definitely unique, but the z32 (jdm) tails are definitely one of its best features

you know if it was skiline blue and rlly shinny it might look good i think the pain job takes away from the look but i see no need to change the tail lights

Exactly the rear end of the z is one of my favorite parts of the car as it's different from anything else.

The tail lights look awkward and too large for the rear (no pun intended ) and the z rear looks to good to mess with i say j spec tails and mission spoiler and your set

yea, i have 99 jspec ones, and i like them, but hm,, i personally like the rear look of skyline and g35 but hm,, for z32, the rear bumper that bulged out makes those lights to look bad.. have anyone seen g35 with r34 rear light?

at a car show in PA (grounded for life) there was a red ztt that had skyline tail lights that looked very nice, wish i took a picture. the lights didnt look like that tho maybe its a different style or just custom

I agree...the rear of the Z is one of it's best features and this looks very odd.

I might not have the best observational skills but they resemble Skyline taillights that Dan was mentioning.

Pretty sure that's a fiberglass insert. Can't remember the name of the vendor, I know they're somewhere in the UK though.

I would do something resembling the Ferrari 360's rear lights( with the mesh and all), but to be honest, when it comes to taillights JDM or even cheap Ebay tails look good to me. but the Skyline ones ruin the lines, they look out of place...plus amber is on my list of least favorites

Alright dude I just got over being ridiculously sick so please don't make me go backwards... R34 rear end belongs on R34 rear end.
