I personally love the TYC's as they are, with the redout overlay and with a full red overlay. I also love the 08 tails.

I too voted for the TYCs. Only because I'm a little biased because I have a set I painted red. :D

I just installed the Oznium Full Red TBL and now everything (TBL & TYCs) looks dead stock.

shadow12one 08-17-2007 09:38 PM

I think it will look good on an FM. His website is bluebatmobile.net

Now, I'm just being nick-picky here but the red overlay looks a tad darker than the OEM red on the TYC tails.
Again it's a minor thing but I'm anal like that. :P

Yes it is a slight bit darker because your putting a red semi-transparent overlay on an already colored, medium dark object. Where in the other red areas the plastic is already red.

To fix that if you REALLY want to, you can just get an extra overlay and cut it up to put over that red area to try to match it a bit or you could try to repaint the amber plastic. You could always just deal with a slight unnoticeable shade difference. I really dont think anyone will notice or even care that the upper red is a shade or 2 darker.

I like the 08's

abuzzl23pTC 08-18-2007 03:42 AM

definitely the leds...especially when they;re smoked

chyz-dad 08-18-2007 03:47 AM

I like the new tail lights on the 08 because i don't like the yellow on the TYC lights...

jaxtcracer 08-18-2007 03:49 AM

i like the 08s as well, now that i've seen them in person.. if anyone wants to trade their 08's for some redded out or regular 07's, shoot me a PM! (i have plans for the 08s to make them look..well..better!)

MrBurrito 08-18-2007 03:54 AM

I hated them at first too, but once I saw them in real life, I thought they looked a lot better. They look like ____ in pictures for some reason, haven't seen a pic yet that I like of them, but like I said, people really need to see them up close in person before they bash them, they might change their mind. I know I used to H8 on them...

tCtCtC 08-18-2007 05:10 AM

If you read my earlier post, I said I painted the entire TYCs red. :lalala:

I like the 08s because the match the headlights,if they had a black top like the headlights do instaed of the silver they would be better......... and it brings the car together........but I also like the fully red overlays on the TYCs.......thay look good like that.
