I respect your new tail light mod but I think your rear end is getting too busy. The gold emblems, the wing, the white/clear light...

hmm.. Maybe I have bad taste.

You should see all the stickers I plan on putting on my busy rear end.

Thanks for your input. I appreciate it. I do have plans to get the LED centers when they come available though. Hope you'll like that. All the gold, the wing, the tail lights will remain b/c I like it. Not too busy for me. Btw, the gold Aristo emblem was a gift from the wifie. That's why I have not bebadged.

Interesting. A gold trunk bar. Pretty rare
I dunno, gold lettering isnt really my cup of tea, I wouldn't put it on my car.
My parents have it on the LX470 and I think it looks ok on there. I guess its just the car and color combo that determines if the gold is ok or not.

Now people that put gold emblems on a Camry, Accord, or Taurus

Just wondering though, how much longer are the tail lights going to stay at this price? I want to get them, but won't have the cash for another month or two. I have a stash of money set aside for the JP/Wise tail fund

May I suggest another groupbuy down the road. When the LED inners come out....package deal anyone?

Gold package on jade green (and maybe only on green) looks just right. I have the same (gold on green) setup and love it. I specifically chose this combination at the dealership, because it stood out of the crowd of light color/chrome GSs. But, of course, it's all the matter of personal preferences and tastes.

This is the only color, other than black, that I would put a gold package on. If it did not match up so well, I would have changed to the black chrome emblems already. Still considering it though.
And yeah, gold trunk bar is very rare. I do not recall seeing another one.
Btw, thanks for the comments and complements guys.

I installed the new tails and love them. I do think that the inner ones look pretty dumb next to the LEDs, but the lights on the rear spoiler match the LEDs perfectly.

So I was thinking, what does everything think about tinting ONLY the inner lights? I have a white GS and I'm really wondering what it would look like.

Hello,
I was looking on ebay and found a seller who has these lights. He is also selling the inner LED if anyone is interested and does not want to wait for the GB.
Here is a link
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA:IT&ih=008
(also I am not the seller. JUst saw the auction and thought I would point it out).
