I like them on lighter color cars, but not on the Sparkling Graphite. Your photos make it very clear which looks better!

i like them. i'm waiting it out to see if it gets a bit cheaper, or if there's a nice LED option (which will probably be the case since FK is working on them).

anyway, after i saw this pic, i really liked them:

Man, I say go for it. I've noticed that there is one key element that subliminally alters peoples opinions of it. In a pic where the car has no spoiler and just the blacklines, people seem to say "I don't know...not sure". But if the same exact car has BOTH the spoiler (OEM) and the blacklines, other posters seem to comment on how nice it looks and congratulate the owner.

I say get both. And if you want to complete the look, get 19s like longtran's Breyton Magics (i think that's what the are). His car looks great, IMO.

I think Blackline Taillights should come standard on Sparkling Graphite and black cars.

the pic the OP posted is a pic with flash on. It looks UGLY when you take a pic of the blackline light with the flash on.
I first thought I'd never get one until I saw it myself.
