Too ricey, or looking good?

Saw a set of tails I've never seen before here:

Kind of reminds me of what the Mazda 3 sport is rocking right now.

So what do you guys think, so good or no good?

Yeh, I just liked the 'pod' lights, rather than having the whole thing light up.
Kind of like this, on the stock 3, with it's sweet LED bulbs:

When it boils down to it, really its a personal thing. Be pretty boring life we would lead if we thought alike. Some just have better taste,,hahaahhaa

So then on this topic, what do you guys think of the new Mazda 3 tail lights? There should be a picture posted above of what I'm talking about.

OK! Using the magics of photoshop, this is my estimated look:

From left to right, normal; crystal red; black. The middle ones are kinda sharp, no?

Yeh, me too. Think I might go with that. I just like the 'clear' lenses, where you can see the bulbs better than the opaque plastic.

The middle one is like, subtle, but cool. Ten bucks less than the black ones too, lol.

You mean don't buy from that specific seller? I can see eBay vendors messing up performance parts, but I think it'd be pretty tough to screw up a plastic housing.

Even so, I'll take your advice, theres gotta be others selling similar stuff.

IMO there is nothing wrong wit altezza tail lights. as long as it looks good. besides all that matters is that you like it.

That's true to a point. Sometimes it's good to make sure you're not making a fool of yourself, haha.
