Default DEPO LED Z tail lights

Just saw this one on ebay recently and apparently this was featured at SEMA or some car show...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/03-04...QQcmdZViewItem

anybody seen this up front, what do you think?

No flames please, just coz it's not OEM doesn't make it Rice or ugly... unless you've actually seen it, then I value your opinion...

I bet they would look pretty cool with Bats overlays on them.

I tried emailing the seller for more pics, so we'll see...

it doesn't look too bad from the sides... and the Z logo is an inverted Z on the other side so it doesn't look too bad....

it's just hard to appreciate the actual thing based on a promotional picture that is usually photoshopped to begin with..

If anybody decides to purchase one, please post a review

I found another seller with a better pic

I agree, it could potentially look tacky... but sometimes they blend in when intalled so it may or may not be in the end...

considering I have Z logo plate frames, and a Z logo front plate (PA does not require front plates and I didn't want holes)... what's another Z symbol..

mc350z... those look kind of interesting atually... reminds me abit of which car... i think it's the mercedes SLR that has that extra piece in there. Got any more angles on them?

But the led tails that light up in a Z shape... i really wish they didn't make it like that. If the leds were all lined up evenly instead of making a Z and if it didn't lump out, it'd be sweet.

look ok. But with that price, you can get the 06 tail light too.

I'd have to agree that having a big "Z" on your tail light is tacky...

I like the design, but I also don't like the "Z" leds. Straight lines would have been perfect.

Add me onto the list of saying they are weak...

Its a tail light, you dont need to remind everyone around you what you drive. Its almost as pointless as the F430 indentation on the F430 side-mirrors. As if a badge is not enough to point it out, you need to get side-swiped so that you can have F430 imprinted into your memory. :-)

The LED's look cheap and not bright at all.
