They aren't the worst. Why doesn't someone send Stillen their recommendations? Since everyone has an opinion.

Reminds me of a crappy Winamp skin. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I mean: it's disgusting.

Just needs to be altered a bit, ie. make the circle all red, and the chrome to black, and that thing would be HOT as hell!

someone call them and ask how much they want for these horrific pieces of plastic with missing blinker cover...

The company that makes them do make some decent stuff @ 180 per tailight for BMWs.. along a few hundred other models and makes.

so someone call them in the morning and post a price if you feel like it

I think these would look hot in black or carbon fiber.
Reverse light has to be black as well.

I called them and they said that there is no price availabe yet. They dont have the lights in stock but will soon have them. I would like to see what they would look like with a different color housing.

This fad with the LED's on the tail lights has gotta stop! The design of the 5th gen tail lights just isn't meant to have LED's!

If a company out there would make a simple red/clear taillight lens with the stock housing , it would be a hit!

It looks like they forgot to put the lens on... I really like that LED tails are becoming popular, it's a much better technology than incandescent lighting, but they just need to make OEM-style housings so people won't be turned off by the ugly.

more than likely what they're doing is, showing you what the insides of the lenses will look like.

my guess is that they're going to just sell the inside half, as shown in the ugly a$$ pic, and whoever's silly enough to buy them will have to take their stock lens off and put them on this thing...

just my guess though...

Those are just terrible, hopefully just a prototype. Maybe they will switch it up a little. I would like to see the other colors.

I've seen red tint-like film used to cover RSX tail lights to make them completely red. I suppose one could buy these then cover the entire things with the red film (or leave a circular cutout for the reverse light if so desired) and then they wouldn't look so bad. Just be glad that they're making LED tails for you guys..

I thought about this for the 5th Gen but the execution I have in mind is drastically different than what they are showing in the pic.
