RSX tails in a hatchback

[ci5ic]

Does anyone have any pics of RSX tails shaved into a hatchback? I've been thinking about this mod for a while now, and it looks like these tails might be a nice fit, but I want to see some pics...

fitiment just doesnt look right...

Dammit... Now I remember seeing that pic a while back. That would look so sweet if they didn't stick out on the sides like that. Dammit. Well... Back to the ol' drawing board I guess...

Doesnt look right because he never finished. You can see on the left tail light, theres still a gap between light and the edge where old tail light used to fit up. I used to want RSX tail lights in mine, but i picked preludes.

ci5ic,
there is still hope. This guy should have moved the lights in closer so the the farthest part on the outsides went flush with the body, then recess the sheet metal into the fender to follow the contour on the angled corner. I don't know if I said it right but the farthest out part of the taillight should be flush with the body and the the rest of the contoured area can recess into the body. Get it, got it, nevermind.

i found this pic of a hatch w/ rsx tail lights. hope it helps

the hatch Synful posted is a better job then aces, on aces, it looks like the guy just took the lights out, and bolted the RSX in some kind of homemade quicky bracket, and bolted it to the back and didnt finish yet, ( at least i hope they didnt finish it yet. )
IhaveanSTD 's explaination is pretty accurate and everything. Thats what i did, took in the Lude's more to the center so they wouldnt stick out, cus u can always mod. the car, but not the tail lights.
make bracket that fits light, and car.. fiberglass gaps, etc

Yeah, that 2nd one looks tighter, wish I could see some more pics from different angles... That first one would only be cool if he molded in a wide-body that fit well with the part of the lights that sticks out...

Supra tail lights looking better just depends on the drivers taste and opinion.. but it would be ALOT easier to install them rather any kind of tail light with angles and shapes/curves.. the supras are just flat ovals.. and the back of our car is pretty flat anyways. So i'd imagine all you do, is fill it up w/fiber glass w/a cut out to fit the tail lights, make bracket to bolt in to the bottom of the bumper inside trunk area, and in the bracket, just include the cut outs in the back for the wires to the lights of course, and fill any gaps w/fiberglass.. b4 sticking tail lights in for good, sand dried fiberglass down really good to make sure its flush. Then any last adjustments you might have to make. Should be not too hard a job if you do everything right first try, and work consistantly.
