Hey guys I'm trying to custom make roundie S5 style taillights on my FB and was just wondering if anyone else has done it or not. I'd like to see some pics if possible. Any tips would be greatly appreciated too. Thanks

 

i have no input or experience but i must say i really love the tails on the TIIs more than i do the FB's..

i guess get working around with some fiberglass and see where it leads. eventually you'll end up with what you want.

 

really....^^....you like the t2 tails over the fb tails...I love the tail lights on my fb...I don't even like the clear or smoked lenses that some people make for their fb...

 

ive never seen the roundies on a FB but compared to most cars i always thought they were sexy...

what about putting a more double roung center behind the stock tails? they are already kind of round, but maybe with some work and masking it could look similar with less work.

guess we'll have to wait and see what happens here, it could get interesting.

 

My plan was to measure the actually lense, not the ribbed cover, and carefully calculate how big the circles will be and cut them out of window tint. I'll spray paint the tint black so no light can shine through and then apply it to the lense and put the ribbed cover back on. How do you guys think that will work?

 

theres one here in clarksville like that. hes got two red circles, one orange circle, and one white circle. he jus used black spray paint and tape. it actually looks pretty sweet.

 

are ya talkin round lights like on the r32 skylines

i had a friend who made them look badboy lookin was awsome on the car heres a paint pic

i know it looks dumb but it looked awsome at night

 

Any pics of any would be great or a walkthrough of how they were done

 

el cheapo way would be to buy some vinyl stickers (like vinyl decals) and trace and cut circles and stick them onto your tail lights maybe on the inside if you can. iono what im sayin...

 

^^^Basically the same as how I'd do it with window tint

 

yeah it was window tint but i meant to mention this was on a skyline

and the pic was deminstrating the look

but are you saying you would like to make ya own lights like this pic and have two lights per side

or mod exsisting with just fiberglass covering creating the efect i hope some one comes along with a fb pic of one i know iv seen one here on the site from some dude from greece

 

No I'm not trying for the R32 look. The look I'm going for is S5 style where the lights will look stock until they light up. two circles for each brake light(two per brake light) and one circle for each turn signal while leaving the reverse lights stock

 

I think that would look good though; What would look bad *** are the r100, rx2 tailights!!!!

 

oic sorry for pushing the wrong idea .
sounds like a really tricky job to do

i agree with rxn407 they have a really cool look

 

It's okay. So do you guys think using some window tint and some spray paint would work? I'm basically just masking the lense the way I want it

 

There was a write up on this a while back. I'd search if I were you. I belive they used black spray paint and went back a couple of times to make sure the light wouldn't pass through.

Good luck. Hope to see some pics.

 

^^^I did search and nothing turned up, that's why I posted the thread.

 

It has been done before. You need to remove the lenses and then apply the sticker.

Only problem is eliminating the dumbell look. The reflective piece tends to connect circles.

 

True, but I think that's a problem that can be fixed easily. Also does anyone know a good way to get the lenses apart and back together? They're held together by what looks like tar
