Default Opinions...rice or nice?

I think these look pretty good, but I haven't seen any pics of them on a car. What do you guys think? By the way, if you have pics, please post them.

Just get OEM red/whites and smoke the bottom half...that way they won't have that translucent semi-altezza look.

I would say maybe on the EK 4 doors they look good. I would keep it stock on the 92-95.

Looks like the inner tail is a tad smaller. If it's suppose to be the same size as the outer then they'll probably fit like $hit. Aftermarket headlights/tail lights are never as good as OEM when it comes to quality.

I will say that a local guy who's car I do work on had ALOT of ricey sh*t on his '00 Coupe. He had horrible Altezza's, but at the last meet showed up with these lights you posted here. I will say, under those circumstances, I like them alot. They are certainly a step up from altezza's. I'll say they don't look bad, his have a smoked lense, and overall they don't look like a far break away from stock.

I will say I think they are far less ricey than your typical aftermarket taillight. They just basically reflect the newer OEM lights which are clear versus the old late 90's style which were only translucent.

Thanks for all the opinions, positive and negative. I put some 16" gunmetal wheels on my EBP Si and thought these might look good with them, but after looking at blucarbonem1's pics (thank you), his don't look much darker than stock, but might be a different brand. These are made by Eagle Eyes, who make the best JDM CTR replica headlights. I know the Ebay picture, and marketing them as "performance" makes them look chintzy, but aside from the actual quality, I still think they look good. Maybe I'm a riceboy coming out of the closet?
