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".

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.

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.

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.

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.

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'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.

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.
