20782, taillight opinions...
Posted by thisismygs, Apr-25-02 01:28 AM
no altezza's, but i was thinking about changing my taillights when i do the body conversion. i'm looking to have a silver-and-black theme, with a black and silver interior, and want to get a carbon fiber hood soon. what taillights do you guys think would look go, clear taillights, smoked taillights, or just keep the stock ones? how bout the gts taillights covers?

i personally can't stand smoked lenses but that's just me. i like the way your taillights look now but some clears would be nice, esp. on silver. i've been wondering what tinted clears would look like. you know like alot of the Si's are doing lately with the bottom white strip on their taillights. you just buy some "nightshades" or testors tint spray at like a hobby shop and apply light coats until they are as dark as you want them. totally different look then smoked. i really like the look on their cars but it's hard to picture on ours because our taillights are so big. i don't know, just a suggestion. good luck though, i'm sure it'll look good whatever you choose.

go clear, it matches the silver the best.

clear = not legal = reason for cops to pull you over.
Why not keep the stock ones? Everyone feels like they need to have a different aftermarket part for every part on their cars. In the words of CHandler, "Why, WHy why , why. Everyone does tailight swaps, their is no style in it. I like seeing a clean body kit with expensive racing rims and being pleasantly suprised when they pass by and have stock exhaust and stock taillights. If my opinion means cow flap to you then might I suggest the red/orange tails. They still maintain the stock integrity but the subtle difference will only be noticable by eclipse owners and enthusiasts. Sorry for the ear full.

Sometimes people buy different taillights because they think they actually do look better, not just because it's somethin different.
