Check out these tail lights! SEMA

A buddy of mine is at SEMA and sent me a picture from the Nitto booth. I would love to see them illuminated!

Looks like they were inspired by the Lamborghini Huracan tail lights:

I guess they are better than the euro style taillights...but Imo the later spec round lights are still the nicest

I wonder how these look at night

Hey thanks for the other pictures. I still wish that you couldn't see the individual LEDs. I was hoping for the light to appear uniform more like the lambo lights. The spoiler, I think it looks good on that car too... probably wouldn't have it on mine tho

Eh... I'm not such a fan, they remind me of the Advanced Auto supplied euro civic tail light craze. Maybe I'm just getting out of touch in my (slowly advancing) old age

I agree that the 99 spec tail lights look best.

That center tail light is AWFUL! Its like all the new dodges, it would look 20x better if the LED's were in the side lamps only and not all the way across.

I know "EVERYTHING ROCKET BUNNY!!" is the trend, but that kit is a total disaster. The spiderman taillights are okay I guess.

Lots of lines, textures and patterns or reminds of an action hero's armor and that's not really a good thing.

I still haven't seen anything better than the 99s

Agreed. Rocket Bunny looks good on other types of cars, especially the ones with angular lines. Now given the FD is not really an angular car... it looks like ****.

If the general essence of rocket bunny is simply low and wide body I think the FD does that pretty well

However this look may help big ugly angular cars more LOL

I just left the show and took a closer pic. I think they look really good up close. If the lights where diffused, I would buy these.

Oh yea, there were 4 fd's with this exact same body kit. Not sure what happened to originality??

Truth.

There was one black (maybe grey metallic?) FD sitting on a rack inside the expo, no rocket bunny kit surprise surprise, although it had a LS swap.

Lol

Rocket Bunny is this new-ish line of really wide body kits of unusual/different design aspects.

They've become very "popular" in the last year or so...

Some poeple can't digest them and some love em.
