What tails do you like the best.

Recently at the 7 meet in Lansing...I heard someone say that they hated the S5 tails, so I was wondering what the rest of you thought of the 2nd gen tails. I personally like the S5 tails.

You sure he wasn't talking about Audi S4's?? Because Rx-7 S4 tails can't compare to S5's...

i do like the S5 lights more than the plain S4 lights. but that guy with the white FC that did his own custom lense stuff, that makes me reconsider my standpoint. those S4 tails on his car look sweet

I like them both.. But I chose S5s

When seen together, the S5s look more modern

it seems like the only people that like s4 are the people that own s4s. I think the s4 looks OK but day or night the s5 owns it.

S4 I'll never defect and add the S5s. Whenever I see them I'm reminded of the Thunderbird tails

You guys crack me up! Who gives a **** if some Thunderbirds had lights that were REMOTELY similar???
S5 lights are much more modern and cleaner than the S4's.
