Too much money and it doesn't even look good Imo.

And those tails look like an F430.

The kit may not be for everyone...but when I get the money, I'm gonna rock that **** hard. I believe it would look most excellent in Brilliant Black.

i really like the taillights EXCEPT that they are not flush with the body of the car... instead they bulge out as if it was a taillight cover instead. ugh, that gives it a slight "ebay" aftermarket feel instead of a nice oem update. the taillights themselves are awesome though, as well as the builtin ducktail wing.

I don't mind the taillights asthetically, except that the taillights, to me, are one of THE most distinctive elements of the car's original design, so I just couldn't bring myself to do anything to them other than internal LED lighting.

when you think about it, its not TOO bad for a genuine RE-A part that gives you new brighter lighting, as well as a new spoiler all in one.

how much would it take to build a set of like-new high quality led OEM-housing tail lights... im guessing $400ish? or more? not to mention hassle/labor building them.
a nice ducktail molded spoiler is probably another $300-400ish right?

RE Amemiya AAAALLL THE WAAAAY!!! I Really Love this Tuning Shop.

The Tail Lights are beautiful, LEDs are now leading the market and they're more brighter and sexier compared to the normal bulbs.

As for the Bodykit, great as always.

heres some pics from re-extreme link to 4 cars fitted with the tail lights. while one of them is a dark plum color, in another shot it gives the idea that it is in Brilliant Black. they look every bit as amazing as you'd imagine they would on BB!

Yeah, I'm digging on these more and more myself. I was skeptical at first about the add-on look like it is some kind of cover. However, having a BB myself I think these lights with the duckbill tail combination would suit just perfect. The cars in the picture seem a tad over aggressive but even still it gives a good idea of what you could expect. Also, I would rather see a larger more clear image to further judge.

Anyone order anything from RE-Amemiya recently? I e-mail Inukai several times already, but still haven't receive any reply at all. Inukai usually respond in 1-2 days, but its been one month now, and I still haven't receive any replies. Inukai no longer works for RE-Amemiya? Any idea?

I spoke with him a while back and found this address works best (as opposed to his Amemmiya one):
sakae_inukai@yahoo.co.jp

It did take me forever to get a response. Ultimately I ended up ordering through Omar Khan of Dragon Motorsports. His user name on the board is omes916 and his website is listed as an authorized stateside Amemiya rep. Amemiya has been very slow to respond over the holidays, but I am hopefull to have a bumper in the next month or so that nobody else has

Looks like knockoff Elise or 360 tails... not horrible but still somewhat, meh . The back looks too bugeye'd with them. The FD is a smooth, curvy, flowing car (unlike the elise) and I think the tails just look out of place to some extent. Too harsh or something

I'm along that same line of thinking about making an FD look like something else. The car looks gorgeous as is, I'm not really a fan of the look of this kit and it really doesn't exude quality aesthetically for something costing that much Imo.

Their other kit though looks really great.

I like it, the way it sits very marginally reminds me of the f430 tail lights

Ya, I ended up ordering via Omar as well. (Been trying to contact Inukai since October, but have not receive any reply from him, so I ended up order via Omar.)

Maybe I will try his other yahoo e-mail, to see if I have more luck as well. Thx for the heads up.

i dunno , i think it should have like a smooth cover or something to make it look flush ,it looks ok ......but ......thats it ...ok....not like woooow i NEED those
i remember back in the day way when i saw the sleek light kit (headlights) , it was a "i NEED to have those " moment
but this is .......meh

and i know taste is subjective but that body kit looks ugly as ****
to ME a body kit should compliment the lines of a car , not change them to the point the car is not recognizable

but thats just me maybe
