    Nice. Goes well with the red paint color. I've got some smoked ones on the way. Should look really good with the winter grey metallic paint. At first thought about doing red but just like the look of the all blacked out exterior so it went with the smoked tail lights.

    Blends in wonderfully with the Personas red paint.

    I like it.

    could u add some pics on how it lights up at night?

    im thinking about buying valenti`s for my prius but its three different version`s and i like them all lol, so i gotta pick a favorite.

    i love the way these ligths up at night, its the same LED`s and stuff as in the one u got just in a balck smoke cover instead of red.

    Not what I thought this would be -- but your red tail is still beautiful! (y)

    This came to mind first.

    I think red Valentis look great on black and gives a good contrast. Maybe @Gaspeed can chime in and add some photos. Smoked on black might be too much, but great if you’re going for the murdered-out look with black wheels.

    I personally love the red Valenti tails on a black Pri because of the contrast. It just looks so good in my opinion but if you're r going for the murdered out look, definitely go with the smoke.

    Red it is! lol, the black may be to black. I saw a prius on sale here in norway with the blacked out velanti`s. but he didnt really care about answering any querstions about the car or the lights lol. This is the car im talking about, but yea, as u said, it may be to black. [​IMG]












    The red looks great, im thinking about just finishing up my "lexus style" prius with red tails and the aimgan front bumper. So this with the red tails this would be the finished product. Just without the lowering springs/airbags. (just made a 20 second edit on the tails on this pic)

    BTW, how is the connectors on the back of the valentis? like... since the OEM tails got bulbs as reverse and blinkers but the valentis is all LED.

    @MagnusAG99

    That is ptetty much the same look I had. Red Valenti's, Aimgain G II M wheels, Aimgain front bumper version 4 and air suspension. My front Aimgain bumper was all black without the silver outline. The Valenti's connect the same way. You just need to switch over the tabs from the original tails. The lights work great and are brighter since they are all leds.

    thanks for the info, and yea.. that looks pretty damn great. I have yet to decide if i want the chrome or all black, i kinda want chrome to finish up the all Lexus look but yea... and i wont have air suspention (simply cause i cant afford it lol.

    and ahha i see, its just the one connector on the tail lights? like the 8 pin or whatever it is...

    Thanks for all the attached pics. My car is mostly black, not really on purpose trying for murdered out look. I do like the red tails...ala Euro cars. I like the looks of both smoke and reds...but I think smoke with black Prius might be more of pull me over than I would like. So, I might go with the reds.
    Thanks all!

    Never had an issue with the smoked Valentis here in NorCal.

    Recently I’ve upgraded to the red valentis about 4 months.
