Yeah I love those tail lights. I just posted a thread about them in another area, probably got moved by now lol... I especially like the close up photo of the left tail light... looks sexy... But my Z is the lighter silver paint, might not look as good on mine. How much did you pay for them and from where?
wow...I hated them at first. I would never put them on my SB, that's why I got the normal 06 LED's. But they just look like they belong on your car. +1 on the light tint though. It'll just add that little final touch to make it match your car completely I think. Great job nonetheless.
If they weren't on a bone stock Z they would probably look a lot better. But it just reminds me of a civic when somebody slaps altezzas on. The white causes the fluidity of the Z to be compromised and completely ruins the smooth rear lines IMO. And yes you asked my opinion when you posted these pictures on a public forum.

By white I mean clear. Bone stock Z meaning you don't have many exterior mods to compliment such an odd mod like these tails. I think they would look better if your Z was more extreme. Right now they just look out of place.

It seems somebody thought they were cool enough to put on the nismo test car

You have to have some sort of red marker on the back to identify the brake. Its just like you cant have front markers that dont reflect yellow in the US. Stupid laws. These are still on the edge since the bulbs are not marked as "red" but i dont think they will have any problem. You could buy them and clear the red paint off with little trouble but then you would risk nasty tickets and possibly even losing the tails. There was a lawsuit in my city with some apc kid who didnt have a red brake light and he lost his car. Yes it was a ghetto ricer but still losing your car would suck.
