this looks really good but the fact that the bulb is visible makes kills it.

ill see if i can take better pics of the tail lights tomorw day/night pics. each circle lights up really good and bright

I actually think that looks the best lol

im not a fan of the "modernized" removed diffuser lense look myself *unless you throw LEDs in there hehehe* , makes the tails look cheap, i think yours look better =D

looks good!

s4 tails ftw.

i like the look but not a fan to rock it myself.

mehh i wont bother taking them apart just for that.

What's wrong with the factory series 5 look? Plus that's illegal technically.

is there any pics with jsut the lights on? is there any major difference?

Modernized tails:

bought S5 lights, "modernized" them...

Hated them...

went back to S4 and now I'm happy again.

So I have a set for sale... cheap.

corner lens were cracked so they were repaired with bondo sanded and painted black except the center line through the middle (see pic) something different anyway. There are some small chips -they are not perfect -but look OK. You cannot tell they were repaired unless you REALLY look. PM me an offer if anyone wants them.

Acura NSX FTW





oh wait,.. sorry, I thought we where mentioning things that dont relate to the original posters topic? lol

^^^^Hahaha

John ny

good one hyper... HA!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

nice one hyper. :icon_tup:

I didn't see anything unrelated? :dunno:

wow those look really good

hmm fc tail lights dont relate? interesting.

leave em stock, tint them, dont forget the 3rd brake light, this pic is the lights and hazards so the 3rd light is not lit, nor are the brake lights, just parking lights.

Looks good, definitely a new one. I always loved the modernized tails in eriksseven's pics. Then I did my own and liked them even more.

Seeing the bulbs don't bother me, I still like it better than the diffusers. Might try LED's for my next set.

Good work rx7 drifter, you did something unique and useful. Do like.

I do like them better then no diffusers, with nothing in there they look like spotlights or something

Yo Rob, what did you use to tint your tails? VHT? I've always wanted to spray a set but have always held back for fear of ruining them... Any blotchiness? Did it lay down well?

I did not use VHT, if you search my thread on my vert lights I outlined what I used.

I have used the VHT and really did not like the results.

https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-non-technical-pictures-198/s4-s5-smoked-clear-coated-vert-tail-swap-770618/ for the thread

product is dupont imron, he mixed translucent or light solids black tint with clear.


Looks good. Wouldnt it have just been easier to say the product name though?


john ny

Haha, I agree.

it would have- except if the person asking goes to the thread there is a little more information including some discussion about the VHT.

I could give the ted answer:

imron

-ted

I'm starting to kinda like the modernized look.

i wouldn't want to mess around with my s5 tails,, i like em stock way better looking imo over "modernized"

^^^^Me too (aside from l.e.d.) If i had a black car, rob xx7s idea is badass.

I guess you could tint clear with other colors as well to match the car, t probably would look doodoofully asstastic though.

John ny

original is the way to go.

i like how some of the first posters light pics were taken on a mattress lol

Revived an old thread just to say that?


lol

Yea i was just lookin through some info on tail lights and i thought that was kind of funny so i decided to mention it lol

Now THATS how you do it... none of that LED/Diffuser-less lamps B.S...

After LED's this is the best look out there

I think stock is better then this...I prefer my LED tails though.

@ Ecko. Whats the deal with the paint on that flat black FC? Is it just primer, or primer with clear? I like.

bringin back the bars on the kouki, oh snap
