Lets see some pics of your homemade lights next to some real 99 spec lights then matty.
Unfortunatly, all the homemade 99 specs i have seen do look exactly like that....."homemade".
We are coming from completely different modding backgrounds here.
Most off you guys in the usa are all into this "jdm" bandwagon, seen it alot on this rx7club, hondatech etc etc etc, you see, jdm doesnt really matter to most us here in the uk, cos we have had thousands and thousands and thousand of proper "jdm" cars coming over being imported here each week for the last 10 years, so we see it all the time , and so we dont think a tweed covered center arm rest for an 93 EG civic as the holygrail of all mods, and unfortunatly its the same for 99 spec lights in the uk aswell, you dont get guys in the uk going....."sweet, you got some 99spec back lights"
I really dont like the chrome lexus lights you can get for the rx7, i agree there that they dont look particulary nice at all, but i think the dark versions i got for mine (from japan btw...so they are "jdm") work well, especially with the colour of my car.
Like i said before, i KNOW that veilside isnt a particular favourite for most guys on here.....but lets face it, Veilside was and still is one of the best tuners in japan so that makes them jdm, so why the hatred of one of the most respected tuners in japan!?!?!.....they are "jdm" afterall!!!
Not starting a war session, i'm just putting my point across.
Cheers

i did the 99 spec rear lamp conversion on mine and i was and still am really proud of them, but i have quickly got bored so i bought some black lexus style lights to fit..i paid £122 including p+p+insurance...quite a good deal me thinks.
i do think the ones i bought off ebay look better than the ones on the purple RX..i like the chrome rings around the lenses..they kinda match the rings around my dials
