Whats the difference between replica and none?

The depo are cheaper and are your best bet due to the Ralliart situations. That and reading your previous posts your not a label ***** so go with the depo taillights.

There really is not much visually noticeable differences between the two.

The only difference is that the real Jdm tails has the word Stanley on there.

If you don't care about the taillights being authentic, I would go with the DEPO. If the glue leaks, reseal them.

depo tails FTW, they make the car look so much better at a fraction of the cost of the oem jdm tails. only difference is theres an embossed depo logo where the stanley logo goes but whos really gonna care they look great

I've parked my car (depo's) next to an evo with the real evo IX's (I might be able to dig up a pic if necessary) and the only difference you could see was the DEPO versus STANLEY logo on the lens. The glue lines is SLIGHTLY more noticable on the replicas, but nothing you'll even notice unless you're standing nose to lens with the taillights. For what they cost, they're great.

Now we just need to convince DEPO to make replica JDM headlights

haha no worries, im quite the noob myself. make sure you post some pics when you get theme. what color is your Evo? Also, let us know what vendor you get them from. I know some sale the tails, with side markers as well, amber or smoked. I thought about doing this and getting the smoked side markers.

US Army, stationed in the Seoul, area. Will be back to the U.S in March. Just bought my Evo about 2 weeks ago and is waiting for me. I think I've only see 1 Evo since being here. Another Military guy at another post. I think there is a couple other members here that possibly have their cars here. I can't wait to get back to my car and have fun with it.
