I think its a good that you're coming up with different ideas but your design is not really ideal for the SC..It looks way too busy, it doesn't flow with the original SC lines, and it looks out of place...The SC rear is perfect the way it is, its suppose to be plain, perky and round.. Just like the Jessica Alba in a bikini, its simply pure sexx...Why mess with perfection..;)

something like this....

What are your other ideas and options? You're also thinking about transplanting new tail lights, you mentioned? Honestly, I think red and clear would look incredibly clean on your car.

Well i was thinking bout making something along the lines of the New Nissan R33 GTR.... those tails are seam perfect, classy, sexy, elegant, aggressive.

I agree that clear would look clean but my tails seam so large and in charge :D I feel like they overwhelm the rear of my car. For example, have you ever turned you turn signal on and stepped out to look at it. If these tail lights were to talk they would say "MOVE B$&#@&% I AM TURNING" which isn't a bad thing but it doesn't seam that classy to me. So i guess i am looking for something fresh to update my outdated tails.

yikes! now i dont reallly like the one where only the bottom shows! the next one looks okay

SClean4 03-16-08 02:10 AM

Do you like these tail lights at all? Just wanted to give you different options:

I think the 92-94 tails would look good with the top clear. They would appear thinner. I think I know what you're saying about the big top turn signals looking bad but they're only on for a little bit so wouldn't really be that big of a deal. Does it really look that bad? Never really seen the 92-94 tails blink the turn signals but I'm sure it looks pretty big... Or you could buy some already cleared tails or do your own to some 95-00 tails.

SClean4:
I don't really care for the Euro style lights, I think they look like stop lights.

They current tails don't look to bad but I want something fresh and can't really come up with anything really good, that is why i am asking for CL advice and opinions.

I feel like everybody has cleared their tails and i would like to make something different. Don't get me wrong i think it looks good and clean but how bout a little twist on a old idea ??

Imitation of BMW E60 tails...

I like the first ones, they still look real to the car and they look really slick!

Unlike the Altezza "style"....blech!!

I've actually never seen cleared 92-94 tail lights that I know of. Mostly I see the 95-96 tails red/clear. I know it can feel like everybody has red/clear tails already reading this forum sometimes but in reality there's really not a lot of people with them, especially locally.

Maybe on a black SC, but overall it just doesn't look like it blends/flows.

pnyboy27 03-16-08 03:26 PM

the bmw rendition looks okay..not really feelin it so much though

the Alfa style tails would only work on a black car imho..

and why do you refer to the altezza style tails as euro tails.. the trend came from the US or japan..

we call those US tails over here btw.

pnyboy27 03-16-08 09:10 PM

yea...that design makes the rear look blant and just doesnt flow with the rest of the car. i think i prefer the rounder trunk instead
