Question Need an Opinion-tail lights

So i've had my 350z for a few months now, so far all i have on it are some 19 inch black rims with a chrome lip. My car is dark gray and i wanna change the tail lights... ive looked at hunnnndrreeds of z's in the galleries and everyone either has stocks or smoked tails, but i found these:

whaddya think?

Kinda tacky, stock tail lights look great. We usually try to avoid ricer type upgrades

You can get whatever you like but remember that your driving a Z not some cheesy Honda.

hope it helps.

you could get the jdm lights if you want something a bit more rare, but they are pricey and dont look good on all colors imho.

Y'know, it says JDM on those lights... but I really don't think they're the real JDM lights. I'd advise against getting those lights. However, if you were to get the real JDM lights, I would fully support that decision.

I mean, we all have our opinions. Ultimately it comes down to what you're comfortable with and what you would be proud to drive. That being said, try to go for good quality lights. Cheaper ones will just drive you crazy with sealing and lighting issues, not to mention fitment.

Seams like you like rice so why ask us? Get what you want, no matter what it is somebody will absolutely hate it! CF mirrors...i hope that was a HA HA. You need a giant SUPRA type wing on that badboy...a chrome gas cover, led's whereever you can fit them. Ebay nismo seats....good to go!

You know what isn't played out? buying a kick *** car and leaving it look pretty much stock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You dress up the outside the engine stays beat and stock and you attract all that extra attention..that means more ppl will window shop stealing it! the nicer it looks to you, the nicer it looks to them?
