Default Just installed RCR tails on my 99LS

Hey guys. I just got some new tails for my LS. I'm still trying to decide if I really like them better than the stock ones. I'll take some night shots with the lights on tonight after I get off work...but here is what I have so far.







And one of my Favorites

I don't like them, they make the LS look like ES.

The camera caught them in some weird way. They are the same color, just they reflect the light differently at different angles. If you are directly behind it, you wont notice the change. Everyone I know likes the look of it. They say it makes it look much newer than the older tails.

The tailes seem to be MUCH darker than the stock ones.

I'm still thinking about it though.

In like it. I've always liked the RC, or RCR tails on almost any car.
