I guess to me it would depend on the color of your car. Is it dark? I guess I would say if you think that your car would look good with black out covers for your headlights like from GTS then it would look good. But if you have a light colored car I say go for the JDM's. They aren't really that much different, but they are different enough. Also you gotta take in mind if it's really worth the money to get them imported. But they will look good on any car regardless of color unlike the black outs. By the way where did you find JDM stuff?

sup BEAST, i have a 95 S, it was NYC Trini's car, i bought it from him with a JDM front end conversion and such, there is a place in australia where he got everything from, however i saw a place in the phillipeans in a sportscompactcar magazine and i emailed them and they said they willing to ship since they have buyers in california and florida, so they said they will ship to NY no problem, so i have to get pricing and i'll get back to you guys maybe we can get a GB going

I used the nightshade on my tails and it's still holding up fine even after 8 months and a snowy winter.
Save some money for performance mods...the jdm tails don't look that much drastically different then the U.S. ones.

if you are good with plexiglass, you can make some custom covers. take the plexglass and rough cut it. then heat it up and get it soft. then just mold them onto ur tails. this could take a couple times of heating up. i use a camping stove that i have right outside of the garage. once you have made it to form, trim it down and polish the ends. then just spray nightshades on the tails and secure the covers to the tails with some thin double sided tape

regular tint would just crese or be a bitch to put on...

These?

Those are alright I guess, just look like my 98 tails with that trunk bar thingy.
I think you have more possibility for creativity with Nightshades or even vinyl sheets..
