if you like it, sure why not. it would make your car pretty unique over there. keep in mind though the 2009 models are coming out in a few months that may give you more options.

hmodel88 · 04-26-2008, 02:27 PM

honestly its up to you....
i like both but seeing as im from the US
id prbly go for ur lights since its something diff then what
we have over here. If you do end up going for the USDM
it'll def make ur car stand out for the same reason i said.

do it.....trade them out with someone.....but it will be more than just the taillights you will have to trade or replace

vingavina · 04-26-2008, 02:44 PM

ya it looks like you would have to swap trunks and maybe that's it.
if not then fenders too

I think the JDM looks so much nicer than the USDM tail lights. Probably because we've been seeing them here for 3 model years now, but man the JDM tails look sweet!!! I wouldn't change a thing.

Your license plate might not fit on a USDM trunk.

***0720Steve*** · 04-26-2008, 03:03 PM

haha, good call

Why the F_ck are you asking us for permission. You already said you liked them better so do it already. Do things for yourself, not for our enjoyment.
