Default Custom Tailights

Hey people,

I Had time to waste last night while waiting on my bud, so I made these. Tell me what you think.

By the way, the car's pic is Bastien's one, give him the credit, I just edited his picture with paint lol.

IMO I think they look nice, not rice, just diffrent.

I'm not a big fan. I personally think it's hard to improve on Firebird tail lights.

Props for trying something different though - Get prepared for countless "rice" posts to follow.

Where in QC are you?

I think it would look great. As far as the design of these cars go, the tail lights are my least favorite feature. Not much on the honeycomb thing, looks like bug eyes to me. I've also fool'ed around in photoshop looking at different designs.

If you use good parts, and get the fit and portions right, aka do a nice clean job. It will look great.

To me, the ricer thing is basically doing something half ***, and then sticking LED's and stickers all over it

That's what I talk 'bout ricer ****, a Cavalier or Civic covered of stickers with some cherrybombs and clearlights.

Yeah I've been trying to figure out how to make these, as like taking the whole pod, and redoing the covers shape with new style lights. Now, where to find these lights. Impala, Corvette, Skyline, these looks like it, but now to see if they will fit.
