I prefer the excellent fit of my David L's over these, but they do look nice on black cars.

Well, at first I didnt like them. I will agree they do look good on black cars though. So, since the review I am now thinking about them. Still love those David L's though.

Can we get more pics with them on your car. Different angles maybe. I just bought a blk 1995 SE a week ago.

For that price they should be LED style.

But, looks better than stock nonetheless

I think they only look nice on black cars. I just wish I didnt have to dremmel up my brand new tails to make them sit flush with my trunk

Thanks, I like the angles you took to see the flushness of the fit and how they look all around. I think I might just be sold.

There not horrible, but still dont compare to the DavidL's.
If they just didnt have that diamond/grid look to them they would look so much cleaner.
They are however a great improvment over stock.

i love the how-to section as well as all of the product write-ups. they are much better than the ones that a specific company will provide.

i've seen an actually CE tails on a superblack 95 SE on 18s and lowered, it looks really nice in person.

people with dark color cars should definetly consider these tails.

Yes, they fixed the posts that sit on the trunk lid so it fits 98% perfectly. I still would like the gasket to sit properly, but with some fiddling you can get it sit just right.

Eh... I've slowly come around to them. I wasn't going to pay $300+ for David L's... so I bought a tinted pair. Doesn't look too bad. I like the way they look at night.
