Can’t decide between the Kouki ones and these. [http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7947812281&category=33716](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7947812281&category=33716) What is the average cost for each kind? Thanks, -Foz ---

I think those look pretty good. Plus everyone has kouki tails, so they are getting kind of played out… ---

well then call me a ricer, I dont really care what you think all i asked for was average prices for each. p.s. It’s not like they are going on a dull stock body 240, then yes they would look incredibly rice, but the car is freshly painted with a bodykit so I think otherwise. ---

Good for you. I get flack for wanting to put an american aluminum V8 into my S13, but it’s not about what other ppl like/dislike, it’s what -you- like. With the right car, I think they could look really good. Unfortunately, I don’t know the pricing. Best of luck! ---

It’s right there on the damn ebay page… $250 for the ricer tails vs ~4-6 for new koukis. ---

It’s not like they are going on a dull stock body 240, then yes they would look incredibly rice, but the car is freshly painted with a bodykit so I think otherwise. I say; do a DIY job. Some people i know (who have a combined IQ of 80, so anyone can do it) would take apart their old tails, and just get a translucent vynly/material to match the cars colour… so they`d tint their tail lenses the colour of their car. I`ll never EVER spend money on after market tails…but I would considder a DIY jobby…Not to mention the clean factor on that would be sick. ---

get the ones you like best. bottom line is whether at the end of the day you’ll be happy or not. not what ppl you’ve never met in person think. they are actually really nice, and i agree with andrew, koukis are played out. ---

Go for whatever your heart desires. IMHO, these lights look pretty good, and I would consider putting them on my car as well. Who cares what other ppl on this board say. It’s your car, and your the one who’s gonna be stuck with it in the end. ---

I like the kouki’s more, but whatever floats your boat. Keep in mind though…When I bought my kouki’s the came with a new underpeice (to replace the stock one) as the lights are a slightly different shape. Those lights, I’ve heard, also need the underpanel but its not included in the price…and I don’t think that underpanel is easy to come by at all?
