ooph, I dunno not about these bud. Maybe they'd be nicer is if you removed the clear outter casing and painted the black surface body color so they blend in better.

Yeah If I did get them I would do some modification to make them more eye pleasing. Thanks man for the input.

lol at 24.99 for the lights and $155 for shipping. From that alone, I'd say the seller's shifty.

I think the stockies look fine and your 200 (or so) bucks is better spent elsewhere...like a rear swaybar or a header or a set of springs or a short shifter or a Mazdaspeed exhaust or...maybe even a lip or some C/F interior goodies from DGM.

saw those on a car here and was in love with them at first but after a while i hated them.
even if you modify them to look like the body color, it's may not look to good still.
because the guy painted them the color of his car and it still looks like crap, or maybe it's the color of this car, lol.

LEDs just don't look good to me (mainly because they make a car over the rice limit). Plus item is shipping from Hong Kong, so it might be a big fat scam.

Thanks guys. I think im just better off with stocks for now. I'm going to put (eggynatey) advice and get me a header as well as a mazdaspeed exhaust. But good looking out everybody.

LEDs are the new Altezzas. I like LED lights but I gotta admit, I'm with Matty on this.
It's not the lights but that godawful clear housing.

If they looked stock but just had the LEDs around the brake light then they would actually look alright. Those are just too much ..

These are the only aftermarket tails that I think are OK:

eww gross those LED taillights kill any bit of 'flow' our cars have.
