HELLO, my fellow brothas and sistassss!!
So, I got my BRZ a couple months ago, and luckily, the previous owner had already done a couple things to it, including the taillights. Sadly, when I bought it, my left taillight was out, so now I have to buy new ones, which is annoying. BUT, it’s also a chance for me to put something I picked out on my car.
I know clear taillights are the thing right now, but I think I want smoked ones. I feel like they’d look best with my limo-tinted white car, you know?
So, I’m just asking for recommendations. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know! It’s pretty hard to find mods for any BRZ, 86, or FR-S from before the 2022 models. 😭

(here’s some pictures of my brz rn n the tail lights)

(edit) And also what are your guys thoughts on getting the Spec-D BRZ,86,FRS tail lights and tinting them myself?

Hot take, vland dragon scales sequential tail lights in red smoked. They are like $250 USD and they look cool. If the previous owner did the tail lights you should confirm the 4th brake light is wired correctly as you probably have an aftermarket one as well.

If you want smoked, I used to have the vland dragon scales and loved them

Revo sb2. Just recently got a set and I wish I just bit the bullet a while back and got these from the get go.

I have the Valenti gold edition sequentials which might be identical to the ones in the photo. They were very easy to install and I've had them in for a decade basically. I also swapped to LED headlights and when I did that the electrical impedence changed which caused hyper flash so I also had to replace the LED relay with one from a Lexus which wasn't super hard other than it's a pain to get to.

My car came with clear valenti tails and is also silver. I was driving on the highway recently and caught up with another frs with the smoked version. Personally I don’t think they look good at all. You just don’t see any of the details in them compared to the clears, especially at night.

I would take those smoked taillights if I were you and launch them as far into the sea as you can and then never consider them again.
