The 01+ tails look 1000 times better. I just think they flow better with the car. The pre 01 are ugly and I had to get rid of them as soon as I bought my car. It was my first mod.

What is with the emblem in the middle of the bumper on the 2nd pic?

The 01 and up for sure. Even though the stock lights don't look that bad.. Like Neo said they flow alot better with the trunk lid lights.

I think it completely depends on the look of the car or degree of modding your doing. If is will be stock----then 01 plus. Also depends which color. White and blue for example looks not so bad with the old ones as darker colors.... And different looks (ie w or w/o chrome trunk bar, etc, change the way it looks so the redded out old tails looks ok - ecspecially on a black car. Redding out....costs 5 bucks as opposed to spending 200- 300$???? on the new ones seems more worth it on other more worthy mods.

01+ definately. like Neo said the way they match up the inner trunk lamps is flawless, especially at night when braking or while haveing the lights on. They give the rear a more uniform look.. The JP's are cool tho..
