Not feeling the blacked out portions of the taillights. Are those from eBay (Eagle Eyes or whatever the brand is)? I like the shaved rear though - how did you fill the holes behind the badges? I'm thinking of doing the same thing and putting some CF emblems into the L logo.

Dont worry about the holes. They are super small. I was going to leave my emblems off too but the wife insisted i put them back on.. Just fill the holes with some crazy glue to prevent water from going in.... They are way too small to bother me.

The only right way; holes welded shut, and a trunk respray.

No i didn't buy the lights on ebay, but ordered them here in my friends shop... they aren't cheap tho... 299 €... i guess thats about 400 $. They look very OEM-ish from the inside, so i guess they're worth it. we'll see, as long as they work, i'm a happy customer

That's pretty expensive, it's 200-240 over here in Cali.

? I think the OP was referring to $400 for the taillights - were you thinking that was for having the holes filled?

I was talking about the tail lights, those are Ebay tails with tinted blinker.

^ Ahh, okay. I guess I misunderstood the OP. Thought he was saying they were different from eBay tails. But yeah, $400 is a bit pricey.

Yeah he might not have gotten them from ebay but we call them ebay tails just cause those are the ones sold on ebay. Any company or shop can get those tails.

Ahh i didn't know that. Here in europe it's hard to find decent parts.
If these are that cheap, it does suprise me that few people on here have them. They look great, and better quality than most aftermarket parts imo.

Yeah I agree with you on that one, they look better then the oem IS-F tails imo. How much are IS-F tails over there? 600 usd?

I honestly dont know... The only way to get those here, is order them in the US or japan (very expensive due to the sending and crazy taxes) , or order them at the Lexus dealership... and i don't even want to know the price of those guys
