Taillights

Please give me your opinions on these taillight choices...

V-Tech Circles-


Blackout whole taillights- Use window tinting spray.

Only paint the center piece- possibly fill the keyhole while I do that.

I'm not sure if the V-Tech includes the middle piece, so I may have to paint the middle also if I get the V-Tech.


My car is black.
This is how it is now...

Re: Taillights

whatever that first pic with the covers is... I would go with that. I think it looks sharp. Nice and clean and custom. Probably won't be too incredibly expensive. and it's nicer than altezza's because everyone has them. Good luck on your choice. you have my 2 cents

Re: Taillights

That what I am leaning twords. And I am definitely not getting altezza's. The V-Techs are just covers, they are $50, then I have to get them painted.

Re: Taillights

I like the circles as well. I thought eclipse's came with a center piece that said ECLIPSE stock? Shows you how much I know about them.

Re: Taillights

They do, I took them off.
Or if your thinking about the other picture, the covers are only for the 2 sides. So you have to paint the middle. That is why the eclipse is still there, probally taped it off.

I liked the VTECH circles on THAT car... Not sure how it would look on a car of any other color..Think it might looks kinda tacky on a different color car... Probably looks great at night though....

I like the smoked or carbon fiber Altezzas on Black cars...

The middle section painted the color of the car looks damn cool on the silver ones..

Re: Taillights

It is flat black before, I want it to match my car's color. There are not many places that carry them, i think spiderautomotive.com is one.

IMO the V-techs look good on your car.

The V-Techs are the way to go. I'm not sure how they would look on any other color but they look damn good on black. Painting the center piece to match your body is a must.

Glad to see something different. I'm so sick of seeing altezzas(especially the ones offered for 2G eclipses, it's time some new ideas are brought out.

Re: Taillights

I got the v-techs and then I had them painted along with the centerpiece.

Before I put the covers on...




With the covers...





Ok now I need some opinions on what to do with the reverse lights...
Keep the blue
Make the lights the way there were before (clear)
