lookin' to upgrade my tail lights to some aftermarket stuff...

why in the world do the JDM tail lights cost an arm and a leg...they're nice, but they're nothing spectacular:

$450!!



What do y'all think of these for $190:



Do you think the "Z" in the lights is cheesey?

For $130, I really like these:



^^almost 1/4 the cost of the JDM tail lights!

opinions please?

is that in reference to the JDM tail lights being expensive?

or do you not like aftermarket tail lights? I don't want to go all out with my car and make it look like a ricer, but I do think some tail lights would make it look better

Does anyone have any pictures of a newer model Z with custom tail lights on it? I have a blue Z with tinted windows, and i'm really leaning towards getting some Altezzas for it, but I don't know it will look. Can anyone help me with pictures of their Z or know where I can find some good pictures of custom Z's with Altezza tail lights? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

I think the JDM's with some blacked out tint would look good, depending on the color of your car and if you have the windows tinted or not. If I could get them for $200 or less, I would, but forget paying almost $500 for some tail lights...stock it is.

The only car I've ever seen do a decent job of pulling off tails like this was a SS on my350. Don't do it please.
