I'm getting some serious custom bodywork done on Barney. Part of it will be mounting the dry-brake (for fuel into the fuel cell) in the spot right about where the third brake light normally is. But a dry-brake is big enough that it wouldn't really fit there, so where the license plate goes will be moulded out. I figured, why not mould some custom tail lights in while I'm at it.

So what are some ideas for best looking tail lights I could mould into and FC? Problem is, most tails are 2 piece tails because of trunks. Like some of the new Alfa tails ...

Help me out with some ideas.

 

i think the tails from a c4/c5 vette molded to fit back there would look pretty good..... PLEASE NO ALTEZZAS

 

no, dont do the vettes, i thought about it and they wouyld be easily identifiable, and something like that belongs on a chicano f150.

 

I like the Euro Mazda 6 tails too ... but they're 2 piece

 

easily identifiable, kind of like that photoshopped erebuni sig?

 

haha.. i thoght that was real the firse time i looked at it.. but every time i see it, it looks more and more fake..Still tho.. thats probly the nicest looking bumper i've ever seen

 

Uhh, duh ... that's why it says coming soon. It's a photochop .. but it still looks really sweet. Like a Muricigliero (sp) FC. I'd take that front.

 

That would be dry-break...

 

right you are ...

 

Hmmm, I dunno, i really like how the s5 tails look on fc's, but thats not what you're asking

i dunno about what other tails would look good, though... good luck finding ones that will work and look good

 

Actually, I was thinking about the C4 Corvette tails a week or so ago, and went so far as to (poorly) photochop it. It looks kinda shitty...I don't know if it's because it's a bad idea, or because I really, really suck at photoshop. You be the judge!

 

just leave em stock...

 

I agree with setachrome. Leave 'em stock, and attach a flipup license holder form an older Caprice or something. It'll be clean, and it won't attract much attention from cops or ricers wanting to screw with your car. Or, when you leave them stock, tint them with spray light tint. I just did mine on my 88 SE, and the whole back end looks about a thousand times better.

 

Just do like i did on my T2. I got some s5 tails and then my step-dad fiberglassed some taillight covers for me so all you can see is the two circle lights. i even had him change that tacky long rectangle reverse light into a small circle. so now im left with a pretty stylish rearend, kinda like a skyline....beautiful. you get a nice exterior mod without changing the integrity of the fc. youre not trying to mold anything at all and most importantly it doesnt look ricey and its really cheap to do!

 

my sig isnt supposed to look real or to fool anyone, just there to show you what I will be making soon. And as far as finding lights you have to find something wide enough so it will look right, and the closest thing i can thing of would be stock prelude lights.

 

stock S5 look good enuf
or .... buy some skyline r32/33 on ebay they not expensive at all and they should look pretty good

well i was going to costom some skyline into my vert, but i end up got the S5

good luck with your bodywork

 

integra tails, although they may look too skinny, maybe older ones i think theyre taller

 

ryan trust me and go with the stock prelude lights, im sure some riceboy has them on ebay with as many aftermarket ones around, plus you have to keep in mind they wrap around that corner quite well like the fc lights

 

ive seen supra tail lights molded into an FC before. i think its a bit ricey but it is an option

 

Who wants to photoshop this one on an fc?

I always thought the late 80's/early 90's dodge daytona lights would look good on an FC. They're actually very similar cars from the door back, and very similar taillight designs. Think of it as halfway between s5 tails and FD tails.

 

MKIII supra?

 

no it was a 93-98 supra style lights. I remember seeing them on a pic somewhere on this forum a long time ago.... ill try a search and see what i get

 

im not talking about the ones you saw, i KNOW those would look ridiculous... but the MKIII on the other hand, might look good...

 

some idiot put some integra lights on his car a while back on a green fc, nasty as all hell, and please for the sake of the car do not put something intended to be a knock off of the fc on the FC. (daytona idea)
