Default Which is Ricey-er?

Alright I'm looking at some taillights for my EG, and I know that 95% of you will hate on me for this, but I think they look sleek on the EGs. There are two new styles of taillights out, and I need new ones since I broke mine . I don't want stock taillights because I love the looks of LEDs.

Our first nominee is:

And our second is:

They look clean, they aren't cheap. Th euse the stock wiring. I think its just about being a little different. Feel free to flame, as long as I get an honest opinion from somebody.

Thanks,
Rob

Yeah, I don't like the chrome. I think the second ones look nice, without looking junky. I just want something that's nice in the day, but lights up really nice at night.

not feeling the top ones, and the bottom ones id have to see with the lights on. what about the clear on top, red on bottom tails? they kinda look like 2000 SI tails but for an EG. my friend had them, and they looked good.

Both look horribly ricey. They're trying for the LED-look that's on cadillacs and other luxury cars but they end up just looking stupid. They aren't even real LEDs. They just put a bunch of lightbulbs in rows in a desperate attempt to seem like an LED. I think it looks even worse than a single bulb.

These are probably the least ricey, but most different from stock tails that I know of. I'd sport them if I had the money.

If not for the reground cam you're getting for the sohc, you'd be in that category too


I think the 1st are more rice. I don't know what people will think of what I'm planning on doing - hacking OEM's (EF sedan) and putting in 72 high-intensity LED's. I already have 20 added in the OEM 3rd brake light. So... if you like wiring, I'd say go with the 'SI/EX' ZeeSix posted, but put your own LEDs in there.

BTW, I'm using LED's for safety, not rice. Everyone besides me in my family has been rear-ended (all had debilitating injuries), and the extra 10-15 feet of stopping distance they give make them worth it.

Alright. More helpful than I had anticipated. I think if anything the second ones, since I have a black EG, it'll look nicer. I've considered the JDM styles, but I want something that looks a little stealthier.

Well since you have a black EG and looking for a stealthy look, i wouldnt go with red/clear tails...it will be a little bright. JDM or OEM tails bro.

Honestly they're both ricey, but the second ones are nowhere near as ricey as the first.

Jesus christ the first one's belong on a god damn airplane.

I wouldn't buy either and I'd slap any of my friends for using them.

The first is rice

The second, well it looks like it belongs on a tore back late 80's Camaro that has the front GTO branded blacked out covers to match.
