Not too sure what I think yet, however I wonder how just a black set would look (on any color car)

With the Mach style cover between the left/right lights, I suppose the black ones would accent the complete rear blackout process.

By themselves, without the senter blackout piece, I'd pass though.

Painted to match body color = rice.
Painted black = might look pretty good.

Indeed. The black ones are the way to go. They might look even better with a 2013 blackout panel between them...

I saw those too and I'm not sure what I think of them. I keep checking the page because I'm hoping others will buy them and post customer photos so I can get a better view of them on a car.

i just ordered a set of matte black for my cali sp. not sure when ill get them or when i put them on the car but i will def try and get some picts unless someone else gets to it first.... i think with the matte black panel on the CS the matte covers will blend in. the gloss black might not have worked as well. stay tuned..

Agreed. Probably look best on a black car. Still might look rice on a lighter colored car.

I think it looks good on the black car and would probably look alright on a colored car if it had the black decklid panel and painted to match the decklid panel. I don't think it's ricey. Now if they were Carbon Fiber, that would be a different story.
