Tail Light Swap! **Pictures**
 
Hey guys, i went to the wreckers to get a new starter for my car and found the tail lights that iv been wanting to swap into my car since i got it! They only charged me 50 dollars for both tail lights!! :D Their in great condition and the swap took under an hour.

Let me know what you think. The old tail lights were painted by the previous owner to match the car but i felt that they were just boring and plain. I think the new ones break up the colour a bit and i LOVE the circle lights :D

Love S5 tails... don't know if I'm feeling the wing. Maybe it's just the pics... idk

NEXTIME 12-12-10 10:42 AM

The wing is a little too much lol, It was all the previous owners doing. It has started to grow on me tho :P You dont ever see these cars in my area so everyone is always looking lol.

Tail lights look good!

But holy wing batman. But that next on your list! Love the color of the car with the color of the rims. :)

Ps the shaved trim actually loOks good.

NEXTIME 12-12-10 11:08 AM

Thank you tuscan! I appreciate the feed back :D

antj101 12-12-10 11:17 AM

Lol. Yeah I guess I hear ya. I think if the wing was just a little shorter in height then I'd be all for it. I love the led's on in the wing.

and if you drop it a little more on those wheels.. it'd be sick!

Looks great though

antj101 12-12-10 11:18 AM

P.s.

I want your hood!!!!!!!!!!!!!

shaved trim ftw, I'm in the process of doing it to my TII. the Sarona/Erebuni side skirts and rear bumper are my favorites, looking pretty good.

antj101 12-12-10 11:34 AM

For some reason I like my trim... I don't know why.. lol

rotordad 12-12-10 12:03 PM

Lights look good, the rest as long as you like it then that's what matters.

Spirit-RE 12-12-10 12:31 PM

Needs some killer stance to make the shaved look kind of work...

Glad to see your starting to de-rice it lol

Alex_n/a 12-12-10 01:23 PM

modernize them taillights :D

I like the wing, but it is about a foot too tall.

iani1.1 12-12-10 03:54 PM

haha..

NEXTIME 12-12-10 05:26 PM

Lol yeah i know it doesnt always mean its a good thing but i love the car! The colour is unique and the car looks like nothing around here :D Big cop magnet but ohh well lol

Nick86 12-12-10 05:35 PM

The wing is structural, he needs it to keep the rear bumper on..... without it he has nothing to hook bungee cords to!

Where in Ontario are you?

NEXTIME 12-12-10 05:58 PM

Lol! thats the day i bought the car. The previous owner was using the cords so that side of the bumper wasnt hanging. I secured the bumper by self tho without those ghetto cords so i can take it for quick runs around the block lol. Im located in burlington ontario

iani1.1 12-12-10 06:16 PM

i think better offset wheels and a kit with the trim molded i think would look better. the trim then no trim side from the front just looks... eh, just doesnt flow lol

haha yea, pretty much

Renton 12-12-10 06:57 PM

An S5 Light swap totally deserves it's own thread. This thread is skittles.

NEXTIME 12-12-10 07:03 PM

Renton - If you don't like it, dont post here. I was happy about the swap and the deal i got. I wanted feedback and to show members on the forums what iv done. Im sorry this wasn't some sort of turbo thread or huge expensive build thread! But thanks for the feedback!
