i get your opinion but just because their shitty to you doesnt mean you have to hate on them. i personaly like them a lot.

and for all those comments on "shoulda noticed them before you bought the car" are not needed, honestly i got this response when i complained about the car not being fast enough.... you dont decided what car you want and have let the final say be deciding on the looks of the tail lights... there other things that out wieght em.

 

just get them sprayed. Good body shops will know about this technique. They spray it with transparent candy apple red. Keep in mind that this is permanent. It will tint your tailights a dark red. It's an old skool trick used by many so cali show cars back in 1995 so on....old chevy's used this as well..

 

altezzas are good
i like them
they make me happy

 

hate hate hate

The tail lamps look VERY cool on silver RX8s

 

Damn dude. I'm convicted. But after I get my intake, I'll get some clear corners.

What makes the lights rice? Is an Altezza rice? Is anything Civic owners do in aboundance rice? And who's idea was it to call a particular kind of taste rice? Why not maccaroni? Why not grits? You know like, "Man, you see the size of that wing. Now that's just straight up grits!"

I'm fine with the tail lights. But if you want to customize ... please do a DIY. A lot of people may think your work is tight (or grits LOL). But seriously, do your thing man. I'm sure it'll be tight.

 

Though maybe some guys can see what he is saying.. that doesn't mean they agree...

it just means.. if they tilt their head.. get a little boozed up.. and maybe get knocked in the head.. they might possibly see what the guy is saying about our tail lights..

however... i'm sure most of us after thorougly examining the car... determined... damn this car was well put together.. and even the little details were examined... personally i love how they look... though I've never been a fan of altezzas...

altezzas don't look bad on altezzas.. altezzas look bad on riced up trucks...

why would they make their trucks look japanese??? they're so proud of domestic power and this and that.. whatever..

anyway.. there aren't many solutions.. i already suggested that he buy the red sticker stuff that goes over the covers.. or.. paint it with transparent paint...

so in fact.. we did try to help

 

HAHAHAAHHA TOO FUNNY!

 

Here we go with all this rice crap again

 

btw.. that silver rx8 is hot... whats it facing off with?


and they look good on titanium grays too... wonder what galaxy gray will look like...

i hope i don't like it more than my titanium

 

I'm going to have to agree with the "get clear corners" sentiment. Clear/silver is more subdued than orange, so I would argue that it's less ricey than orange. Especially on a black or silver car; on a red or orange car maybe orange corners are okay. Clear corners may be favored by the droopy pants Honda crowd, but that doesn't make them automatically bad--even a broken clock is right twice a day, you know? They also like aftermarket wheels, so should we avoid different wheels then too?

 

NICE! :D :D I'd post more but the manage attachment thing is flaking out on me...and I'm too lazy to do an imageshack/tinypic setup :o

 

It's only rice if you have to CHANGE your stock part to another part

like: civic lights---->altezza

how is it rice if it comes stock?

 

Yeah I gues thats about right, but a car that comes to mind is the Evo, which appears to have factory rice. Good ahead and tell me how the wing provides down force yada yada yada...

 

I'm not going to flame this guy, for however misconstrued, he is entitled to his opinion. Having said that I obviously don't agree, but I understand that he doesn't like people to associate his cars with the average ricer.

Ok. You could open your taillights and paint the silver areas red or black, depending on your taste. You could even use that black out/tint stuff that covers the tailights. That should give them a different look.

 

The mazda 6 came with altezza lights also, apparently they can be baked at certain temperature stated in the manual and change into the black one like the newer version. Wonder if the RX-8 lights can be done also?

 

Sure you can. I just picked up a set of headlights off ebay. I opened them up using a heat gun as opposed to baking them. Just keep the heat gun moving in sweeping motion for about two minutes, per section. If you keep it on one spot you'll be SOL. I'm too much of a wuss to bake them .

 

Here is a suggestion that I am keen on learning more about: The new special edition 8 on display right now in Tokyo said in the description "black bezel taillights". I have yet to see them in any photos, but it sounds like a good place to start looking. If they look good I'll definitely consider swapping stock for this style. It should reduce the "loud" altezza style of the stock that I too do not care for.

 

i agreed with what alcimedes said about not giving you such a hard time, until you typed that out. just because people dont have the same taste as you means that their taste is bad.

 

let's kill him

 

If only we had sharks with friggin laser beams. Then we could teach them to laser etch the taillights!

If its a black car, just tint the lenses. Done properly it'll look fantastic. Done half assed it'll look horrid.

 

I agree with crossbow, if it bothers you that much then just smoke them. It could look really cool.

 

fyi take out the tail light, bake in oven, black out reflectors/smoke it, epoxy tailighht back together

ive used his stuff on the RX8 fog lights and head lights, pre-cut kits for the RX8 head/fog lights, i think he might have tail lights too.

If not, just buy a sheet, just it, apply it and stretch with hair dyer. will look great.
