Ok so I am 99% sure I am going to buy these tails. I was going to get the JDM ones but saw these chinese oem ones and really like them for some reason. But what do you guys think? the first is a photo shop I did (with older pic of my car) lights are a lil blurry and second is just a pic I had.

I like the new ones a lot on your car, it gets rid of the yellow marker on the bottom of the light. And just cleans it up a lot

Yeah, I like them.

I "upgraded" to the Mazdaspeed tails. Well actually, my right one was cracked and I got these cheap. See if you can tell what the difference is:

Those would look killer Albert!

Tom at work (work monitor ftl) they almost look 99.8% identical, the only thing i can see is maybe the mazdaspeed ones are a bit darker red?

Yep- a little darker red/pinkish on the turn signal. When I bought them I really didn't even know there was a difference. I just bought them because the right side tail light was cracked (but you have to be looking for the crack to see it).

The new tails will be different. I'm kind of on the fence about 'em, I think I'd have to see them in person to see how they look.

I like them alot Albert!! A little suggestion to play around with... Tape off all the Red around the Clear reflector part and Tint spray the Clear with a light coat. Would match really good with your CF Trunk.
