Aftermarket Tail lights anyone?
 

Hey Guys,
Ive got an '85 GS with some torn up tail lights that need to be replaced. I thought about repairing them or just buying some new stock ones. For the price of a set of new tail lights lenses i would rather drop that money into some after market pieces.

Has anyone on here heard of any companies that offers them. I was even thinking about buying some Altezza style tail lenses but ive had no luck finding some. If anyone can help me that would be great.
Thanks,
Your Favortie Noobie "Gary".

any pics of that red FB in ur avatar which i presume is ur car?

Man i wish that car was mine. My red FB is not quite that pretty. That car is actually Ray Lochheed?'s old race car. It belongs to www.SRMotorsports.com My car is in the process of being built into a full drag car. Ill post some pics when i get some more work done on it. Right now ive got it stripped down to the frame. Loooong project.

there are absolutley no aftermarket taillights for our cars and they are about 200 each from mazdatrix

but.... ive got a perfect set of stockers for sale.. $60 shipped if interested, pm me

sorry to jack but...

^^ this make no sence at all :D


EDIT:
and no, I dont know of any aftermarket tail lights, although you can do the 'circular mod' to the stockers and they look pretty schweet

yeah jorx81 was making those

I've heard of removing the film on the inside of the plastic to make them clear...anybody else heard of this?

Except for the dumb bell effect.

If Im not mistaken, that car was owned by my old friend, Allan Santos. A great builder in Socal. Then he sold it to Lockheed years ago.

PM Jorx81@aol.com Have him make you some, he does a good job.

I guess we are ignoring the "altezza" part of his post....

Thanks for the info guys.
Does anyone have some pics of those modded stockers that Jorx81 makes?
I might just have him make me some.
Thanks again,
Gary


Edit: I know the altezza look is ricer but it would def be original. Maybe if they made them with a carbon fiber look that would be kinda sweet.

Maybe you can mold S5 lights onto the FB. That would look pretty badass!

<--- how bout clears like i have on my car? i could make you a set...for a price...

i've got a pretty good mod for my tail lights and it's free. Too bad the mod wasn't by my choice. i was driving down the road and both the lenses fell off. i don't want to pay the money for new ones, and it doesn't look too bad.

Really? Start on this project ASAP and post the pix :D

if your looking for aftermarket tail lights you'll basically have to custom in any lights that you want...either that or its stock tinted lenses...or clear lenses

I can make clears or the s5 look, but I don't think I have any cores right now.

I've tried to re-attach the lenses on one of my 7s twice- they simply fell off after a time. Found the whole unit set at a junk yard that is still holding up well. Trust me, I tried every glue.

you have to use epoxy liberally

I found a website a while back that did the step by step breakdown of the clear tail lights,

Also there's a guy on cardomain that did the fabbing of Integra alteezas into his 83' looked good.

the best mod you can do to your lights is by using high intensity bulbs, or LED bulbs.

i meant to say, brand new stock replacements from mazdatrix, my bad

soulja,

For the rear end? What do you recommend, where can I get them?

I may just have to custom make some of my own I guess. I like the idea about clearing the lenses. Ill give it a try and see what happens. Ill keep everyone posted.
If anyone comes across something nice PM me and ill be on it.
Thanks,
Gary
