I am not a real big fan of these lights, but like superchannelkev said if the person who did this likes it more power to him. Also if someone puts corvette seats or wheels on there car is that a bad thing? No. Some people like certain aspects of other cars that they don't have with theirs.

[rant] Right so calling those tail lights rice because they're from a different car is like calling someone else's work rice because they put transam seats in their camaro. People need to learn what the definition of rice is. I don't think he put those tail lights on with the intent of looking faster. [/rant]

In any case, as others have stated if he did it himself, then damn good job!

People call it rice because it's from a japanese import on an AMERICAN car.

Very unique.

Not my favorite choice of lights, though.

Very well done in fit, quality and craftmanship.

Pretty unique and looks be done quite well. I personally like the stock lights a lot better and wouldn't do these supra lights if I had a firebird... but I don't consider it "rice"

No, its not my car. Just one I ran across. I like it. Especially since it was custom done, and done right not half ***. Although personal, I think I would have left the bird in the middle. Maybe somehow redone it but atleast I would have have something there.

I think it looks good. Might even look better in a different color.

Coodoes to the guy that did it. Ricer or not. Gives the car a custom touch without going overboard. Now had he of changed the wing.... well..... that would have ruined the car.

I still cannot comprehend why people mix and match different body parts from different cars, let alone that they would put a set import tail lights on a domestic fbody. I love the way Supra lights look...on a Supra.
