Ok, got a '87 RX-7, in pretty good shape, it's a good looking car (silver) but i cannot find any euro/altezza taillights for it, I was talkin' to the guy i bought it from and he said you can put the newer style taillights in with a little bit

of modding, is this true? and if so how?

why?!



:rice:



moderators, can we add a rice meter to the threads that the members can influence? so it can be shown in the thread listing the rice rating to avoid clicking on it :P

because i like the jspec with the circles, i dunno, just the type of person I am :P

oh and there are red dragons on the door panels, yep that pushed the tacky meter into overdrive....

but you said you were considering the s5 tail lights only because you could not find altezza style tail lights...



what difference does it make? unless your current ones are cracked or something, I think the riceboy style taillights are getting to be cheaper than OEM replacements because they sell so many. :eek:

These words do not belong in the same sentence and euro/altezza doesnt need to be in any sentence ever! :rant: That is unless of course your making fun of them.

i like non-factory taillights, let me put it that way, any HELP would be nice :P

there are no nonfactory tail lights for the fc, unless you are good with bondo https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

BONDO IT IS!!!!!!!! but none of u are really not answering the question, can i get a set of 92 taillights (preferrably jspec) and make adapt them to fit on my 87 without a whole shitload of hassle?

What the hell is it with people and J-spec.. Just get some series 5 lights.. 89-92.. and put-em in there. The series 5 lights are the ones with the two circles that light up when you press the brake..

I just got sick reading this. Thanks.

yeah



and they were installed @ the factory on s5 cars.

the 92+ lights are for the fd, it would take an act of god to fit them in the fc

the 89-91 lights are almost a bolt in deal



mike

Yeah, what he said...

what is wrong with u guys. euro/altezza taillights would look ******* tight on a 2nd gen. i should make the living **** outta u guys talking smack to this kids.

but on a serious note the lights from a 89-91 look a lot better then the 86-88 light. and yes they just pop in, u can find em cheap at almost any junk yard. oh but u will need an extra piece around the lisence plate, at least thats what i heard.

There is no difference at all between the 89-91 JDM taillights and the 89-91 USDM taillights. I heard somewhere that the JDM ones have a rear fog light like Audi and BMW do, but I'm skeptical on that.



Oh, and please god dont install any taillights other than factory onto an RX-7. If you want to be "different", modify the cars looks, but make it look better. Most people modifying cars looks today go for tacky rice crap apparently, so be different and make it look GOOD.



Heres an example

Not many people have a widebody TII, now hes got a different car that looks good and can fit wider tire under it.



Now that I have gone on my wild tangent against rice boys, just get the 89-91 style lights off any USDM RX-7, you wont have to pay 60 bucks shipping from Japan, and you get the same lights.



I don't suppose it's too much to try and get you to remove the dragon graphics on the side doors? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

i want 89-91 taillights too.. im hittin up the local junkyard as soon as the cars sitting in my driveway

I have some J-spec windshields for sale if anyone wants one

i can get jdm oil filters!



mike

LOL! :bigthumg:

actually the dragons are getting erady to go, gonna repaint it (original color tho, so relax), ok thanx for the info,

the guy i bought it from said 92 but he musta meant the 91's....that's all i needed to know, there will be a pic

of my 7 up prolly tomorrow, i am gonna go take a pic now..thanx ppl!

Yeah, must be a 91. Only in Japan did they sell the second gen in 92.

Thats the best LOL! My buddy was saying that at lunch.LOL

That widebody fc would look better if the moldings matched up.

it would look nice if it was the color changing wonder

Maybe santa will bring me a widebody kit. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

do they make some clear but smoked tailights for the fc's? i mean that would look tight not ricey, or is it basically the stock everywhere? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif

you can take the 89 lights apart and take the "smoked" part out
