best, but the 'red smoked' doesnt look bad other than the white plastic LED diffuser bar thing.

Red and black look good but not with the white imo.

A smoked red would be killer.

Clear looks like craps to me worst than stock

@pansontw

The very things guys disliked above, I liked. I dunno, personal preference I guess. Good thing though, we wouldn't want a clone of every BRZ/FR-S out there right ?
I'm guessing these tails will all have a market, and for the guys that are uncertain at the moment, they may grow on them after seeing them in person and on their cars

The clear seemed to be the least favorite, but I liked it. So whoever buys clear will have unique look that most others won't

My favorite is the dark smoked for the record, but I liked them all for different reasons

Same here. I actually like the white part that everyone else seems to hate. lol
