What do you guys think?

Kinda remind me of C3PO.

BlaineWasHere · 05-10-2013, 12:20 AM

Are they the all red ones? If so than ok, if not, then not.

JackSmiley · 05-10-2013, 12:29 AM

Yeah, they're the all red ones. The red tails stand-out a lot on an asphalt.

PMok · 05-10-2013, 12:50 AM

very nice, i think these might be the best looking aftermarket tails that deviate from the OEM design.

Heck ya! Would match my license plate frame lol.
@JackSmiley how much did those tails cost ya? Just curious since I'm planning on painting mine.

JackSmiley · 05-10-2013, 01:24 AM

Got them for $500 shipped. Reg price for these are $699 here at the forums. Japanparts.com sell them for a bit over $350, but dont know how much shipping would be.

Very nice sir.

Do you have that triangle on a switch or connected to the 3rd brake? Legality issue I found one since the OEM may be disable.

Was parallel parking half asleep this morning and curbed my front passenger wheel AAAARGHHH!

Only a matter of time before the plastidip starts peeling off. Alright, done venting, guess its time to paint these wheels "fo-reelz gawld"

Paint? The whole rim is trashed. Gravel wheels it is. Haha

On a side note someone help me decide on springs. was thinking Yellows the whole way until I saw the BRZ rates for swift, but there are reviews really for them. Need them in time for vegas.

BlaineWasHere · 05-10-2013, 05:44 PM

I've already curbed the shit out of my grids, I parallel park often and I don't give a fuck. I just get the sharpie out and color it in!!!

I'm much more careful with the RPF1s.

Tapped the rear brakes for the fog light "triangle". It turns on whenever the headlights are on, and it'll blink/flash for 2-3 secs when i hit thr brakes then goes solid. Never had any issues with cops pulling me over coz of that. I've had cops tail me, but never pulled me over.

Clipdat · 05-10-2013, 06:22 PM

Any pics of the new tails w/ the headlights off?

I remember you having that fog/stop light when I was following you on the Devil's Slide drive. Made me want to get it for my car, as it's definitely noticeable during the day, and even though some people might be annoyed by the flashing, at least they're aware your stopping.

Nice tail lights by the way!

Aw man, while I'm sad that this happened, I'm glad that something positive will come of it. Can't wait to see when you paint them "fo-reelz"
