s5 taillights *modernized* (pics)
i have no problems with the stock s5's i like them how they are, but i prefer my S4's bc i like keeping my car series correct, unless its something like a radio surround b/c the s5's where made of non brittle rubberized plastic, unlike s4's. Every car has ******* dual round taillights i liekd them at first, but i refuse to buy them, seeing as i got two sets of S4's for $10 in good condition + a rear bumper cap
Hey yo, i have seen *(eriksseven's)* car up close and those tails are bad ***, gives his car a more futureistic look/sporty look, hey erik this is jason the guy with the 2nd gen /gp body kit. u ever thought of replacing your blinker with a blue bulb , that would be sick! but illegal.
I did this to my black s5. Best thing I've done to my car. I get more comments on the taillights from people I know than any damn thing else. And (no offense) but I think it looks even better on a black car.

Great looking tail lights. Very OEMish looking unless you knew what the stocker's looked like.
Has anyone tried heating them up in the oven yet? I just thought I'd throw this idea out there to the community as it's common among Honda Civics. It might work well on FC's as well.
I just did a search for Honda+Civic+Oven on google and found some results. Here's one of them...

i love how u did the tinted tails eric....i like the s4's cause to most of the little street racers in my area dont know anything bout the rx7 engine wise atleast...i have a na s4....i like my tails....but im thinking bout tinting them seeing as i tinted all the markers except front turn signals.....im gona buy a thing of tint soon and tint the tails and front markers and buy plastice polish and clean up my lenses....i buy rc window tint at a hobbie store its like 3$ a bottle only problem is it doenst hold a shine that well...it does hold one tho...lol anyways moving along i was thinking bout getting some actual window tint for my tailights and just spray tinting my front turnsignals i kno the front would look good but the tails i duno and i dont want to mess up....ive grown accustomed to tinting the outside of the lights cause its easier to do i just havent found a clear coat that will make it shine and not change the tint silver....ive tinted the tails on a s10 and a gti and they both liked it....i duno i was wondering if i took the vht nighshade and tinted my tails externally would it hold a shine.....i will know cause i know what the tint i use looks like.....thanks

It's kind of funny, for my next 'secret s5 tail-project' I was thinking about using Testors transparent black tinting spray--but I don't have any experience with it... Just the 'red' color for doing 'all red' tails on assorted cars. Wheras you are just the opposite with VHT, lol.
I will tell you that VHT shines purple in color, sprays violently out of the can and has a tendency to 'spider-web' if the surface isn't prepared properly
.Other than that, it's *probably* the best... What does the 'hobby-shop' tint look like?
i definately like it... its something different....
i used to own a vw, and we used to experiment on almost all of the cosmetics of our cars...(maybe cause they were no good being fast?
)
keep up the good work buddy
