Interest: FC3S LED TAILS

So I had a good talk with the owner of Wise Square Japan, and basiclly I asked him about making some LED tail lights for the FC3S. I know that Sexy Style produces them for the FC but they cost around a grand! Looking at his pricing for such other lights as the S14 LED tail conversion with middle, and side peices your looking at around $360. Considering that the FC tail light WILL NOT require a middle peice, the price should be lower. Now I need some input as to what you guys think about this very possible product, and would you buy something like this for our cars.

Examples of the companys products

lol, I registered with this screen name about six years ago... that was way before Initial D blew up and everyone wanted to buy a corolla and start drifting, or went to a canyon road.

tail lights are one thing. A tv show full of the kind of cars I like is another

If you could make the orange lights red, and fill in the other two red circles more, it might look a little better.

The LED pattern should be cleaned up a bit too. Kind of like how newer cars have the LEDs laid out. Or they should use smaller LEDs that are closer together so it looks more solid.

circular pattern completely filled in as to negotiate between tail and brake lighting differences. Keep signals amber. More smoke on lenses like stock S5. And I will be in!

fill in the circles more and they look fine. I wouldn't buy one but I know of several people who might for the right price.

They're not going to be Street legal so expect to be pulled over a lot (and the last thing you want is to give the police a reason to search your car it's modified like the majority of us.)

I dread the increase of altezzas for our cars like when they civcs were at their peak.
