Check my sig for the link, but we're having a group buy for smoked taillight covers, and I was wondering if it's even worth doing a set for the pre-89. No offense guys. I love :love: the pre-89 front, but the tails are horrendous.

So I wonder, if you have the pre-89 tails, why?

i like my pre 89 tails just fine. i like the 89+ too but not enough to swap mine out. i'd buy some smoked covers if the price wasnt that bad

I almost switched back to pre-89 tails after reading the Cartech supra article...they look so damn good with the Kaminari body kit.

Then I dug up and old picture of my car, and decided against it...

Here's my car before and after taillight swap:

I have bought a set of 89 3 peice taillights a few years ago and after I installed them they just did not look good on the car and to me they seem pretty cheap but that is just me. I know they look nice though with the 3 peice spoiler. Here is a quote from someone on Supraforums but like he said it is all with in personal taste.

"The pre-89 front bumper looks more aggressive, the tail lights look more like a machine than a luxury liner, and the spoiler looks more functional than aesthetic, imho, and all those things are exactly the way I want it. I'm very happy.

But you cant say which ones are better, its all personal taste. I'm just glad I got the one I ended up liking the most."

I think the pre-89's are killing the look of my car from the back. IMO the 89+ tails make the rear end look wider and lower. I also want to have matching trim all around.

^Maybe that's exactly it.
89+ look a lot better on Tiffany, but I just can't imagine some looking good on my burgundy.
Or maybe it's in the US/Euro plate style...
