stick with S5 taillights, tyring to make the car look like something its not is retarded. neither would fit with the flow of the car's lines. Put money into things that matter, like changing your fluids or a intake or something

I've seen skyline done before, looked pretty good actually.

yeah it looks alright, but these are kept contained to just modifying the lights that fit in the body like stock, doing an extensive amount of body work to fit taillights that dont match the bodystyle is retarded,

FE tails are sick looking I love mine but I agree they will never fit the body lines of a FC. Gonzz did Skyline tails in his SA and they looked good with his aditinal body mods.

To the poster if it floats your boat go for it.

Please keep the thread on topic. I'm sure the original poster doesn't care what people think about swapping tailights, he just wants ideas. Any other posts (ie. those complaining about rice) will be deleted or edited as required.

Personally, Corvette style lights could be nice if done properly. Maybe in the shape of little rotors? ;)

Hmm damn thats a flipin good idea! Perhaps try the colord vinal over S5 tails and cut out rotors in vinal over the round spot.

ehh??

I was semi-serious, but now that I think about it, properly done, it could be very interesting and unique. They would need to be Frenched in slightly, and the inner most of the three could be split red/white for the reverse, while the outermost is split red/orange for the signal. I guess first the stock taillight area would have to be filled flat, but that's not a big deal for most body shops.

eh corvette might look alright but i dunno...i can picture it and not really my style.....and with the rotors, sounds like an ok idea but dont ya think that would look too tacky or ricer lookin? i was also thinkin s2000 taillights, what do you all think? those are nice clean looking lights and could possibly work well with some body work, but not too much...

hey and this is a random question, but how do you get a picture/thumbnail thing on your profile? everytime i try to post a pic of my fc there it tells me its the wrong size or something...

rotor shaped taillights have been done, but not very well imho
