problem with teh CF ones is that they got some problems with the design, as far as an aesthetic value

they have these lines on teh fiber that junk up the looks entirely. couple that with the fact that it has this Fugly red ring around the back up light, no thanks.

look at this!

yeah, and its supposed to have that ugly small red ring around the backup light.

also the other generation is supposed to look like the nipply impala taillights (eeeewwww)

so yes, you are right. it IS supposed to look like that. and THAT is why it is ugly as hell.

to me it looks like they just photoshoped the chrome ones
i say those too but there were some other ones on there earlier this year
i think they were like gunmetal or somethin. looked[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG]

as far as the ones int he link, they look a lot better than the chrome ones but i still cant get over those rivets.

Those are the TYC tail lights. They call them "elegantes"...They're not altezzas, not euros, but elegante's. I have a set of the chrome one's on my car, and if you look at them side by side with the other clears, they look ten times better, and that's not just my opinion but everyone who's seen them up close. Also, 99% of the people who have seen them always say something like, "those are sweet, especially the little rivets....Where'd you get those"?!?! It's funny cause I wasn't sure if I'd like them either, but you have to see them on your ride, they look real sweet.......
