almost identical just like an aligator is 'almost identical' to a horse because they both have long faces??? 92-94 tails are nowhere near 'almost identical' to corolla tails besides being orange on top and red on bottom..but then again wtf do I know...

dude, you need to get off your soapbox already thinking that only what YOU think is cool, is cool. Everyone is entitled to their opinions but you don't need to go around shoving YOUR opinion down everyone else's throat. Don't sit their and argue over it...just deal with the fact that not everyone likes what you like. You stated your opinion, now let others state theirs without jumping all over them for it.

and to keep it on topic, 95-96 tails are my fav...

I think the major benefit of the 97+ tails is it really updates the car, they are very modern and clean looking.

I liked my half clear 95 tails alot after i modded them, and those are my 2nd favorite but they still made the car look older then the 97's..

the 92's are okay but i hate how they light up.. if you could get the 92-94 tails to light up like the 95 and up tails that would be a huge improvement.

Gamers old car. One of the first Soarers I remember with a Auto Couture kit. He moved on from the JZZ30 into a JZA80. I still wanna mod a 92-94 tailight with LED's and sequencers like the Mustangs. I've wanted to do it for years. I'm afraid of electrical wiring though.
