I like the reverse lights. They look like Whelen or Code 3.

How did you mount them?

Sharp looking car!
When it's unpainted it looks like there is a part missing or something. Just doesn't look right..

Me personally, the reason I don't like the TS rear end is because with the lines for the oval, third brake light, spoiler, taillights, and license plate all crammed together it looks very cluttered, with an empty lower half or the fascia. Like it was designed very hastily. And I really dislike the black because it really sets off all the clutter, now you have all the components plus color contrast. Very hard on the eyes and does not look good at all imo.

I could understand that. I considered going with the tigershark rear (black car) with the oval given a carbon fiber pattern. Would distinguish the oval quite well but wouldn't define the clutter you speak of.

I disagree. I think when they are painted they look like crap. I'm not a huge fan of the TS rear anyway,but with the black oval

Yes. I have thin spoke for it waiting for these tires to wear out to change over.
