    They look more like the Spec D Tuning smoked taillights. I see only three led bars, not four.
    I have the Valenti SB, and just love them...

    they look like OCKEVIN's taillights, the spec d smoked version, just not sure if it's 100% full leds like OCKEVIN's

    They're indeed 100% full LEDs like Kevin's but way too dark to be the smoked Spec-D version. It looks like someone tinted the smoked Spec-D with film to better match the dark tints on the car.

    sounds right. i remember talking to the guy at the socal meet. he said that he color matched paint his lower body molding to match the rims.

    when are you switching to red tails and the chrome look?

    I agree. The design is nearly the same...perhaps a different version? I can only see a difference on the right side in the horizontal bars...one has more than the other. The Spec D's seem to have a much lighter tint to them.

    No, it's just the way they're photographed. They're the same light smoke color in person. Kevin has the smoked Spec D V2. The V1 is half-LED (reverse and turn signals are not LEDs). If you want dark, get the Valenti SB (unless you want to go the trouble of tinting the Spec D to make it darker).

    thanks guys for the photos! I ordered the Spec D v2. From what I have seen, I prefer the Spec D as they do not appear as dark as the Valenti. Of course, photos can offset reality...so maybe I regret it. Also, the 3 stripe design I like better than the four stripe. The tail lights on this car are so large, they can draw too much attention to the eye if they are too aggressive (IMPO). Of course more noticeable on a white car. If the V2's are not dark enough...I will add a light tint to them. Let's see when I get them next week!

    Your smoked taillight is made by Revier, right? The black one shown here?

    alright, so I got the shaft. I was told these lights are in stock and I ordered them, but they are not. I am not at all happy (in this case with CarID.com). For those that bought the v2's...where did you get them from? Wondering how long I get to wait...
