What Do You Think If I Got These Carbon Fiber Tail Lights?

I photoshopped it and it would look similar to this:



I'm on the fence with the looks...what do you guys think.

BTW this would be a Birthday gift for me.

Aftermarket tail lights ain't my style, but those would be better than getting the clear/chrome ones. I would get some springs instead. It would look good AND give you some performance benifits.

I'd get them... heard they take a full second off your quarter mile time! It's cuz they're all aerodynamic and lightweight and stuff.
sorry--couldn't help myself. If you like them sure... personally I don't think ANYTHING can help the looks of the sedans ****-end. Save the money for something usefull, like new tires!

Think is my cousin has hookups with a garage and said he will get me anything from them for m y birthday. AND my car is on a lease so I can't really do heavy modding. I came to the conclusion that I will put eyelids on (cheap) and maybe look into an HID kit if he can get some discounts.

I hear ya bro...

Yeah I was looking at some kick *** P5 CF Tail lights and i'm like "**** man this is nice i'm gonna get this" Being naive, I didn't realize it was for the P5. I like some of the stuff APC puts out, they were working on a concept one a couple months ago but I don't know if its out. I'll look for the pic....

I like them, personally. Are they the ones from Corksport? I'd like to get them myself. I'm not really into the idea of pimping my ride, I'd rather put the money into performance/handling, but I would like to add a few cosmetic touches just to distinguish my car from all the other silver ES's out there--I swear, every 3rd gen Pro in Pittsburgh is silver!!!

No they aren't from Corksport (But they probably carry them anyway). Yeah in Winnipeg i'm one of the few that have a Blue ES-GT.

You kwno I do agree with Phantom, I do like the stock tail lights on my Blue Pro...it doesn't look bad or anything. I think i'm not gonna get the tail lights an invest in a sound system...what do you think?

Thoes don't go good with the color of your pro.. try the chrome that they said. Also, Alpine makes good stuff, but I'd go with boston if your willing to spend the money.
