I would want to keep the lenses on though to keep the, what I consider 'Iconic', supra look. But the wrapped light insides do look rather nice.

 

Yep knew I'd seen some somewhere, they look fetch!! (Sorry I'm watching a film where someone said "Fetch" when they saw something cool) :D

Now now, don't get your panties in a bunch. I'm a man. I googled it.

 

Well the girls in it are quite nice so never mind ;)

 

Im sure its from clueless too.. i refuse to google it though =)

 

Mate you've watched Clueless, your as bad as me. At least I could make up a good story as to why I'm watching Mean Girls (Girlfriend watching it) ;)

Facelifts for me too, they've got more of a quality/expensive look about them. Don't know if anyone's posted it already, but Carlo's rear lights on his TRD are stunning, nicest I've seen. I can't find the pic I was thinking about (it's not in his garage) but hopefully he'll see the topic and post it up.

With the carbon and LED's i agree. However stock facelifts look epic on a black supra

 

In your opinion ;)

 

Is that one carbon too? I couldn't tell.

 

1 bit of grey thrown in on the back of a black car to me looks silly.

Was that last picture a Puma Blue?

 

I agree with Scott, the grey for me just breaks up the look a bit too much - it does highlight them and they do stand out, but for the look I am going for they stand out a bit too much.

 

Definitely leaning towards either pre-facelift standard (60%) or facelift, with carbon wrap and the lenses (40%) both with the full LED conversion Heckler does.

thats why on my car, I have (suprise suprise) full LED lights in facelift cases - but with C-West covers on. Purley because I hate the way the LED's look. I just like the way LED's operate :D

Had a look through the garages and I can now see the point of painting the facelifts, they have a more modern design...

 

hope the owner doesn't mind....

Now to me it looks as if those lights were designed to fit a grey car. If they were black they would be perfect. The grey is just too random, there is nothing else on the car that follows suit, even the front headlights are a much darker bronze/grey colour.

 

 

Ignoring the spoiler I think the black on black looks FAR more fitting.

The best of the lot would be facelift 1.5s :D

Yeah, I had the Cwest covers (in fact I still do) but I just went with the tinting option to get a better fitment at the rear.

 

I would buy a set of facelifts, have the inards painted black and get the LED conversion done by yourself. I would then tint the lenses... job done :D

 

That's for a future paycheque though :D
