progress on taillight conversion
everyone has been waiting to see my car finished, but none as impatiently as me. heres a few shots of the latest progress. the rest of the bodywork is finished and primered on the whole car, just getting this taillight work welded was a pain in the butt. other than the bodywork, the only thing left to do is put CV shafts, shiftlinkage, and exhaust on it, and reinstall the interior. the engine bay looks especially nice since i ran braided SS fuel line with 6AN fittings everywhere to go along with all of my AEM fuel components. i also got rid of the red wire loom that everyone, eventually including me, hated. now its black, and mostly hidden. alas, those are pictures for another day (mostly when i clean all the bodywork dust out of there)
heres the prelude conversion as it sits right now, my friend who is doing the welding and fiberglassing insists hes gonna be done this weekend, and i believe he will, if he shows up. its getting him there thats hard. ok, 97+ OEM prelude taillight conversion on an 88 STD civic hatch       the other side, still welding

Very nice conv. job
I like it how it goes very slow and carefully so it won't look like shit in the end but it'll look like it's been always there like stock. Very good job done... One day when I'll save enough money I'll do the ITR tail conv. in our place just lights costs aprox.200$ (totally rip off) I can get the US ones for about 80$ or even less but I don't like those yellow corners...

Re: progress on taillight conversion
no idea how much they go for, ive never been interested in swapping with them. look on ebay, they have them all the time.
