my actual custom lights?

or the clear 2nd gen lights on my page?

I will asume your talking about the 2ng gen lights so heres the info.

i guess the guys e-mail address is dead, or he is just not answering them any more,
havent seen them on a car, but he did tell me how to make them for the most part.

basically its just the 2nd gen shell with those sheets you buy from home depot to cover your florescent lights.

my buddy was gonna order a set but then he got the round ones from an 89, we both agreed those were much more classy then the clear ones

ioTus what are you doing to plug the square holes where the colored lenses clipped in on your taillights? Also where did you get the clear front marker lights?

Which square holes? I'm going to go to the hardware store and get some of that clear plastic stuff, put it in there and see if i like it, but i may just leave the lenses out altogether.

Thats what i have right now, and i think it looks pretty nice. adds depth to it.

the clear lenses are sold by Jose Reyes at:

www.rotaryrx7.com

enjoy

I dont really like the look of those on FB's. it doesnt match the style of the car i think.

I definately like the DTM style
