Default Xmas came early on Thanksgiving!

I've been wanting to upgrade my tails for some time now but didn't want to cash out the funds to get them. The JP was way out of my price range, the std Ebay tail is way too cheap and i didn't want it on the car. So, yesterday I received my Insurance Tail that my wife got for me. It actually looks way better in person than in the picture. I think this looks the closest the the JP in the sense that the clear turn signal are the same minus the LED. It's thin and has the red trimming around it which gives it a cleaner and more like an OEM upgrade.

Directly looking at it from a distance the LED is brighter. and in the pix, LED are with the brakes off. Overall, i'm very happy with it.

Default Nice upgrade!

Gsing430, the lights look really nice and was money well spent! I'm partial to the JP tails, but that is close enough and they are a lot cheaper I assume? They look good on the 430!

cus there are horizontal slats going through out the whole tailight, unlike the OEM ones where the horizontal slats are just centered.

That kinda sucks, it makes it look like one of those old school blurry taillights you see on older LS.....I hope they do look better in person, because I bought the same set last week
