FTO AUSTRALIA

Yeah i agree totally with dstocks no way in hell id pay 1K for tail lights just paint your factory ones you could get exactly the same look for $25 then buy a 2 din dvd player for $800 they are awesome and well worth the money and then still got left over money for some petrol and beer (not that you would drink then drive)

hi kellie. am just wondering who u are getting these from in the UK? If its a business - all cool... but if its off a member from FTOOC ill be thinking twice about purchasing em. Memebers here will be able to support y...

the ones u posted there are rather similar to the ones that this dude made... just be cautious with whom you are dealing with... just my 2cents.

Ummm..........where are the reversing lights?

Would they be legal if you don't have reverse lights? I wouldn't know.....

they r in the centre of the ring light (first light in from the centre of the car out wards). No they wouldnt be illegal but you would need to place some reversing lights some where else if they didnt have them

Am I the only one thinking this.. It wouldn't be a smart idea to paint the CF bit.

and as for opinion on the lights - you're obviously interested in them and like them, so go for it.
Personally I don't see them suiting a white FTO but that's my opinion and everybody has different tastes.
And it's something different, which is what makes aftermarket parts appealing - to stand out.

Overall I agree with the comment about being careful of who you buy them from, especially since it's from the UK you can't do anything at all and have to accept the loss if something is wrong with the lights, apart from that... if you like it and have the money which you obviously do, there's nothing stopping you from getting them, so go for it and post pics once you have them on.

Yes you are wats the point in paying a ythousand dollars for tail lights if your just going to paint them you might as well just paint the originals

lol dude dont u mean "No you're not the only one thinking that" since your agreeing with me haha

but yea i don't think it'll look good if u paint over it but for the most part.. it's CF!

Yip i sure do my bad lol

I have already paid the money and the lights are on the way, ill post the pic of my car after putting them on.

painting CF is ok plenty of people have painted CF bonnets

yeah we know it can be done me and sublome are just saying its stupid to 1k on cf lights and then paint them might as well just paint the originals

They dont look anything like originals! even if you leave the CF part out.

no but u can paint the originals too look similar for about 1% of the cost

yeah i saw that forum about painting tail lights, they look good, but i still think these ones will look hot, newho i dont think 1k is much.

yeah not as nice as yours but a hell of a lot cheaper lol

to be honest i like them, something different ... but def not for that price
