reflective taillights.....

Can somebody please tell me a site or know of any nice reflective taillights for a 91? Like the ones you'll see on alot of civics and newer cars.Because I'm going to repaint my car and I want to take off all the labels and make it look like a new car. Anyone?

I don't think you'll find any help here with that, but this post will result in a lot of flames. Most people here (myself included) view Altezza lights as the pinnacle of rice. I know of no manufacturers making them for RX-7s (thankfully).

A great upgrade for your tail lights is the ones from an 86-88. They fit perfectly if you have the center license plate holder. If you want I'll trade you

Shame shame....

Tricking the poor fellow that way.

By reflective, do you mean shiney plastic surface or an actual reflector in the bezel?

The shine the plastic, just get "Scratch Out" from "Kit".

Do you whole car.
Not just the lights, but use an orbital buffer.
sit it on the lights and 3rd taillight for a minute or two.

Theyll polish right back up.


If you mean to put an actual reflector in the bezel.

Write to:

I think they have a special on now.

Ask for the "San Francisco Treat".

Dude, I posted pics of my Integra taillight conversion, and it was absolute Hellfire. Leave it alone in these parts, as there are some very strong opinions on taillights here for some reason. Some call it purist, I call it closemindedness. But dont get me wrong I am not a fan of Altezzas.

I don't call it "closemindedness" when it involves a whole tub of Bondo.&nbsp I call it "addingunnecessaryweight"...

Actually, after cutting away so much metal, and supports etc, and welding back in there thinner guage metal, and installing smaller taillights i shed weight, not gained it. So it actuall was a mod that made me quicker!! Hows that for irony! Also I used very minimal body filler, just enought to cover where I grinded down welds.
