I dissasembled the stock tail lights, removed the stock colored lenses, and moulded clear overhead lamp plastic into the same shape and re-assembled.

Thank you for the compliment, not many people like them.

i think it really depends on the car, some cars look nice with teh clears and other it just looks awfull. I deffinetly think your car suits them ioTus, thats also a really great writeup/tutaorial.

Gotta agree that they look good--- I'm not fond of most of the blue 7s because of the taillights... but clear seems to have taken care of that problem

Yeah the stock tail lights just looked out of place, as well as all the reflectors. It needed a frosty look so I made some frosties for it :-D

My se is black. Any suggestions as to what I should modify on the tailllights? I am thinking about simply removing the red and yellow lenses and putting colored bulbs in, but now ioTUS has got me thinking about more interesting things to do. Any other good ideas?

Damn, yesterday i typed up a full page response. Apparently it didnt post.

In general this is what it said:

Check out Mills' car he has clear side and corner lights, and it would look tight with clear rears.

Polish the front oil cooler, it looks really sweet.

Remove the front grille slats, it makes it look more like a scoop.

and i think thats all i said.

Peace

Oh yeah. I've thought about doing that too. If you've seen it in person, then I'll probably go ahead and do it. I figure it should look pretty frigging sweet.
