Not to be a gang-banger here, but coldy13's got a point claytonjh1223. People will take your posts seriously if you put some effort into your grammer and punctuation.

you guys have no idea how different iotus's taillights look in real life.... they look absolutley beautiful

they are perfect on his car..... hes got the arctic blue paint, clear front and side turn signals and the clear taillights...

it all goes good together because the tail's look iced over and looking at his car alone maked me cold....

dont talk **** bitches iotus worked hard to make those and he dosent need you guys talkin **** about his work

it is HIS custom work and HE likes them so keep your opinions in your ***

BTW this dosent apply to all, just those talking **** about the tails

I know that's referring to me, so I guess I'll reply. I wasn't trying to bash ioTus's work. I said that he did a very good, quality job on them. I can see why a lot of people like them, he did them very well, great job ioTus. All I said was thay they're not for me, then I started bashing clayton for making himself look like a retard. Everyone else was posting their opinion about them, so what's wrong if me and nlc1179 post ours?

I LOVE the clear taillights on that blue car, it looks awesome! Tried it on mine, looks absolutely SICK on a cream colored car
I was really disappointed, I worked pretty hard on them. I even installed red bulbs. It really seems to depend on the color of the car as to weather or not they look good. Bet they'd sell on ebay for $100 a set easy, though. .

I reinstalled the regular lights, too. I got really lucky on ebay, I found a set of lights that were absulutely beautiful, car must have been garaged 'cause these taillights were flawless. Both for $30!!

BTW, if anyone wants the clear one I've done(got a couple of small cracks) let me know and its yours for the shipping. I'll thrown in another light too if you want it, I broke the clear lens on it, though.

So now you're the expert on what ioTus thinks? I doubt anyone would like someone like you to defend them like that. I complimented ioTus on how nice of a job he did, he has a nice, clean car. I can appreciate that he did a very good quality job on every part of it. It must have taken him a lot of time to make his car exactly how he wants it. All I said was that IN MY OPINION, I don't really like the look of clear lights. I also don't like subwoofers in a car, but it's all a matter of personal preference. I don't see why you have such a big problem with people stating their opinions. Nlc1179 is actually a really good friend of mine and he's not on the forum much, so since both of us don't like the look of them, I decided I'd go ahead and make a post in his defense. I still fail to see how my comments are stupid, as you are the only one here that I see making themselves look like a moron.

I just found some matching photos- bu to make the S5 tail lights fit in a 1st gen, you must either trim the crap out of the lights, or mod the rear of the 1st gen seven- not exactly a practical mod- so I didn't even try a phot-chop.

The mods should edit out the firefight that took place and put this in the archive. I get a lot of questions about this mod. At least 3 a week.
