New rear lights

Hacked up a set of acura euro lights bad and molded them in a old set of s4 rear lights. What do you think? Cheesy or looks ok...

Nice job! I think they look good. Are the blinkers the lights on the outside?

They kinda look like corvette back lights. They don't fit well with the body. Not so hot, IMO.

lights

Still have my s5's, and I know they look better, just wanted to try something different. They still need to be wetsanded, clearcoated which should make them match the car more.

Kudos to the work you did. They look made nicely. I don't think they look right on the car. I think it would look kinda cool to have the car, lights and wheels to be white.

I think it looks good.

I have always been against spending the $200-300 on S5 tail lights because I don’t think it is worth it (I am a function-over-form kind of guy) . …but those look good. How hard was the project?

Yea i think they look pretty sweet at night. During the day might just take some getting used to.

uhhh, okay... not my cup of tea...

It always amazes me how Mazda spent millions on the FC and some kid with $200 can just utterly distroy the good looks.

what was wrong with the stock lights that you felt the need to put trailer lights on the back of your car??

And then post two threads about it??? Your threads have been merged

They are okay, but I think if you could put something over them, smoked plastic or something, they would look better.
