Contemplating red/clears on my coupe....

Here's what they'll look like(I think?) :




Darren, are these the same tails as yours?

Anyway, what do you guys think? I need to do something to the car as this whole "swap" ordeal is getting drawn out

Actually, on a side note, that exhaust doesn't look too bad at all either, not too "in your face".

I personally like those clear 'lexus' style lights, they are not very 'original' because they stole it from lexus, but it like it. A few days ago I saw the 'newest' version this style, forgot the name of the brand and where I saw it, but I think someone else over here (or yourself) knows which brand I'm talking of.

Yeh, the Altezzas. Not my cup of tea, they're popular right now but I don't really like them myself and they're already "played out" in the US.

I like the red/white ones. They almost look like stock ones.

Red/clear is very clean. Mine are red on the top and clear at the bottom. I've seen that pic before. I think they are all clear and the bottom half has been painted candy apple red. It might be cheaper to do this.

If you are gonna go all clear and paint them let me know as someone on an 'Irish' forum can get all clears.

I like them very much! They´re looking like my stock Prelude lights except that the red is on top!

Btw, has anybody noticed that the rear wing is different from the OEM european rear wing, he has a third leg in the middle, while the original one is without.

Hey G,

I recently got a set of Lexus/Altezza lights for my car, now I know you don't like them but I think they look cool and I have never seen another coupe in Ireland with them!

Plus the fact that I got them for $110 incl. shipping

This is what they look like:

Reckon they could look good on your red Coupe but the clear lenses stand out too much against a black car IMO. I like the idea of them, but the clear always seems a bit much to me.

Actually I was surprised how well they looked when I fitted them
(even though it was a bit of a nightmare standing on one leg! - but I couldn't wait)

Thought this might interest you. ProCarParts have a set of red/clears on ebay. The current bid is $56 and is due to end later today.
