taillight idea

Saw someone do this on the gd3 but used paint. I was thinking of doing the same thing on my tw ge8, but use glossy white vinyl instead.

here are some photoshop renders of what im talking about.




yay or nay?

I won't hate - it has potential. I think with the white strips you're going to need to tone down the rest of the housing with a bit of smoke. And LED lighting conversion

Don't need LEDS. Send him money and you will have them in two weeks. I have some pics up of my install.

i think he was talking about the JDM LED tails...

but on the vinyl... i think its a little tacky due unless ure going VIP. but if you do a clean paint job (since it would be easier to match your exact taffeta white NH578 on your car) on the tails, that'd prbly be a lil better

i wish the GE had more tail light options. ^__^
here's my tail light idea--follows and connects the vertical lines of the rear bumper edge up to the edge of the rear glass.

Wish they'd just stick them up in the pillars like the first-gen CR-V, current Mazda5, and somewhat like the new Fiesta.

It looks cleaner, they don't get smashed in fender benders, and you can see them from further back.
