painted taillights
has anybody ever painted S5 taillights... i mean the part that doesnt light up...so its like just circles? I searched and found a thread from like 3 years ago, people were calling it rice. Anyone got any pics?

Even Condeleeza says this thread is rice. theres a reason we called it rice three years ago. Theres a reason we'll call it rice now. None the less, there have been pictureso f them painted... looks like shit imo though-- good way to trash/waste a decent pair of rare s5 tails |
:withstupi
do a search theres pics and threads about this |
I could understand smoking them, but painting them like you stated? I don't know, that does seem a little rice.
|
i can understand not liking thunderchicken tallights... go for s4's because they are so much cooler.
|
lol good one Aesop i did search and the pics arent being hosted ne more thats y i posted. anyway i never mentioned doing the mod, i just wanna see a pic.
|
if you wanna smoke your taillights do you just spray the inside with smoke paint? and do they still work well?

Repainted (rattle can) and striped with Pepboys grade pinstriping. I thought it might make the S4 tails look a little meaner without adding unnecissary rice. Two cars and 6 months later, no sign of wear. They looked better on Silver though. |

how is that less rice than painting S5 lights. All you're doing is painting the part that doesnt light up in both applications. I'm not asking to be an asshole, im genuinly curious as to why people like this and dislike the other.

just because of the way the lights are designed, it looks cool on s4, and not so good on s5.

i have this feference book on the fc (it was published in '85) and its mostly about its history and planning but it also has lots of info on other rotary cars and rotaries in general. but one of the original ideas was to have lights that (if S5's exited) look like your "thunderchicken" tail lights. they wanted it to resemble taillights of the r100.
