...I don't think this has ever come up but I'm sure someone will point me to the search function. Either way, awhile ago I was sitting in traffic behind a Corvette and ever since the idea of the Vette style tail lights became more and more apealling. Not really an exact replica...but somewhat similar. Has anyone tried to fabricate anything like this?

 

If you are talking about round style taillights then yes, I have done so. But mine are more replicated after the S5 and 99 Spec spec taillights.

 

Nope. It would look like ****.

I'm doing smooth lens covers, that's about it.

 

You bastard!! I was just thinking of doing that today with a matching smooth center plate. LOL Well you can make them and save me the work LOL

 

i like the S5 lights, im glad i seen these pics cause i was starting to wonder cause i want to eventually find a s5

 

Yep, that's exactly what I'm doing.

 

Hell, that does look kinda cool. To me at least. The way I saw it in my mind the lenses looked like they were kinda set into the body. That's not the best description but I can't find another way to word it. Really just like a Corvette, that's why I was worried about it looking too similar.

 

How about taking the above designs another step and turn the circles into rotors?

 

The thought actually crossed my mind but I thought it would be kinda cheesy...pretty creative though.

 

How about the tails from an RX4? I've had that thought cross my mind quite a few times.

 

I managed to scrounge up some pics of what I think you're talking about. Not really to my taste but to each his own

 

My buddies wife has old school RX tailights on her Miata.I think it looks awesome,very in tune with the classic roadster theme of the Miata.Not really my taste with the sleeker more exotic body of the RX-7.

Sounds good Steve but the link doesn't work LOL

 

....... .............. .................omg... poor FB, its tryin sooo hard to be a vette and just cant do it. and is that a rabbit ear antenna on the white one

 

Works for me.....and my computor is a pile of crap!

 

Well it works now but said it couldn't find it last night. That does look pretty good though

 

Nah, the RX 4 tails I'm thinking of have a strange 'rounded square' look. Aside from FB tails (some of my favorite style taillights, the Accord hatch also has similar) they're the sexiest taillights ever. I guess the C4 'Vette has okay tails too. I just HATE the round circle taillights. So damned tacky.

My FB has the inner lense removed, and I put red LED bulbs to replace the white bulbs, and stuck with the stock 'smoke' of the outside lenses. Sexy *** tails.

 

^^Would like to see some pics of your lights

 

666 how did you do yuor tailights, I really dig those

 

Custom fabricated. I'm looking into better materials so I can produce them for anyone who would like them

 

search around abit you might find something!

 

Don't change your taillights, i think the stock taillights are the best. I love them.
