Why do so many people who own a 06/07 WRX want to swap taillights with 04/05 model WRX's???

Is is purely for looks or is there some sort of benefit to the swap??

 

maybe they like the older tail lights betta...i like both so don't matter 2 me

 

just a cosmetic mod, theres no advantage.

 

I hated the full chrome of the 07s. Made me feel like I had a riced out civic again.

 

I dunno. I have a wagon so i never looked into it but that is a good question. I like my lights on my wag though. Maybe they are the same but they look different shape.

 

I LOVE the look of the 04-05 tails especially with the JDM mod... it is purely for looks... I am just bummed because the tails in question are for sedan and I am a wagon guy...

 

I'm pretty much anti-chrome, just screams "look at me, I'm ghey!".

 

^ LOL!

I personally do not like the chrome myself. 04-05 lights are so much better imo.

 

Looks. The 06/07 tails look like cheap eBay altezzas

 

easy there killer ...the 06s are pretty clean IMO, the 07s however are a bit too much late90s civic.

 

this made me laugh really loud at work, got in trouble but made my day. Its pretty much ppl who think that the crome is to rice. I have seen some ppl do red overlays but it doesnt look as good as the oem 04-05's Plus that jdm mod looks pretty damn sweet. Wish wagons could do it.

check out the red overlays for the brake portion for the new hatches (08-09). so sex

 

04/05 = sexy

06/07 = not sexy

i still have 06 tails on my 06 wrx
