Is this the silver widebody you were talking about? The back was modified though.

My car is a S3 not a S1, but if your interested, you can see pics of my smoked out tail lights at the bottom of this thread:

They were made for me by a fellow member of rx7club.

Once I find a nice set of lenses, I will be blacking out the brake and turn signals while leaving the reverse white. I may tinker around with modding them like I do S2 and S3 lights. One of these days Cam I'm going to get that article scanned! LOL

It is a transparent black spray. I layed the spray to get them really dark. You can see the light through them just fine.

Yes, you are correct. This car has been discussed a few times, before. I'm in the middle of doing an FB to SA "conversion", right now, following 1SUPER7's lead.
