Cool 2009 Tails on my 2012

For a while now I have been wanting to change my all red tails to the silver 2009-2011 tails. Thanks to DiddyNYC this was made possible.

Here are the pictures.















This is how it use to look.



Very bland.

I'm surprised, when I initially read you switched I thought to myself that you had gotten a shitty deal; but the switch looks better on both your cars!

The silver makes everything pop. I use to have the grey one but It was so hard to notice the little things on it.

Looks good, I definitely like the 09-11 tail lights better than the all red 12- tail lights

Me too. I think it works better for the dark color cars.

I think that they should have made the silver tails for the SH-AWD and left the solid red tails for the FWD models.

You obviously already know this, but that looks quite nice. The fact that your car is silver makes it work. Good call Mr. Skytech

Looking good bro! Capture some quality photos on a sunny day to really emerge the beauty of the conversion. I've got to take better shots of mines, but too busy with work to do so.

Thank you all. It makes the car that much more aggressive looking.

I swap the rims too. I still have the original rims that came with the car as my winter set.

Very nice! I always thought that the 09-11 tail lights were better. These look very elegant with your silver colour! What a classy ride.
