Nope! Those tail lights are HOT! I plan on getting me some just as soon as I can afford them.

[joka1]

i say no....... oh ya i have them....... now i have the black ones also.... but i am going to tint them..........
i think they look good but once i got my c/f trunk they look really fake and dont match so that is why i have new ones now.........
now i am waiting for the flamers of anybody who changes their taillights.........

rice.

whats wrong with stock? they look so much better.

[JCell]

i don't like the stock, i thought nite shading them would do it..... but i still want more

[joka1]

i just dont like anything stock........

[txrxs]

like joka said, if you dont have any carbon fiber on your car they look good. But if you do, these look like asscrap.

[Protege52003]

i think they look nice

[P5MoJo]

i think they look rice

[1FASTMP5]

throw some APC stuff on your car at the same time....(hah)

[joka1]

now i am waiting for the flamers of anybody who changes their taillights.........

like i said i was waiting

[ProtegeES03]

I'm not against the idea of changing tail lights. I just think the options for our car (that 3 circle design) is ugly as hell, doesn't fit with the rest of the car at all.

I also don't understand the point of changing something just because its stock. Different story if you personally think it looks better.

[JCell]

they don't look THAT bad

i just hate the stock look

[vindication]

the only thing I dont like about them is the red on the outside. I have stockers tinted with niteshades. imho that is the best way to go.

[JCell]

that's what i have right now, but i like these better

[joka1]

i have the black ones tinted with nightshade for shows, i just dont like stock for some reason....too much red!

[JCell]

^^^ i agree, proteges r everywhere here, i just wanna be different

quick pic with the red corner niteshaded

[tunersteve]

have you seen the ones that look similar to jaguar taillights? I'm opting for those instead of the CF ones. Its more subtle, and definitely not ricey looking IMO.

I found them at street beat online for 149.95, but the site is down right now, maybe someone could find them and post a pic for me since im at school and this computer blows donkey dick.

[1FASTMP5]

do something custom then.... what about a dark tint?

[Snacks McGee]

Carbon tails are nice. Chrome tails are rice. (guitar)

[laracroft]

I like them. The only ones I dont like are the alteeza's of course. The ones with the 3 circles are called Euro style.

[JCell]

do something custom then.... what about a dark tint?


if u mean niteshades...been there, done dat, didn't like them

[DiS]

Bleh, Jersey_emt has them also....They are ok, Im not impressed by them....they look better in the picture than on the car.....

Do either night shading or get bluebatmobile's overlays like I did



but then again, its not up to us what you like, so go with what you want (thumb)

[Brian MP5T]

They could look good on the correct car...

[mp5jeff]

^^^ i agree, proteges r everywhere here, i just wanna be different

wanna be different? leave the outside stock, more people have changed stuff then leave her stock lol :D

[Demm]

i like those, that's why i got them for my car too :)

[wannabe]

the only thing I dont like about them is the red on the outside. I have stockers tinted with niteshades. imho that is the best way to go.

agreed. these arent horrible though...at least their not the chrome ones (which....i......used.....to....have....(smash) )

[JOS3]

throw some APC stuff on your car at the same time....(hah)

i believe those ARE apc

[Slider]

The short def. of "Rice" on a car is: any modification that is not designed to lighten the car or increase speed.

So, yea it is a cosmetic thing but it looks nice so who cares? Most show cars are rice these days, so what? Unless you are a hard core racer we are all a bit rice.

[1FASTMP5]

i believe those ARE apc


lol...(uhm)

[Captain KRM P5]

rice

[traitorhound]

he meant that those tail lights are actually made by apc

[mazdaspeedpower]

They are rice. But, being a japanese car(rice) it fine, rice on rice. Also, I think they look really good. I also wonder how good they would look with a light tint all around, and a slightly darker tint over the red. Well, I like theses tails, and I myself am thinking about them, but I dunno. money me not have much. I'd get em

[MSPRO]

Here is Nate0123's car from the last dyno meet ...I personally liked the other lights he had on it better, the all red altezzas, although they dont look bad

http://amykdean.com/albums/album08/P1010015.sized.jpg

These are the ones I prefer...This is atticus1398's car

[Mr. Win]

yea those above lights on the yellow are also on sp33d car and i just put a set on an orange msp... thier not bad subtle but diffrent.

[MIA protege]

i owned the euro style tail lights and i liked them but they get old after a while. u get tired of seeing these ugly ass cars with them on and u just shake ur head everytime. euro tail lights can be done right but eventually i think they will get old. stock looks much better and cleaner

[vindication]

what taillight are those on atticus' car?

[mauricec00]

taillights are not right but the rest of the car is cool

[illogik]

what taillight are those on atticus' car?

Those are Next Gen Eurotails by APC (boom02) ...

But they are subtle, have a nice "sunburst" pattern, and are brighter than stock - haven't got sick of them yet!

[hayula]

you may be dissappointed with the quality. i got those a while back they look like crap up close

[nguyen95465]

i just seen a pair of led lights for an accord in a magazine. they look good like the infinity ones. is there anyone that sells these or can fabricate them? i think they look better than any altezzas. although they cost a bit more. i couldnt upload a pic but here they are [url]http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7954991350&category=33716[url]

[Witchdoktor]

the only thing I dont like about them is the red on the outside.

^ exactly! the red reflector clashes with the tails and the color of the car. Another forum member baked mine open and resealed them with a clear set. The first batch of clear tails APC made were without the reflector but by the time they made the carbon fiber ones they added the red reflector. Probably that half a million dollar fine from the transportation dept. had something to do with that.

[Witchdoktor]

quick pic with the red corner niteshaded

an improvement but still doesn't blend well IMO. I tried painting the reflector area the color of the car which was an improvement but still didn't cut it.

[nate0123]

yea I'm going back to stock, I had high hopes for the CF ones but they just haven't done it for me

I may get those overlays that DiS has

and replace that stock wing with one of the HUGE aluminum ones that give you 50 hp, and some type-r stickers, and that shiny chrome tint, and just cut the springs, you dont need *real* ones and change all the badges to say Honda and replace ALL the bulbs on the car with blue ones and put like 8 tubes in the trunk for your "system" and like 15 neons inside the car, and some under the car, and and and....(ricer)
