Am I the only one who doesn't like the GE JDM tails?

I just don't like them. Is there anyone else who's with me? It seems like most everyone on here is looking to get a pair. Now, I wouldn't mind the LED tails, but just not a fan of the JDM's!

Well there are a few types of JDM Tails. I guess you are referring to the JDM Base tails? I love those...and don't care for the LED JDM's. I just think it is too much chrome.

i'd prefer mine but people in my country are going after the clear LED ones for a different look since what we have are Thailand-based tails (red one).

Yea, those are the ones I like.

I just can't stand the chrome half/half--led or no led...I just don't like it.

Our opinion surely differs. But that's what makes the world go round, eh?

Ahh gotcha. Yea, I dunno--I like them. I am not a fan of chrome, so the less I have on my car, the better. That's why I like the base tails.

JDM all day

I agree about the chrome, the less the better (if I could make it so just the lip on the rims was chrome, I would). Thats why I'm tryin to get my hands on the JDM tails and the base black housing headlights.

different strokes for different folks.. I like my RS replica tails, but I can appreciate how different the base jdms look from the usdm stocks.

I like the JDM base tails on TW, but I have yet to see them on any other color. Likewise, I think the chrome looks bad on TW, but decent on darker colors.

I wouldn't order the Ebay ones...you can get the real ones cheaper.

You can order them from Danny.pal.99 I think is his name on here...
or there is a new guy now DFWMechanic or something saying he can get them for around 100 bucks.

The USDM and RS tails are ugly. I hate the pink reflector on the USDM and the LED's on the RS tails are also pinkish. Plus I hate clear lights. Although I am biased.
