Question Pls HELP choosing taillights!!!!!!!!!!!

So I have stock 8 tails right now and will trade them locally for JDM MR ones for $150 tomorrow.. And I keep looking at my stock tails and they kinda look good.. I know everyone hates on those cause they look like altezza's , but they kinda look clean at the same time. There's also my wheels that are black with a red lip and i'm not sure if a amber blinker looks good with them...

What do i do??!! Which looks better?

here's a pic of a car similar to mine i took from one of the members here ( i hope he doesnt mind that has JDM MR tails:


And here's mine with stock tails, the way it is now:

I think that the stockers kinda of take away from the car because they're so "shiny" if you will.... they're not subtle like the JDMs. Your car looks clean and I think the JDMs help keep that look. But really what it comes down to is which you prefer..... that's all that matters.

No i have regular fronts, which do have some amber on them, but not as much as JDM fronts. I will be looking to probably black them out to look similar to JDM ones..

Maybe i should get amber markers for front fender to help with the whole scheme..

Here are my headlights:

I would say 9 tails without the amber. Get the heads painted black, or if you got big money buy a set of 9 heads with no amber.

I think 9 tails are kinda bland.... Amber gives JDM ones character IMO...
I know VII would be sick on my car and hopefully i'll get them one day, but it's a tough find..
