Cheap knockoffs?

What does everybody think of these? Get the real thing instead?

get the real one instead, saving a few hundred dollars won't help you when the fake one looks like crap and does not fit like OEM

$600 for tail lights just seems nuts.

Rear will probably will need some modifying to get a factory fit look.

The tails are okay, many here even went the Depo Ebay route.
Depo makes many a replacement light that are good quality.

Yeah I would get the official JDM rear if I were to get one. I've cheaped out on parts on my cars in the past and end up spending MORE money in the long run cause I eventually end up getting the real thing.

if you're not willing to shell 600 bucks. Get the depo ones they fit and work great for third the price.

Get the real thing Its expensive but comes prepainted.

On the tails. If you are balling get the real thing. I got the Depo joints and 2 years later I've only had a small issue with the wiring on the drivers side twice. Wires were starting to pull apart. I pushed them back in......Works like a champ.
