not to shaby dude i never saw that on the market when i went back and did mine so i ended up forking the $500~ for my set of MR tails. i would certainly advise to go with the MR tails in the end but this looks like a good deal in the mean time.

I couldn't stand the cheese dick clear tail lights made popular by the out of control rice boy wasted youth Lemming movement myself.

...but I also could not justify spending over $400 at the time just for lights. So I went with some 7 year vinyl. This (poor) pic was from early 04' when I applied the stuff. They still look as clean/new as the day I applied it. I think it cost me $20 for a kit from MYEVOVIII. It really looks good in person, and I have to tell people standing next to them that it is actually vinyl.

Evodave FTW. He did the RS tails the same color as the car in Weightless White. They look amazing. He'll be doing the GSR in black in the future

I can't figure out what I did with the other photos... and I'm about to spend the rest of the day wrenching.

There is a post somewhere with many people's pics of the same product. Use the guy's name above.
