I don't like the flat black against the gloss black. If it was painted instead of flat I think it would tons better. I agree with above - they're not horrible but I wouldn't put them on mine.

I'm actually doing a set of those for my car (with some mods of my own to them).

Like a lot of body parts, fitment is key with these. Compare this car (not mine) to the first one posted, panel gaps are tight, everything is aligned well, and it looks a couple hundred percent better (though the Cervinis spoiler is too much for my tastes):

I have to agree that fitment makes a world of difference. The terrible fitment on that one car made the lights look cheap. Still not my cup of tea but I hope it looks sick when you're done with it!

Not my taste at all. IMO, it actually detracts from the over all smooth look of the stock lights.

If it deleted the FAUX gas cap, I would be all over that.

I personally don't care for them but that doesnt matter. As long as the guy selling it is happy.

Local guy has them on his S197 and they really make the rear end look terrible. I don't see how anyone in their right mind would want a set of them, you are just making your car look worse.
