ricey, gay?

I think I like them, but I may kick myself in the *** for ordering them and not waiting to see if we can get the 06 tailights retrofitted on our older Z's.

flame retardant suit ON!

the black ones aint so bad. The chrome ones are just plain ugly. Just looking for something different than the stock ugly "half-of-my-rear-end-is-red" look.

So, wait for the 06 conversions. Is that what you are trying to tell me?

got bats overlays already, fact still remains that I hate our tailights with a dire passion. Feel like I just put a band-aid on a broken leg.

I hate how those "bubble out", I didnt notice that the first time. If they were flush it would look better, almost like what lexus is doing.

I love the LED's though.

I probably wont get them, I just am sick of the stock Z tailights. Even with bats overlays, overall they still look like a turd.

Id kill to have those clearcorners.com tailights, but considering I will never be willing to pay that much for freaking lights, added onto the fact that the price listed is for CONVERSION only, Ill never ever get them.

Oh, didn't know you already had them haha. I think the best thing for you to do is just wait til those 06 tail lights come out. THOSE ARE SWEET, I love the LED's.

they all look the same to me... their the same shape, the same shade of red. only difference is when you step on the brake. nice novelty, lord knows I love me some LEDs. but in the taillight, it looks identical the way they set it up.

I saw these in person too (the silver not the black).

The suprising thing about them, once you get past the appearance of them, is the terrible fitment. You can sorta see it in the pictures provided above, but there is a huge black gap at the bottom of the taillight that just looks wrong.
