psychodad1313@hotmail.com Makes the taillights with all of the plastic around the circles painted over. E-mail him for pics. He calls em "GTR Taillights."

If anyone has pics, I'd like to see them. I emailed him before and got no response.

pic of "gtr" taillights

here's a link to a pic of psychodad's GTR style taillights for the FC.

it's a bmp, sorry. 425kb or something.

anyone wanna convert it to jpg and post it up?

http://www.geocities.com/projectfenr...taillights.bmp

it was the picture that psychodad sent to me when i enquired about buying a set of his lights.

i want GTR or Corvette style lights on my FC, i think that would rock....tho it looks like i'm gonna hafta settle on round 89-90 lights like everyone else :-(

Geocities no longer supports that type of code, you just have to post the link.

And when people try to click on the link it probably will not work. Copy the link and then paste it into your browser window.

Pain in the butt, I know.

why not do something cool, like remove the original tail lights, and weld in a filler panel to smooth out the back. then graft in Supra tail lights. those are really cool, and have the round lenses inside the housing. ive seen it done on a convertible, and it looked pretty nice. couldnt tell the difference, except, i know what the original stuff is supposed to look like.

here is another idea: sell your rx-7 and buy a supra or corvette then you'll have the tail lights you want.

That is the riciest (is that a word??) thing I have ever seen. I feel an obligation as a RX-7 owner to try to talk you out of that. Your tuning us into honda's.
I just sold my 89 and bought an 87TII I like the 89 tail lights better but I'm not about to start f'ing up the back end of my car to make it look like a corvette or supra. Why not get some 89+ tail lights that would look tight!!

alright Kokomo, since you seem to have all the answers, tell me. where the hell can i get my hands on a set of 89+ tail lights for under $250?

anyone whose selling their 89+ tail lights think they are selling gold, and what a butt load of cash for them. i can think of MANY ways that i can use that $250 (or more) to make my car faster.

whatever man
