Not a fan of those tails. Your stockers look better IMO!
BTW, what kind of wheels are those man?

The little lip it has on the wheel is polished.

RE: Changing Si tail lights 99-00
Oh, either way, regardless of the fact that the 99-00 stock tails ROCK, the aftermarket tails you were looking at are HORRIBLE!!
I had them for 3 days and they began to fall apart. If you look at them closely, you can see a piece inside the housing that covers over then bulb (effectively hiding it from view). That piece is connected with hot glue and it will come off and bounce around.
Also, the aftermarket tails force you to lose taillight functionality. Your stock tail (looking at just one side) has sockets for 2 dual filament (running/brake) bulbs, 1 reverse bulb, and 1 blinker. These aftermarket have 2 red LED rings, that do not have dual filaments. So, really the only way to use the aftermarket tail is to have the outer LED ring as a blinker, and the socket within that ring for a dual filament brake light bulb. Then the inner LED ring for a running light, and the socket within that ring for the reverse light.
