IMHO I think that is the most hideous thing i've ever seen on an Rx-7, that is a big call I know, but i'm willing to make it.

Sorry, I think they look hideous. Too ricey. It would look better if you made the openings bigger though. And not circle. Maby use it to cover only the black plastic rectangles that are on the lenses, but leave the lenses alone and don't cover them.

I am not a fan. I like the idea of an option other than s4 or s5 tails, but those just don't work with the car. Holes to small maybe.

Personaly... If you get rear-ended, you're giving the insurance company ammo to nail you with damanges of the car from the person that hit you.

Personaly, I think blacking out, or covering up any part of the braking/tail lights is just stupid.

The brake lights are their for a security issue. I'm sad to wish this on an rx-7, but i will give you NO sympathy when you get rear-ended by a huge truck. Infact if I were a judge, I'd publicaly humiliate you about those break lights.

DOT makes cars have brake lights for a reason. I'd be ******* pissed if i hit you, I'd get out and want to shoot you for not having useful brake lights.

Just my two cents. Like people that don't use their blinker...

I think there are just way too many holes. That and the size of them. It just looks very ugly.

Man that is the worst thing you can do to your car. What were you thinking? Originality has its place but that is just uncalled for.

i have one thing to say

I have to agree with kenneth - dont mess with tail lights. I have been rear ended while sitting. I could not believe how much of a hassle it was to collect what they owed me for the car. - And, this was a stock car.

I'd put halogens in my taillights if i thought it would keep someone from rear-ending my car. Some people don't know how to drive and need 600+ft to stop. The better warning that i'm stopping the better for ME and them. Same with blinkers btw. And I persoanly hate the tailight blockouts. I mean come on... Its stupid and counter-productive. Why don't you just shove your car in reverse and floor the gas at a busy stoplight.
Its stupid, sure its each his own, but come on!?!? Its my ******* safety too. I don't trust 96% of drivers. I don't know why you trust them enough to say they don't need to see your brake lights.


Wouldn't you be pissed if you rear-ended someone because their brake lights didn't work? Guess who's fault it is!? Withought a lawyer, its yours, even though their lights didn't work. I personaly would shoot those tailights out with a shotgun so you would have to get them replaced with STOCK ones.

My $.05, and my $.05 is enough to get you sued, so fix your tailights before I shoot them out.

You get an A for effort, but the lights are ugly. The square S4 lights are not so bad looking that you have to go do something like that to your car.
