I like them on that car. Reminds me of the 90s.

Goes well with the carbon fiber, though I don't usually like carbon fiber.

I don't know... Just like it.

Your "$0.05 cents" is actually 40 times less than his "$0.02"

Shades are cool!

Odd. I seem to have decent taste (as told to me by many others who agree with me), yet I disagree with your opinion.

Oh, and I'm female too. Yet it has nothing to do with my opinion on the covers.

I definately like them. I like the blacked out/smoked lights. It's not rice when it's tastefully done. now, if you had big chromed out altezzas... that's rice.

I never found the EF lights overly bright anyways, and my area is riddled with deer and moose on the highway. I wouldn't leave them on, but it's your car, not mine.

Just a question. Where did you buy your amber corner lights.? And I think your rex looks better without the lip to be honest

I think the general opinion is to tone it down a little. If they made tinted/smoked light covers, instead of BLACK, they would be more accepted. Also, the carbon fiber lip is cool, just get a smaller lip, not a "cow catcher".
It would be a little less extravigant, yet still have a custom look.
