And - you are SO right! I think they look great, and especially on the darker color. Back to the think tank for new ideas.........

it would probably look ebtter if you didnt have that huge gap between like your turn signal and your brake lights.. like since the lenses are two pieces, the red inside and the orange outside you can see the black gap between the two.. but like look at the fd you posted above? see how its like flush and its solid color all the way across? just my opinion..

Nah, put the gun away:
1. The "rear hatch sun shield" is an OEM Mazda
option. It's in the brochure and is still probably
available through dealers. I think I paid around
$270.00. It's well made.
2. The exhaust is an Apexi N1, although it is currently
on it's way to Virginia and I am putting on an RB
dual tip 'cause I like the stock look ALOT more than
single can. BTW, the Apexi stuff is really incredible
quality.
3. I am used to my new tailights and I am keeping them
since everyone from Cali likes them, and everyone
knows that Cali is the **** when it comes to cars.
NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH! I'm cutting edge!!!HAHAHAHA

I'm not sure how it looks with the vr that your car really is, but the way it looks on my laptop with that pic anyways, its a pretty deep red/orange, and I think the silver matchs really well, not sure if I'd like it with the real red as much or not, but I do like it with the orange color that your car isn't hehe

Personally I like it. I think it is more subtle than a lot of other taillight conversions out there, and definately doesnt stand out like alteezas or whatever. I do think FD's look better with the middle piece with the 3rd brake light black like the tail lights....where its more like one continuous piece. But in any case, good work!
OH and P.S.....I got a tail light mod in mind for my TII that I don't think ANYONE has done before! I'm not telling what it is yet, but once I am finished I'll be sure and post lots o' pics.

Nah, I'm not cynical.
