Default 98-00 Tails

Besides Junction Produce, what kind of choices for new tails do I have? Fabulous has cool looking tails but doesn't list them on thier website.

Luxury mods has some for 500, but they just didn't look right to me. I do like Junction produce and fabulous...not the price tag though.

IVXX, not to get off topic, but I really like your exhaust, looks VERY sharp. Mind sharing what you did and where? Did you do away with the rear resonators? I'm a new member and have a like new '98 LS400, and am dying to accentuate the exhaust tips in a tasteful manner.

Oh yeah, I like the tailights, but still lean towards the originals. Still, they do look nice!

Ah I wish that was mine!! I found that pic on luxury mods.com i'm trying to find out how to do the exhaust like that but with dual tips. Anyone know about the exhaust deal?

Default JUNCTION / EBAY lights = same?

I really doubt junction produce fronted the money to make a mold for their own tail lights, the market isn't big enough.. most likely the one you get from them is the same as ebay one. Sorta like Uras and Origin and a billion other companies in japan selling taiwan lights as their own brand. That's what I've noticed for the 240sx market.

there aren't many choices, plus I personally dont think they look any good + their not cheap.
I would recommend "smoking" them, all you have to pay for is the special paint.
Here's a URL : http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/light...aillights.html

I havn't done it to my LS yet but planning on doing it soon.

i'm dumb I just looked at the pictures and didn't see the writing

If I buy mufflers from like... magna flow, do I need anything special to mount them to the car? My exhaust points downward would changing the mufflers put the exhaust tips striaght out the back? (when it comes to exhaust i'm a moron )

The tail lights we have on our site is from a JDM company called Xacta. We also customized the lights by removing the blinker inside so it gives them the crystal cut look. These are nice quality products. Not OEM quality, but high grade aftermarket.
The exhaust on the black LS is made by Magna flow. They're actually just welded on tips because we didn't want to go with a full exhaust system on this car.
