Tail Light Over-Lay, Tail Lights Options

[JWalk1818]

Does anyone know where I can get another taillight overlay ecept for BAT's! I kinda want one that covers the whole light and leave small holes for the light to shine through.

I would say, go to a crafts store and get the stuff to do it your self. all you need is contact paper.

I don't think that you'll be able to find any tail-light overlays that will work for your car. If I were you I'd make my own vinyl overlay for the tails. You could paint them if you wanted to, but that would be permanent if you decided that you didn't like it. Too bad the Gang's Jail tail lights are only available overseas and only work with the JDM tail lights with the clear turn signals.

Are you sure that wont work on the US taillights? I dont want to paint them, in case I decided that i dont like the design. I know there was a car on the Net that posted some pics and he had some ,but everyone flamed his wing so bad I dont think he came back!

How about this rearlight convension? I'm plannig to do somthing like this to my celi. What do you think?

[JWalk1818]

Well that is also another idea but a costly one! It would run prob at least $400.00-$600.00 maybe more.

red them out fool. it'll look dope on a white hatch...don't do the vinyl stuff...booooooooo!!!

Actually, they'll fit, but the reverse light is in the wrong position, so you won't be able to tell when you're in reverse. Take a look at the position of the rear reverse lights in each tail-light assembly and you'll see what I mean.

By the way, redding them out would be what I would do as well. I think it'd look better than vinyl.

I'd ask them at http://www.takakaira.com if they can import some for you. Chances are that they can if those tails are still around in Japan, but I bet they'll cost quite a bit.

thanks for the pic coomer, i kinda like the way the stock lights look better than with the overlays though

Somebody should get ahold of roo. He may be able to get them for you. They will deff be the cheapest that you will find.

I would be interested if they were a decent price. Can someone contact him and tell him to contact me some how?

[boosted_K2]

im making one similar to what coomer posted (gangs jail) this spring... itll be made of fiberglass or plastic... not sure what i will make the lenses of (type of clear plastic)... ill hook you all up with a good price if they come out good!

EDIT: the ones i make will be for the USDM tails also.

[JWalk1818]

So your making the whole tailight piece or is it an overlay?

[boosted_K2]

im going to minipulate the outer cover, wether that is to completely remove it, or just lay plastic overtop of it and figure out a way to mold it on... not sure... im keeping the stock tail light housings but going to minipulate the outer lenses... im going to possably take a closer look at how to do that this weekend... ill keep ya updated.

[JWalk1818]

I wish somone would make a complete overlay like the gangs jail kit! Thats what Im looking for!

[boosted_K2]
