Just a quick idea. Opinions?



I think the little red square gotta go. Probably use Geoff's idea on that one.

well do a pic of a regular one, i dont normally see the back of my car lol

looks s5ish, would look good depending on other mods to appearance i think

MarkPerez

my tail lights are like that,but further apart. and the turn signals (yellow) are round too.

Rx7carl

Well it looks more classic sportscar to me. Mark, I centered the holes with the bulbs, but I see what you mean. The holes could be spread a little further apart, possibly negating removal of that stupid little square too! I didnt do the turn signal yet, this was just a quickie idea I wanted to try.

MarkPerez

don't be so quick to discount those reflectors, those small squares are the only reflectors on the car, and could save your butt. i don't like 'em either. I've got several pairs of taillights. i havn't been working on them lately, but i'm fabing. some real ' crystal' 'altezza' style
tails with chrome,red lens,yellow lens, all staggerd and
behind the clear outter 'stock' lens cover(s) with ' i should add'the small squares removed. need more refining, i have all the materials, just gotta get hot and do'em.

i like the way that looks, but the red square has to go. what do they look like during the day?

It'd be cool is they looked straight up black during the day... Exactly like the middle panel.

what do the stock lights look like? I've never actually seen the back end of my car with the lights on at night.

Anyways, that actually looks pretty cool, and I'm usually not a fan of modding lights of any sort.

how much is it... to do the mod...??

MarkPerez

A can of black spray paint, disassemble the tails,remove the red and yellow lens,find something 41/2 inch's round,place that round template on the red lens,or contact paper, cut 4 round templates 41/2 inchs , stick on red lens where you want them and spray all the red,
black on 1 side, same with the yellow lens.

looks good, but has anyone ever done that mod with horizontal lights? you know, where the light would be red horizontally? just seems that it would flow a little better with the lines on the back of the first gen.
just a thought.

looks prety good, actually. and normally im not a fan of the round looks (some fcs and the ford t-bird)

u don't have to use black spray paint, u can go to walmart and get tint in a can (kind of like window tint) and spray the outside of the lense and it looks real good

Rx7carl

Actually I used a roll of 4" black plastic tape (like electrical tape). I cut 3" holes. Mark, youll never fit a 4 1/2 hole there, the red panel is only 3 1/2 tall. And on the reflectors, if you lllok youll see that Geoff just put a clear reflector from a bicycle so it still reflects.

Yea I was shooting for the S5 look. Its very classy IMHO.

Gregs

this tint in a can.... got any pics of it n a first gen?... i have been planning on tinting my taillights and all my signals...

It looks pretty good. Isn't that kinda what the savanna taillights look like?

You have RX-7 taillights on your washer/dryer setup?! LOL j/p. They look nice. I was thinking about doing the same thing to mine.

what does it look like in the day with the tint on the lights?

xlversatilelx

how did you do it looks nice, and anyone else have suggestions on how to do it ??

MarkPerez

need refining,,still

Rx7carl

You want them on your washer dryer too now huh?
My washer /Dryer shifts mad quick yo!

MarkPerez

one more

Rx7carl

You just need to get the outer cover off (be careful, they can crack easy, look at Iotus's cardomain page for some info) then just mask the reflector. Im gonna make it nicer and post more pics sometime this week.

yea round is neat, but it doesn't fit any of the body lines, shapes, or dimentions, they're just too off. It makes it look like a civic trying to get in round lights...

Rx7carl

Well I did ask for opinions right?
