Carbon Fiber Tails - Page 2

ramair4thesoul · 02-04-2008, 04:38 PM

What do you think about the new LED lights that are on ebay? I'm wondering if the red ones would look good on my car. I'm worried that the red won't match the color red of the car, expecially since I have red pearl on my paint. Those black ones look really good on that silver car.

i think the clear LED tails would look pretty sweet on a red car,even with pearl in it. just my opinion off course !!anybody have problems with those tails ??i am thinkin of goin with tyc black tails, or black or smoke led tails.of couse black tyc tails are discontinued.... i think . of course the cf ones are not too bad,i have a black car so...

I like the TYC tails much more than the altezza. Thought about getting the black or carbon off and on, especially since I have the black projector headlights. I wonder if you could take those clear LED ones and put the factory red cover in them, getting LED with factory appearance.

thats not a bad idea,but i tried seperating a set of stock tails once and farked it up !!i guess you would need the patience or plain old skill..which i dont have haha !!only thing i dont like about those led tails is in the way the bulbs are lined up.a 3 circular pattern of leds like tyc lights have would be sweet,i think that pyro did something like that right ??

I was thinking about that. I was behind a new G37 today and it has sweet led tails.

Man, the more I look at those the more I like them. If I get those I'll sell my black TYC lights that have been smoked.

Basically the same as the others, just with a clear lens. I don't really care for them, I don't like the LED pattern. Looks too generic IMO.

gtdreams · 02-05-2008, 04:44 PM

yeah, those g35 tails even look good not lit up !!the grand am led tails just look too cluttered up i think,like they used no imagination in the pattern.just my opinion.

pretty good,some clear gloss paint over the tint would look better though.just my opinion of course !!

Bryan · 02-18-2008, 05:55 PM

Yeah, I'd throw a few layers of CC on that.

BenGTH.O. · 02-18-2008, 10:10 PM

I sprayed on about 3 coats of high gloss clear coat but it didnt do anything.
