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!! 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

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

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.

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?

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

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!
