Wasn't there some company that was making an aftermarket tail light setup for our cars? I don't THINK it was clear lights, but I'm not really sure. They also made tails for Silvias, 180SXs, Supras, Skylines. Anyone got a clue who that was?
I remember they had a tail light conversion that changed some tails from (I think it was a Nissan Silvia) normal to Diodes if that helps.

They can talk rice trash all they want, but there are cars that are GORGEOUS, with crazy mods and have wings, stickers, and euros, and they look fantastic. People have frequently asked about where to get euro's, but it's always been to no avail. At one point, a member here made some of his own, that looked decent, but they were in the S4 form and had 3 brake bulbs and sections with semi circles. Not exactly clean. Very nice for home made though. I've never seen any in S5 form (complete circles). So unfortunately, they're pretty much unavailable. But don't stop looking. Manufactures are picking up on RX7 stuff more and more these days.
And to you guys out there who say that they will come and kill him, or smash his lights if he gets euros? That's sweet. If him getting those lights, and putting them on is rice, that makes you guys WORSE than ricers. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Truly pathetic.

I would be happy if there was at least the option. There is virtually no aftermarket for pre 90 cars. The 4 body kit's out there for FC's are either outrageously expensive, or ugly. I don't want altezzas on my car but I'd like them to exist. What about a carbonfiber hood or fenders? I look at this as discrimination, an 87 CRX has damn near a thousand body kits available, but I can only order a stock looking wing for my car from the same manufacturer. My $.02

Yeah, I don't hate them so much because of the rice factor, but the fact that they are UGLY AS ****, obviously hastily designed by some autocad monkey at APC's office and rapid prototyped in under a day with no actual design involved... The worst offender I've seen so far with these is the kit for the 2nd generation mitse eclipse... makes me want to
Oh and nillah your avatar is making me thirsty... Ramune is good ****, haven't had any since my last Japan trip...

Ya know what would look nice? A blackout of all but the round part of the lights. I don't like that big blocky red thing, or especially the big blocky orange thing, they look nice at night or otherwise illuminated, but lights out they look pretty gay to me.

Something that would look kewl on say a red rx7 with white rims would be some lenses that are white when off and shine red when they are on, kinda like a YZF-R6. And make them round kinda like Skylines.
And what is so kewl about S5 lights, they look just like a ford thunderbirds

If that's not "the pot calling the kettle black" then I don't know what is. No offense bro, but come on... You're stretching it now. If euro's come stock, it's all good because they look like they belong? What is that? Usually, a nice set of euro's can be manufactured very tastefully. Add them to a car that is deserving, and what isn't to like? How do they NOT belong? They're precicely the same as what the stock taillights were except that they're crystal clear, except for the actual brake, reverse, and turn signal "circles" or whatever. The area that gets lit up. I'm not aiming to flame ya, but I think you're starting to bend your own opinion.

That was acutally done tastefully. Most of the altezza and EURO tails that are out there look like crap. I enjoy the look of most factory clear tails because they look like they actually belong there.

Look I would not put them on an FB FC FD but the RX8 has them it looks good but! they look clean and they do not look like the are out of place. I would not put them on a car that did not ccome with them stock because I hate ricers and do not want to do what they do (cosmeticaly to their crappy cars) My car is not supposed to look all "COOL" like 90% of the people here say clear tails look. all the tails that are around from the aftermarket do not look like the ones abouve on the 8. They look like clear plastic with tin foil on the back and red circles for the lighted parts. the ones that come stock on cars look "NICE" at best. I would still prefer regular style tails on the 8. I like to set myself apart from the "RICER" scene because they are just following what they see on TV shows and Movies. I likw to be appreciated for my individuality not what I look like.
