Dude, different doesnt always mean better. I would rather have a 100% bone stock TL than a TL with stickers covering 1/2 of its taillight.
Basically this mod is a mod people do that dont want to spend (or dont have) the money to do real mods.
I have seen much worse on this site dont get me wrong, but I say peel them things off and get a pair of Type S taillights. Sure, some people on the forums have those, but they sure look good!!

I'm not a fan of it man, but it's whatever you like. You have to realize that not everybody is going to be a fan of what you do to your car. People laughed how I had 20s and no drop and the tint on my headlights blah blah. It happens. Everybody has their own tastes and they are entitled to their own opinion, especially when you post pics and want people to say what they think about it.

Next time somebody bashes your car, just say this: "Thanks for your opinion ". And there will be no hard feelings or attitudes towards each other. No not everybody says simply "I don't like it", some say "ew" or "yuck", but it's whatever. Dude it's your car. Do whatever makes you happy. If you like it, you don't need anybody elses opinion

My personal opinion, the line of the eyebrow, does not flow with the natural line of the lights. Now I would not get these to begin with, but if I was to get some, they would have to flow with the lines of the car. And for some reason, these are just off.

Like I said earlier...if the lines inside the taillight were at the same angle as the eyebrows, Im sure it would look better.

i actually think it flows pretty well, makes it look like a 5 series IMO. Is it something everyone will like, no. But I think it actually looks pretty good from the pics! props for being creative!

If you like it, then thats all that counts....
But dont get femalish and start to diss on other mods that you don't like, i.e. roof spoiler & painted eng. covers...
I've had ppl that don't like my yellow headlights all the time, but i don't go around dissing other ppl's mods to make my self feel better.
i've come to realize that forums are the way they are and its prob not gonna change....thats why i now only post to selective threads.

BUT ur rear eyebrows are "1 of a Kind"....(Inside joke)...lol

looks interesting IMO...
I was wondering if maybe you could take a pic of it from farther away...It probably looks good if you're not staring at just one of them.

I don't like it... and you can't take that away from me.

Here's the constructive part: If you must do this, how about reducing the angle of the cutoff a bit to show more of the light?

I always find quotes like this funny because I never see a car like mine on the road. Yes my aspec kit,type-s lights, etc. etc. may be played out here on a internet forum but definitely not out in the real world where 9 out of 10 TL's look nothing like my car, especially a Base (and I live in socal too!). I don't think people are hating, it just, why mess with perfection?

...not a fan of this mod myself, but obviously you like it, which is the only damn thing that matters.

As far as constructive critisism (somewhat redundant)....
- too sharp an angle (conflicts w/ the vehicle's lines)
- too sharp a contrast (no transition between limo-black vinyl and taillight, esp up close).

I love how the Internet is the only place in the world (possibly also rap music, unclear) where simply not liking something makes you a "hater".

Not feeling someone's wheel choice? Hater.
A roof spoiler and window visors aren't really your cup of tea? Hater.
Someone paints flourescent flowers all over their Kia and drives around playing "Who let the dogs out?" and you think it's stupid? That's right, you're a hater.

Not everyone likes everything, and by posting your car online, you maybe opening yourself up to comments that AREN'T 100% POSITIVE! People are different, tastes are different, and if you get butt-hurt because some people online don't like your mod, you probably don't have thick enough skin to be posting online in the first place.

If your post was deleted, consider yourself warned. I've previously asked that you all keep this thread civil in not so many words. OP- by responding to others, your just as guilty.

Any more bs in here and bans will be handed out.

You have a point, but there is a civil way to critique. Some people on here can be straight jackasses when they critisize.

How about the A-Spec Suspension? It lowers it only a tad, leaving you worryfree when driving, while making your rimmed up car look better since it helps minimize the wheel well gap...just a thought.
