Got these tails the other day and was not what I wanted (picture looked different when I ordered). I was seriously thinking about reverting to the amber setup, but what do you all think?

What I think is that I want to see them in person. And I'll do that tomorrow.

I think it looks kinda cool different from others I have seen which in my book is always a plus... wish i could come chill with the crew tomorrow

You can. Jump on a plane, or jump in your car right now, and head east!

This is the only reason I haven't taken them off yet. I'm hoping that it'll sink in within the next couple of days and maybe, just maybe, I'll change my mind. One thing I know is that I still hate them, but I hate them a little less than yesterday, so it's heading in the right direction so far...

But if I had to make a choice right now at this moment, I would switch to ambers.
Perhaps I'll like them being "different" enough that it'll grow, but still don't know how well it "works" with the car...

I'm kinda with you on that in that it doesn't seem like a big enhancement... but seeing them in person could make a difference.

John, I'll inspect them for the west coast contingency. Will see them tomorrow. Will report back. :biggrin

Yea BP, leave em on.. It'll give you time to decide.

Oh yeah, clean your exhaust tips. ;)

That will (hopefully) soon be irrelevant...

A dab of this and a lint free cloth and those will shine like a mirror.

OP, IMO, regular clear tails on an Imola car looks money.

I thought they looked good BP.

Gotta love it yourself though - its your ride. Hang on to the ambers... and maybe switch them back and forth every couple months... see what grows on you.

Let's agree to disagree. I personally feel they're far too bland... :)

I'm keeping my set for now. Once I get the LED bulbs, I'm going to see how they look in both housings. I may like them more than the other. Who knows.... :dunno


I officially don't hate the smoked rears at this point, but I don't quite love them yet, either. I still want the Red/Smoke/Red, not all smoked look though...

I thought they looked good when I saw the car this past weekend.
