sidewinderx7 12-15-2003 01:53 AM

yikes... mixed feeling...

JT-Imports 12-15-2003 01:55 AM

Yeah thats why I said alright hehe



I think maybe on a black FC or something, it might look cool. I mean I couldnt see them on a white or RED, FC, but thats just me.

sidewinderx7 12-15-2003 01:56 AM

yeah, definatly original ... ive never seen them before. black fc might be cool

kahren 12-15-2003 02:04 AM

put them on a black fc then well c https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...closedeyes.gif

BigTurbo74 12-15-2003 02:05 AM

haha wow! those sure are different, maybe smoked? have any pics of them lit up?

1Revvin7 12-15-2003 07:11 AM

I've seen knock-offs of those. They were on a white fc. Honestly they did not look that bad, but I still think the stock s5 looks better.

FCmaniac 12-15-2003 08:05 AM

hmmm, I don't know... I like Bigturbo's idea of smoked, might look good

Travisty 12-15-2003 08:31 AM

yeah i think smoked would look really good.

i am curious what those would look like lit up on a car though

SpecialT 12-15-2003 09:49 AM

I don't hate them.

Is the reflector red?

I would assume so, but with the flash I can't tell.

It would totally depend on the car, but they are pretty clean looking.

mr. gadget 12-15-2003 09:57 AM

Are those stock with the outer layer replaced with clear?

i.didnt.do.it 12-15-2003 10:12 AM

Nice, but too ricey for me...

Baldy 12-15-2003 10:18 AM

LED would make it cool

Rob x-7 12-15-2003 10:24 AM

I would take those and smoke the **** out of them and put them

on a black car.



custom made or are they available? Just curious as to the price

versus S5 tails, being as people with S5 tails think they have gold

on thier hands, lol.

lol...you can find both of em used for about $250. It crazy how over priced they are.

CrassFC3S 12-15-2003 10:44 AM

this one was used!!! it was from the local "import" junk yard ******* bastards! i hate them they over charge on EVERYTHING and its fucked up because i mean really the only option is them or the internet and i cant find them on the net

75 Repu 12-15-2003 10:45 AM

I like clear lights.. but not altezzas.. so I think they look good.. and the grumpy old man made a good point.. people sellin S5 lights wanna an arm and a leg.. so if these were priced good enough I would just get them instead.. and stick some LEDs in there..

how dare you call me grumpy

75 Repu 12-15-2003 10:59 AM

hahahaha....

1987rx7guy 12-15-2003 11:01 AM

Those are stock Tails. You can do that to all S5's tails you just break off the top layer which has the yellow and red coloring and it is clear. I think they are ok but I wouldn't spend money on them when you can do it to your own lights.

People only charge about $250 for a set.

Nemesis 12-15-2003 12:14 PM

I have a stock set for sale right now if anyone needs/wants them. $200 + shipping. PM me if interested.

4RotorRocket 12-15-2003 12:26 PM

I like em they would look great on a blue FC.

RONIN FC 12-15-2003 02:30 PM

It looks like a diffuser from a floresent light. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683698.gif

JT-Imports 12-15-2003 06:12 PM

S-5 tail lamps are always available.



These Clear ones are runnind approx $230.95 shipped a set. They are custom made by a shop.



Good ideas for them, but this mostly an info thing.



I might just pick them up for fun and throw them on my buddies FC and see about some pics. I dont know, I got some other stuff going on, but we will see..



Smoked sounds kind of cool.



I dont think they look all that rice, since they arent like EURO style lights, just white/clear

rx-7Drifter 12-15-2003 06:38 PM

s5 are better.

4RotorRocket 12-15-2003 08:28 PM

someone post a pic of these on a S5

RX7Aggie 12-15-2003 09:02 PM

needs a clear brake light above the hatch light to match...



they would look good on a black car, assuming all other lights were also clear. better not have stock rims though. i hate people that buy all these cheap exterior upgrades, and then have 14" rims or even worse, hub caps.



:puke:

buy them and put them on your FC, take some pics so we can see how they look

rotary_revolution_0 12-15-2003 09:11 PM

Sorry as this is a little off topic:



I have an '86 n/a with colored versions of those lights (red) and some guy offered me 600 bucks for them. I turned him down, cause I thought they looked cool. Should I have sold them, or are they worth more. I have the original tail lights, so I could put those back on there, but the red versions of the ones he posted are what I have on there, and it's a white FC, and I like red over clear.......



just my .02



tell me what you guys think about them tho.....

FikseRxSeven 12-15-2003 09:13 PM

that looks alright.... but i need to see it on a car to make a real decision

Leetheslacker 12-15-2003 09:21 PM

Would look HAWT smoked on a black Fc.

reamia 12-16-2003 08:38 AM

i think those tail lights would look good on a white fc if you paint the black trim white
