I dont know how to post up the pictures If there is anyone out there can you please post it up for me. I have 6 pictures haha

Web page not found

Why didn't you just post this in that thread?

fuckin ugly.... its still on the stock tires and rims and it has a wide body kit, let alone the ugly ass RSX tail lights - GAY!

i think it looks alright, better than i thought it would. But i would not spend the money for the RSX tails. I would have gone with something i little smoother and with better curves

it looks out of place and there is the spot were the center tail light was that looks all bondoed up

yucki. I wouldnt ever do a tail light swap for a 2G...I think the tail lights on our cars are an integral part of the cars character, setting it apart form others. blah whatever i love the stock shape. :)

that is juss to ugly. I hate kits. the car looks great how it is.

Leave the RSX lights for the RSX. It looks poser.

the guy that was looking for different taillights wasnt talking about a conversion, he was talking about a different design while keeping the 2g shape. Read the thread again, and dont start a new thread...like joe wagon said

I agree, the taillights on the Eclipse look just fine stock IMO
and tha pic, has little to be desired, there gonne need one badass offset rims to fill in the gap there :(

:thumbsdow :thumbsdow

yea you guys are right... it takes away what an Eclipse should look like. ill give him credit for doing it... what about those Supras..?? haha

u know what i was thinking? check this out. has anyone seen those plastic covers they put on the outside of the 2G tail lights, with the 3 circles? what if one was to cut up a stock tail light and "paste" the cover, with some filing and cutting, on the INSIDE of the light, them patch it up again with some JBWeld...the lights would look regular until someone braked or turned their llights on then youd see the 3 circles....pretty cool pretty simpler pretty not-interested? lol. I think Im gonna try it though just for kicks. (PS I posted a thread with a question asking why the eclipse halo lights did not come with 2 halos, and just one...someone said that the high beam was square not round...not tru, the aftermarket h-beam housing is round...)

:eek7:

:eek7:

yea i got lost too.

on my car it looks something like you were explaining... all i have is tail light black outs with cf altezzas, looks pretty nice when the lights are on! all you see is 2 circles for the lights on each side... but i am thinkin about getting rid of it, i like this look better and i am probably goin to change to it or put it on the GST

Just paint the altezzas with transparant red paint. Thats what them Mini truckin guys be doing. Looking hella cool too.

hellah fresh: Transparent paint? REally? Never heard of it man... is it any good? got any samples, reviews, links etc?

EclipseRST: HOW did you get that center light lit up PREFECTLY and evenly?? Dude that sht looks awesome, I want to do that now.

:loser:

Yes it looks Very good in fact. They use candy apple transparent red paint. Its actually hobby paint for model cars and they use an airbrush with several coats to apply it.

check his taillights out http://www.nissanminis.com/forum/album_personal.php?user_id=4574&;

It is an aftermarket taillight... BUT those taillights dont come in red like that because i also have a nissan truck and I know. It is the regular chrome altezzas like every other chrome ones. He has a post on that site telling that he painted it red. So it is aftermarket but he just tinted the clear part to make it red

Jake! The center tail light? How did you ligt it up!! I must know, the Force is with me ...arrgghh.

Where can i get this transparent paint? Do i have to get it professionally painted? thanks!

Guys, please read a little of this thread:

http://homepage.mac.com/landon/crxredtail.html

The guy says he used something called "stained glass" paint instead of transparent paint. Any comments?

Got it:

Jake, are you sure this eont affect light intensity?

Jake, I'm also very curious as to how you got the center taillight piece to light up that good. I've seen a few people try it, but they don't look near as good as yours. How'd you do it? Thanks :)

ITs hobby paint... just goto the hobby store that sells model cars and ask them for the Transparent cherry red paint and dont forget a clear coat. its probally around $10 dollars. Use an model airbrush kit to apply it so prolly nomore then $50

do they have other colors?

jake were u at? r u gonna tell us how to do it. I wanna know it looks good on it. i want to be the only eclipse in my town with that kind of backlights.

yeah im pretty sure is they have cherry red.. they should have others.


airbrushkit = $35-$40 dollars
paint = $10 dollars

all Red Altezzas = Priceless

you can get that aerosole can airbrush thingy at wal-mart... at the model car section

hahaha
