R33 head lights on a 5th gen

Here's that S2000 tail light conversion on a 5th G Lude.

what about on a 4th gen lude ? kinda stupid or not?

[buh_buh]

I think the S2000 tails don't look too bad on the Prelude. I'd like to see a Prelude with Lancer Evo VII tails though. But I don't think I've even heard of anyone doing that, so I'm not sure of they would look good. I don't know about the S2000 lights on the 4th gen either, because the 5th gen has a boxier rear end, and I think it kind of suits the S2000 tails (also because the stock 5th gen tails are a similar shape). But you never know unless you see it right? Maybe someone can photoshop that on a 4th gen. I'd do it, but I am terrible at photoshopping.

what do the Evo VII tails look like??

[buh_buh]

this is them:

I just want a different look that will also look good. I see too many Supra and IS300 tails that are grafted to other cars (on the net). That's why I'm trying to find a conversion that hasn't been done before or is rare.

[supafly1024]

Yeah, I like those Evo tails, they look pretty sweet. I'm not sure how the S2000 tails would look on a 4th Gen, who knows, maybe they'd look good.

[supafly1024]

S2000 tails on a 4th gen might look something like this. Hey, realize the image is kinda crappy but I threw it together in like 5 minutes.

[buh_buh]

the S2k tails would look not bad if they were a little higher up on the car I think. They kind of remind me of the Skyline tails.

[supafly1024]

I think you're right Buh Buh, I kind of like them on the 4th Gen, but you're right, they would have to be higher to look right.

[SickLude]

i dont know yall. they seem dispoportionate. (spelling..sorry)...dont they? the back is too big and the lights are too small..however, those Evo's are cooo....but again, on the big butt 4th gen....might not look that good. ill probably just leave my back side alone...and stick the Silvia lights on my front...

[buh_buh]

yeah, they are kind of disproportionate. But it'll be hard to find tails for your car that aren't made for your that will fit perfectly right? Good luck with your search for the right tails Sicklude. But I know the Silvia front end will look SWEEEET. I think I'm going with the Evo VII tails for sure. I just have to find them now. I've looked all over the 'net and I can't find them, so I think the only way I can get them is through the Mitsu dealer (I think the 2002 Lancer has the same tails as the Lancer Evo VII's) which means they'll charge me like $574038458349 for the tails.

[SickLude]

oh man, thats so true. try your best to find them some other way. you'll be charged waaaay too much.

yeah, I've tried my best. I've looked on like every site I could think of. How much do you think the dealer charges for tails like that? I think I've seen altezza tails for the Lancer, maybe I could just buy those and then paint them all red, or paint them the way they look like in the picture. I don't know, any help would be appreciated.

[SickLude]

considering lights like that from aftermarket are probably around 750-800 dollars....i would say about 1200 realisticlly from the dealer man. but dont take my word for it. give them a call and find out. also, painting them might be an alternative for ya, but i dont know how well that may come out ya know? you might be seriously disappointed by your work and you could hate it.

[buh_buh]

I'm willing to pay $7-800 for those lights (well not willing, but I will if I have to), but I just need to find them. I don't want to pay $1200+ to get them from the dealer. Does anyone know where I MIGHT even find them? Or does anyone know someone that might have them?
