My new tails

These are some taillights i designed. I want some opinions on how they look on the 7. Is it ricey or does it keep the good nature of the car.

what'd you do? just black out some areas so you'll just have a few little circles that light up?

I think it's on the ricey side of things. But hey, you did a clean job of it.

But hey, If you like it, leave it on! Thats all that maters (aside from it being safe, if not enough light gets out, you might want to undo it)

I like the S5 lights better. If you liek those, keep them. They aren't too bad. And its somethnig that nobody else has. WOuld I do it to mine? Nope..i love my s5 lights, but like i said, it doesn't look that bad. Do you have ap ic of them lit up at night?

ill take some tonight. i had these on my car for like a week now. cops dont bother me about them so i guess theyre "safe" im going to make like 4 more designs for the lights and go with the ones that get the best reviews so far its not these....hehe. im just trying to make some lights that make the s4 look good, instead of spending 300 on some s5 lights that everybody in the world has. Im sorry but i like to be different. keep the lashings coming, some of them are quiet funny.

Sorry, those look horrible......I just don't think the S4 tails can ever be made to look good (I have them on my car and I think they look fine stock, however I wouldn't mind a pair of S5's on there), but praise to you for trying something different. Definately put up some night pics.

I'm sorry bro but thats just nasty. Why don't you just paint the frame the same color as the car?

Hrm, nice idea to make your own design rather than get the S5 ones I'm wanting to just paint the frame like SirRX7 said.... But if you make some cool design with it that I like, I'd like to try doing something similar myself maybe Or have inspiritation.

First problem being... I don't know what to do / how you did yours


Anyway, now for what you want:
My thoughts:
I don't care for them a whole lot, but all in all I don't care too terribly much about rear light things... I'd like to see them in action though Get a better idea of what they look like and all...

I dunno, I don't like S5 lights much more than the S4 heh heh, and I feel like you could do more with the S4 ones as well....

Hahaha, good ol best of Will Farell(SP?) DVD!

Anyways, onto the lights.......I'd say take em off, they are not good looking. Stock S4 look better then that. Or get some S5 tails.
