If you can pay for the IS-F tails, go for it.

i would never pay the price for IS-F Tails just to make those "minute" changes that no one notices unless you tell them.

I like both but if you have a lighter ISX50 the all redout
would look killer and a darker would look even more
aggressive with the IS-F but again thats IMO

i think the redouts make the tailights more cleaner, all red just one little block of white. when IS-F tails have 2 blocks of white. but i still like hte IS-F tails but love my redouts more

OP here. Here are my thoughts. I go back and forth all the time in my mind about which I like better.
I'll use this picture below as an example. The middle car (3rd from left or right) - I absolutley LOVE the way the F Tails look here. Without you all thinking I'm too nutz, they almost give the tail an evil or menacing look... like the tail's are frowning aggressively, ha, sorta like this guy -->
With that mad look. Somehow the white blinker box highlights this and brings this out. The redouts don't give me this 'menacing' look, giving the tails that aggressive personality.

Now, having said all that, if you look at the car all the way to the right, I don't get that aggressive/menacing look whatsoever with these F tails... Weird. And the white blinker box, now not setting off an aggressive look anymore is just adding noise. Here, I would use a redout...

Do you see what I'm talking about? Or am I just a crazy nutjob artist...

Maybe it the cars look different to you because one has blackout bumper reflectors as the others does not. If you have a dark IS I think its a must to black those out. They look good on the white cars but not black.

You used my pic twice in this thread without asking my permission!....just kidding it's all cool.

The 3rd car does NOT have IS-F tails, those lights are from ebay. The right most car has IS-F tails. That said, I prefer the ebay ones especially when they're lit. They are also cheaper than the IS-F tails and comes complete with 4 pieces vs. the 2 pieces for the IS-F tail upgrade.

Ebay IS-F tails left, IS-F tails right. The ebay tails are a bit lighter then oem tails or is-f tails so you might want to tint it a little to give it the perfect look.
