Pink is right
Riciness is a matter of opinion, however the more people that share that opinion the more "ricey" something really is.
Why do I think the Lexus Grand Am Race Car is ricey for having the Altezzas on the back?
1) They're not even real lights, they're painted on!
2) Just because its a Toyota doesn't mean all parts (especially exterior) are swappable. You wouldn't put Nissan Micra, Sentra, or Altima Tail-lights on your 240 would you? Mish-mosh parts from different models can end up looking quite "ricey" and with few exceptions, e.g. factory wheels?, probably shouldn't be done in good taste. Putting Altezzas on this race car would be ricey enough because this thing has nothing in common with Altezzas/RS200/IS300 as it is running a V8... unless of course you count TTE's IS430... but then again these lights are PAINTED on *ack*

PS: Technically the "compound" style tail-light did originate from Toyota, but the first model with these lights was the Supra, and then the Harrier/RX300. The Altezza/IS300 wasn't released until some years later.
