Alternative vehicles for tail light swap?
I wanted to try making up new tail lights for my ride and putting new sheet metal or removing some to fab up the area. It occured to me I might be able to find something already out there and save myself a bunch of work. Anything anyone knows of that matches the same contour of the corners of our sevens? Some of the older Integras look like they'd work. Plenty of aftermarket lights for them.

Well much to what seems against everyone's advice I'm going more towards the Supra looking set up in the first reply. Not so crazy with the body kit or wing but close to what they did with the tail lights. I'm looking at one of the Mariah body kits and some custom wheels. I'm currently filling in the body lines, already yanked the fat plastic body molding and will be putting in the CP Racing HID headlight conversion (probably not real HID but oh well). I'm going to shave the door handles, antena and the plastic chunk between the tail lights. I'd like a long and narrow looking tail light set but don't have the resources to fab up plastic lenses. I saw a early mitsu eclipse with something that might work for me. First gen eclipse I think.
Anyone know what was done to Supra out that other RX? A little over the top for me, but well executed.

those look like integ taillights or rsx. but god awful ugly in my opinion. a lot of hard work involved nonetheless. u gotta take off the back fender, and by take off i mean rip off. and mould the new bumper on over it.

They do look like the older Integra lights I was looking at. The body style is what I was refering to being Supra'd on the car in the pic. Anyone know what years those tail lights were on the Integras?

Ok, first off. ninja_rxx7pr, that was totally uncalled for. Your still a little new to be flaming people. You will find that you might get a bad reputation if you keep that up.
As for the lights, I agree that there was a lot of work done to do them. But then, the whole car is done the same way. Everything is moulded in. A little extreme, but nice nonetheless.

Sorry, double post.
Looks like the new server can't keep up anymore either. It took me 10 min just to post that.
