you could spend the money on better things in my opinion, but if you have your heart set on tail lights, then I would definitely say black ones

No No No, they all got it all wrong.

What EVERY car needs as a first mod? A Flux capacitor!

Nah but really, its your car, do what you like and what loooks good to you.

Your gonna get people who say it could be better spent in performance (My view)

Or Rims/body/interior mods.(I nice set of rims can NEVER steer you wrong- I'm not into much other body mods.)

It all depends on what YOU like, afterall it is your car, have fun with it.

Just if it starts to look like rice, set it ablaze

personally i think carbon lights are garbage. unles its REAL carbon fiber, i would feel like a poser/ricer for having it. because its just like faking it you know. i would either stay stock or go black. . . depends on your car color and style. . . go for what YOU want though. . . its all yours and you never know, you could do something completely illogical and make it work,. thats the beauty of individuality

no to carbon lights. Looks tacky.
same with chrome, looks too pimpish. Its not an escalade. lol

i would say go with black. I've had my eye on this style for a while. Hoping someone will pick some up for me for christmas.

Why would you get real CF tails? Tail lights are dirty light to begin with.

Rims sure make a difference on how your car looks. You could drive by some chicks and they'd be like "who is that?!" LOL. Jk I'd get black tail lights. You could read the 'how to's' and learn to do it yourself. Save you some cash. If you mess up go to a salvage place.
