Default Euro-style taillights

Dunno if it's been posted, but I'll share them again if they have. What do you guys think?

uh..nuh...

You guys will just look like every other civic, accord, celica, rsx, 240, altima...etc...out there (at least just the ones with these euro lights)



But seriously, if you want it on your car, whatevers. Yo money, yo car. Have fun, but mod with the name "Lexus" on your mind.

In that case I'll mod each light circle to have the "L" Lexus Symbol in LEDs
So everytime I brake it'll be like "Bam! Lexus *****es!"

aftermarket parts for a Japanese car should never be referred to as "euro." Those get the big from me.

these clear altezza taillights are way out of date. Even lexus, one of the last stawarts, and alternatively, the first brand to use "euro style" tailighrs has abandoned the design.

All the new cars use a different design now. If you want your ride to look last gen and dated, go for it. I just think it looks stupid, is a fad that is passed and is one of the more "rice" mods you can do. These would fit better on a integra or something already fugly/stupid to begin this. Dont subject your classy lexus to this bs.

These are all care released very recently. As you see, wether Asian, US or even european, no self respecting carmaker is going to use those stupid passe "euro style" taillights. Hell, with a bit of red tint/paint, the 1992-1994 SC taillights can look very close to the new Is250/350 taillights, showing how well the timeless SC has aged.

Default .

wow, I didn't expect so many responses with such exquisite loathing .

I just wanted to know what other members thought; I'd never put those on my ride, personally. It just wouldn't match the red on my 95... but I think the black housings could look alright on black paint.

I'm getting a set of 97+ on ebay so it's all good to me.
