View Full Version : Whats your pick? Tail Lights

Pages : [1] 2 Davis04-16-2007, 10:49 PMI was wondering what you guys out there like better.

91-93 tail lights
or
94+ tail lights
or
Others, such as Rev6 tail lights or other tail lights.

I know that most would prefer the 94+ tails, but i like the look of the 91-93 tails. Maybe it's because they've grown on me. :) Ben04-16-2007, 10:51 PMAdd A Poll (As You Know, 97% Will Be In Favor Of 94+). I Say Keep The 91's! Davis04-16-2007, 10:52 PMI was in the process of adding the poll dude. You post to fast. :lol: Tommy122304-17-2007, 12:14 AMi use to like the 91-93 better but the 94+ grew on me PETC04-17-2007, 12:41 AMA CLEAN set of 91-93's look good with the '93 spoiler I think.

But the combo '94 tails with '91-'93 center piece looks awesome too. jlantz8504-17-2007, 12:52 AMin the poll im going with 94+, but my favorite are the 94's with 91-93 centerpeice. Tearstone04-17-2007, 12:23 PMConsidering the cost to upgrade to the 94+ tails, the 91s function just fine. I don't care, it came with the car :) auto04-17-2007, 12:35 PMI lovethe 94+ tails. If I had $300 to throw down, I'd get them. Davis04-17-2007, 08:37 PMBut the combo '94 tails with '91-'93 center piece looks awesome too.


in the poll im going with 94+, but my favorite are the 94's with 91-93 centerpeice.

Yea, i really like the look of the 91/94 combo. Quick question, i always wondered...where would the reverse lights go? :lol: RePete04-17-2007, 08:53 PMI had the '94s installed just last week with the body colored center panel, my old ones were cloud city so I simply gave them away no charge.

Beautiful! I love the new ones. What I admire about them are two things: they update the car to the present and they add even more elegance and class to an already awesome design. :)

I did notice one not so good thing, the reverse lights aren't as powerful or disperse light as well as the old design - something that comes in handy in a darkened garage w/ close tolerances. hmong33704-17-2007, 09:09 PMAdd A Poll (As You Know, 97% Will Be In Favor Of 94+). I Say Keep The 91's!

so true... 94+ all the way jlantz8504-18-2007, 12:22 AMYea, i really like the look of the 91/94 combo. Quick question, i always wondered...where would the reverse lights go? :lol:

reverse lights are overrated NIXmx04-18-2007, 01:48 AMHow do you fit the zenki center part on the kuki lights? turbomr2198704-18-2007, 09:35 AMi got two cars both 91's and i got diff taillights on both. I think that they both look good and think that its not worth the money to buy the one that you dont have.
Zenki, Kuki, it dont matter they are both sexy!!!! monopolizedinc04-18-2007, 11:21 AM94+ with the 90-93 center ;) phzoinkMKII04-23-2007, 04:38 PMI prefer the 91-93. Luni04-23-2007, 05:04 PMI like the 91/93 with the 94 center better than the 94s with the 91 center.

I dont like the 94s cause if you look at the shape of the taillight they look kinda like corvette lights... They look kinda gaudy to me.

I dunno, a clean set of 91-93s looks pretty sharp. Davis04-23-2007, 06:21 PMI've never seen 91 tails with a 94 center panel. Always wondered how it would look though. Any pics? :) Hiighboost204-23-2007, 08:00 PM94+ tails ftw RePete04-23-2007, 11:26 PMhttp://www3.telus.net/ssweb/Tails.jpg canadam05-05-2007, 12:37 PMcool pic, Pete :) Davis05-05-2007, 02:07 PMThat is a cool pic. :) Mekkahfire05-05-2007, 02:27 PM94+, they add an updated look, and somehow make the rear look wider. PhatBoyMR205-07-2007, 12:29 PM94 tails look the best on mr2 Matt33ttam05-08-2007, 08:41 PMJust bought a 93 MR2 for a daily driver. Probably the best daily driver I will ever own. I have an awesome RX-8 but It only gets 16MPG. I am new here so please do not flame. I will just come out and say I do not know much about the car but I am wanting to put it back to showroom condition. How hard is it to put '94 "style" tail lights in my 93? Will they just bolt on with a new center garnish plate? What about the lock? Can you set up your trunk for remote release? And where do I get a center garnish that I can paint that will work with the lights? Thanks for your help. Davis05-09-2007, 09:34 PMhttp://mr2.noegruts.com/t-lights/t-lights.htm Here's a link to how to convert 91' to 94' tails, there's pictures to, so that will help a bunch.:) Gairloch05-09-2007, 10:10 PMWhat about the lock? Can you set up your trunk for remote release?

There is a truck release switch inside the car. It's just behind the B-pillar on the driver's side below the quarter window. tksmr205-24-2007, 11:45 AMI like the 91/93 with the 94 center better than the 94s with the 91 center.

The 91-93 look like Camry lights. Weasy2k05-24-2007, 11:52 AM91-93 :) Cheaper too :P phzoinkMKII05-29-2007, 08:55 PMDon't forget they are more available. Kurdain06-13-2007, 12:11 PMI went with black Altezza lights and tinted them to match my windows and the fact I want to eventually paint my car black.

They are brighter in my opinion than the stock lights as well.

More pics and video on our website. Matt33ttam06-17-2007, 07:09 PMI went with black Altezza lights and tinted them to match my windows and the fact I want to eventually paint my car black.




That is exactly the look I am going for. Is that the same center piece I ordered from you? And how did you tint the lights? Were you able to tint them from the inside? Did you spray tint them? I am not sure if the Altezza lights can be taken apart. My Altezza set is here already and so is my lock cylinder. Just waiting on my big box to come across the pond with my spoiler and center piece.

I actually am a big fan of the 93 tails that are on my car. I just hate the stock "honeycomb" center piece on the 93's. I just cannot stand the look of the 94+ tails nor the rectangle cut outs for the reverse lights. I think the car shoud be a lot cleaner in the back.

Thats a stock 94+ center piece, I just tinted the reverse lights to match the panel. If you look super close you can see the reverse lights, they are a tad lighter by design.

No I could not take apart my tail lights, so you have to tint them from the outside.
You also MUST reseal the edges all the way around the tail light lense or water will get inside, I used black silicone for this.
I tinted them with VHT Niteshades, LIGHT coat after LIGHT coat, doing all parts at the same time to make sure I got even tinting. VHT Niteshades runs VERY EASILY. I slightly warmed the lights to make the VHT dry a little faster, but not much, BARELY warm to the touch - just used a hair dryer for a few seconds right before spraying - NOT to dry it afterwards...
After I got the desired tinting I used a can of Krylon clear and used the entire can on the lights, it was on the order of 4 coats. I thought about buffing them but they actually turned out pretty darn smooth so I decided not to mess with it.

There are other pics and videos on the website and also older pics on carpron (search for jeremy mr2) if you want more looks.

I spent little over 3 days doing the lights. I was pretty meticulous....

Also I recommend checking fitment as I had to file a few edges on the backs of the lights to get it to fit flush. Also I painted the backs black as they come silver and it is easily seem between the cracks. Matt33ttam06-17-2007, 08:03 PMTake a look at this Before and After: I kind of like the after look. And to whoever's GREAT car this is...sorry for the Photohacked "After" version. It was just an eay one modify.

After

That is kind of the look I want. I know I have to have reverse lights. I just like them where they are on the 93 tails. turbomr206-19-2007, 07:37 AMgotta go 94+ Bak@EMSPowered06-19-2007, 04:06 PMI'm tempted to try the black altezza's on my car. RePete07-10-2007, 01:08 AM...I know I have to have reverse lights. I just like them where they are on the 93 tails.

As I've posted just recently, the '93 tails are superior in the amount of light they throw and where they throw it. I noticed a big change (for the worse) when I had the '94 conversion kit installed, the new reverse lights are just OK in the function department.

Hmmm, you're pic looks familiar...

Quick question, i always wondered...where would the reverse lights go? :lol:

sweet you used my car as an example.

Im a big fan of that look too. as for the reverse lights, you can a) drill in some led's B) attach a light under the bumper, or C) dont use them

I chose not to use them only because i havent gotten around to it yet.
If anyone wants more pics i have some at home i can post after work Davis07-10-2007, 03:21 PMOh so that's your car! I was wondering who's it was. :lol: I would love to see more pics please. :) Hmmm I'd probably leave the reverse lights out until i can find a place where i would like them. Mr Deuce07-10-2007, 06:26 PMidk if facebook hosting allows me to post the pics so i might have to rehost these but heres some:

The design flows better. I always confuse Gen3 Camry back lights with the 91-93 MR2 lights.

From far away, I'm always like, "Oooooh an MR2." Then I get up closer and it's a freakin Camry.

I don't know about you guys, but I don't want the back of my 2 being confused with a Camry. Thankfully the Gen 3.5 Camrys changed the MR2 look-a-like rear lights. megadivers07-22-2007, 10:12 PMNewbie question here....How did you mate the early panel with the 94 lights? The early is square and the later panel is rounded.... Did you get the dremel out and start carving? Davis07-22-2007, 11:42 PM^Yep you have to dremel it. :) mr2willwin07-23-2007, 02:34 PMMy car is white, I just bought some 94+ tails, the center is coming in black, should I put it on until I can paint the car? or paint it white?

My vote is for 94+, depending on the style the car has gone, I like both center panels. I personally will go with the 94+ panel. Mr2crazybyong07-29-2007, 09:29 AM94+ ftw! but my old tails grew on me after i tinted it all red for a cleaner look.. but still gonna get the 94s in the future :) ..

Everett08-01-2007, 05:45 PMI like the Rev. 6 lights! I've got them on my 91 and I get rave reviews. Check them out in my member garage. Everett08-01-2007, 05:49 PMI like the 91-93/94+ hybrid lights!! First time I've seen them........that $hit's hot!!! sickof5sfe08-02-2007, 08:47 PMsomewhere I saw an MR2 with a clean R33 tail light conversion...if i could find the video I saw of that I would post it up here..it looked really nice and it was unique too datguydeni08-08-2007, 09:20 PMmr deuce show more pictures i like it =) . Out of curiosity dide you just cut it and it just fit on perfectly? or was there other road blocks that you've encountered? Davis08-09-2007, 12:18 AMmr deuce show more pictures i like it =) . Out of curiosity dide you just cut it and it just fit on perfectly? or was there other road blocks that you've encountered?

Once you've dremel it to fit, there's going to be gaps at the top corners of the grill that are Noticable Up Close, but if you want that oem freshness just slap on some fiberglass. ;) JRS_MisterTwo08-19-2007, 07:15 AMI like the 91-93 taillights for now.
I also like the 94+, but i hate how the reverse lights look in the centerpiece.
Is there a way you can get the reverse lights in the taillight itself?
Here are some picks of taillights with the reverse light in them :

http://www.japtuning.ch/media/sw20_Heckleuchte_black.jpg RePete08-19-2007, 07:53 AMIf those are Alteeza tails, and they sure look like them, then you'll regret mounting them - and I don't mean because of their looks. Their quality isn't anywhere near Toyota quality, they're cheap-ass stuff that belongs on a wrecker. :) JRS_MisterTwo08-19-2007, 08:14 AMyeah, i just like that the reverse light is in the taillight.

http://mr2.noegruts.com/t-lights/after4.jpg

After seeing the picture above, it convinced me to get 94+ tails. Maybe its because my MR2 is white too =) datguydeni08-19-2007, 01:07 PMummm where does the signal light go then? JRS_MisterTwo08-19-2007, 04:35 PMummm where does the signal light go then?

^ :lol: ... good question. DarkMousy08-22-2007, 07:14 PMI guess I'm in the minority but 91-93 or custom ftw... I used to love the 94+, but after seeing them more and more they remind me of rsx lights and they take away from the car's flatness. Kurdain08-23-2007, 03:57 AMThere is no reverse light in the MR2 altezza tails, that is the turn signal.
It uses a yellow bulb to give it the yellow color. kawasakizx63608-23-2007, 07:36 AMI was wondering what you guys out there like better.

I know that most would prefer the 94+ tails, but i like the look of the 91-93 tails. Maybe it's because they've grown on me. :)

poll results prove that the 94+ tail lights are the best, i just got mine and installed them myself. the fitment is perfect and they look awsome. but if you like the 91-93, then stick with them MuMan09-13-2007, 11:57 PMThose Rev6 lights are like disgusting..especially the round ones:omg: Tycoon78809-14-2007, 12:48 AMPersonaly, i like the 94+ lights... looks better on a black 2... but im not so much for the 300+ it costs to get them.. and i really dont wana mess with re-doin the lock myself.. but who knows.. i might get them anyways sooner or later. MRtuned09-14-2007, 12:35 PMI was really set on the entire 94+ setup, but that 91-93 center looks great in there, plus the lock works. I think I'll go that route first off and just put some fog lights under the bumper. june09-15-2007, 08:14 PMI lovethe 94+ tails. If it much cheaper, i'll get it! 2Crooky09-21-2007, 03:25 PMEveryone in the UK is upgrading to the 94+ rear lights making the 91 style really rare!!!

I'm gonna be keeping my 91-93 lights as you just don't see them anymore:) Oteck01-08-2008, 07:17 PMi want a 94 with all red. tinting not an option for me as it will take away the rich color (tinting makes it darker)

Yup, should be back in stock in about 1-2 weeks I think.



no reverse lights, key hole, or mr2 emblem on them?
Look closer, the reverse lights on 90-93 lights are built into the light assembly :) But no, no keyhole. Personally i've never once used a keyhole on an mr2 anyway. Just pop it from the cabin ;) b.18tuner587503-18-2008, 05:54 PMare you able to see through that black panel baktasht? what i mean is that i would like to install some neons over the mr2 simple, somthing like the jdm panel with the light up mr2 symbol, it would just be nicer to have that panel over it as protection and have that uniqueness Basement Digital03-19-2008, 02:42 PMPersonally, even if I liked the '94's better; I'd never be able to justify the expense. $300-400 goes a long way for performance.

Price is in POUNDS not Dollars, double that for the USD$$ amount, plus international shipping and duties....all based on the insane exchange rate.

The weak USD sucks. :( mk2Josh03-26-2008, 01:57 AM91 all day MR2SW2203-26-2008, 02:07 PMPrice is in POUNDS not Dollars, double that for the USD$$ amount, plus international shipping and duties....all based on the insane exchange rate.

even more to my point, thanks for the info. Redfox04-02-2008, 11:38 AMI think the 91's + look better because the reverse lights doesn't replace the MR2 emblem in the middle.Other then that if the 94's + had reverse lights where they should have been i would love them or i can always have 94 without reverse lights but isn't that against the law? charto91104-02-2008, 08:24 PMis there anything special I would have to do and how much should I look to be spending to do the 94 lights with the 91 center panel?. ZachAttack04-07-2008, 12:51 AMI'd have to say at least at night, the Revision 6 tails look the coolest to me.

However the 91-93 looks great with certain kits like the Palatina ZachAttack04-10-2008, 06:50 PMis there anything special I would have to do and how much should I look to be spending to do the 94 lights with the 91 center panel?.

If you can fab it yourself with some fiberglass you'll save a ton. I'd pay for a good bodyshop, though.

Are you the guy who helped me get my yellow '91 down the road last month? If so I wanted to say thanks again. There was a LOT that tom didn't be honest with me about, but at least it's running ok. Good thing I live so far away....I'd be in jail REDTWO04-27-2008, 06:01 PMIf I wanted 94 taillights, I'd buy a 94. The 91 taillights are one of the distinguishing features of my 91, even thought purists will point out my 93 lip. I didn't say it was that pure, just my taillights. lmoua_0704-30-2008, 10:46 AMcould you have the 91-93 center piece and 94+ tailight.. would there be no reverse light?? srry im a noob!! mr2slo4u04-30-2008, 01:11 PM94 tails FTMFW

94 TAILS>Anything else sinESter05-01-2008, 06:58 PMits not hard. basically you swap the 91's for the 94's. thats how mine are. no reverse light, so either A. back in, or B. be very aware of your surroundings. and plus with the brake light on the roof tap the brakes everyonce in awhile and you'll be fine. i've never had issues. shiux05-07-2008, 06:04 PMThinking about doing the altezza 94+ tinted OEM red.

I think that Im just going to tint the 91 tails to red and everything else in my car in the end will be 95+ (wing, engine, axles, front lip, brakes, etc.) mk2Josh05-07-2008, 11:39 PM91's all day every day cause there JDM tight YO!!! :D shiux05-15-2008, 10:21 PMI bought Chrome Altezza 94s, Im looking for some Tint (like VHT Nite Shade) to make them red.

PAINT:
LENS PAINT (http://www.matrixracing.com/p-4116-red-tail-lamp-color-spray-red.aspx)

VINYL:
VINYL (http://www.jdmuniverse.com/forums/view.php?pg=allredtails)

To find more sources for the red tail light spray, google "lens painter" or "Red Tail Lamp Spray". I suggest buying from ebay. Some have used Testors "TRANSLUCENT Candy Apple Red" and clear. You could get Testors paints from most craft stores. For the vinyl, you could google "translucent vinyl" or check locally.

Nice, I thought about doing that to my black '91 but I think it would be too much black. Did you use the VHT product or automotive paint? Does anyone know how I could sand the paint off of mine and get them to shine again? The previous owner thought it was necessary to paint them black with little circles left for the light to shine through. Yeah, they're gay.:( oldster07-01-2008, 12:24 AMThanks for the kind comments. They were done by Jon's Tinted Tails in Randolph, NJ. His website tells how they are done. Other than some polishing compound in some of the cracks I was very pleased with how they turned out.

But if the aesthetic appeal is too great to ignore, get something
from a different year (or used aftermarket) that looks stylin' for little dinero.
My 95 V6 Stang is very fast and cheap, but it is subtle in appearance.
It has 96+ tails with sequential tri-bar blinkers and Cobra R rims, and C springs.
Very subtle and tasteful, but catches the eye nicely! simplesauce07-29-2008, 08:19 PMI love the look of the 94+ tails, but I don't think they are worth the money. MR2 Drifter08-15-2008, 09:18 PM94+ are cool but I would never spend that much on tail lights, if I could get them for $100 then yeah I'de buy them datguydeni08-16-2008, 12:48 AMexactly thats how much i got mine for, though it was just the L and R with a carbon fiber center panel. There was no reverse lights but that doesn't bother me. i had to do a lot of wet sanding the previous owner painted the whole thing red, and it was oxidizing such an ugly scene. but it looks better now. i haven't had the time to do the full Restoration of the tail lights but one day i will hehe. Oh since mine is an N/A and a swap isn't in the near future. I prefer to go for show/clean car status. which happens to include 94+ tail lights ^^ masagsxr09-19-2008, 01:42 AMin the poll im going with 94+, but my favorite are the 94's with 91-93 centerpeice.

Anyone has this installed? I've been wondering for a while how this looks in reality. I just think about it on my head everytime I see 94+ tails.... I have a 91 myself but do like how the 94+ taillights and want the 91-93 center with it.

Nevermind... found it... thread was too long I just read the first couple of pages hahahaha.. sorry about that ya'll Basement Digital09-25-2008, 08:17 PMI just picked up this center panel. I love it! I'm thinking about making the corners red too, but it looks nice and "JDM-tight, yo" at the moment. :lol:

YouTube - SW20 TRD 2000GT halo43432110-24-2009, 03:04 PMI opted for the 94+ tail lights with the 94+ center plate for my 91 SW21. I like that look. The original was good but I like the newer style a little better. Plus, where else on the 91s do you really have black plastic that has a grid feel to it? This is why I opted for the 94+ centerplate. I thought about keeping the original 91 centerplate and adapting it for the curves of the 94+ tail lights, but decided against it for the specific reason of what I thought looked more pleasing to the eye (imo). I have the parts on order and cannot wait to install them when they arrive. I will keep the old components just in case. alphaerror10-29-2009, 12:56 PMlooks good.

no reverse lights? does it fit w.o mods? datguydeni03-13-2010, 12:57 AMwhat does? if you mean to put the entire 94+ tail light assembly on to any pre-94 then you would need to make room for the reverse lights in the center panel. Basically take a hammer and take a couple of swings to make room for them to fit in. that would be the only mod.

The link most people use when installing these tail lights. MR2 Taillight Modification (http://mr2.noegruts.com/t-lights/install.htm)

if you mean 94+ lamps with the 91 center then you would need to do some cutting on the center panel (sort of make the sides round for the lamps to fit it's not a lot of cutting, just a little bit) tadamany04-01-2010, 02:30 PMI like the 94+ tail lights. They are clean, sleak, and easy to clean probably unlike the center piece on the '91. BUT, I'm keeping my '91s on for a couple reason:

1. They are rare(r).

2. They are far from being rice, not that the '94 is rice, but swapping out the tail lights is the first thing a ricer does. You never see a rice MR2 with '91 tail lights. EVER

3. There's something to be said about an all stock MR2.

4. It's one less thing I have to spend money on.

5. If I did swap them, I would end up braking something and regret it.

Most of this seems like just an excuses to keep 91 tails. There are far more MR2's with 91-93 tails than 94+, regardless of what pictures show, so 91 tails are not more "rare."

Anyone calling 94+ tails "rice" needs to grow up and jump OFF the "rice" bandwagon. I hate that term. People throw it around all the time, calling anything they don't want to do, can't afford, or don't like "rice." Saying one is rice for converting their 91-93 to 94+ tails soon after purchase is another gross exaggeration.

That said, I can respect the reasoning of one less thing to send money on, and wanting to keep a stock MR2. Each car person is a little different, and not everyone wants to spend money on the same thing. What's good for one person might not be good for another. tadamany04-02-2010, 11:27 AM^ Eckoman, I didn't say 94+ tail lights were rice, DID I? Actually I said the opposite.

This is the comment that got to me...


not that the '94 is rice, but swapping out the tail lights is the first thing a ricer does. You never see a rice MR2 with '91 tail lights. EVER

I'll explain what I didn't like, but after this let's take it to PM land. We don't need to clutter up the thread :)

I hate the word rice, and I hate it when people make generalized assumptions like "You never see a rice MR2 with '91 tail lights. EVER"

I also didn't like that "not that the '94 is rice, but swapping out the tail lights is the first thing a ricer does." It implies that someone is rice for swapping in 94 tails soon after they get an MR2, which I think is wrong. (For the record, I still have 91-93 tails).

Anyways, back to your regular programing people :) tadamany04-02-2010, 03:34 PMThis is also my last comment about this topic. I didn't mean to ruffle feathers.

That custom setup looks pretty sick, I like it. You did the LED install yourself? You have some skills man!!

THERE'S NO DENYING THAT 94+ ARE THE BEST BUT I DON'T MIND HAVING 91-92 TAILS.FORGET IT I WANT A LOTUS EXIGE. beachbum08-21-2010, 11:43 AMI like em both. but will probably end up putting the 94+ lights on mine eventually but with the 90-93 center. wagonis08-22-2010, 01:44 AMI'm about to go 94/91 hybrid myself but wanted a reverse light so here's what I did.

I just bought a set of 94+ tails but got the Japan spec so the corner lights are not drilled and I'm gonna leave it that way so the corners are not functional. Also ordered the MR2 logo light kit from Ben in white/red and he's making the circuit work that while in reverse the MR2 logo will light up in white, otherwise the logo will be red.

So there you have it, 94+ tails with the 91 center panel AND working reverse lights. :D beachbum09-03-2010, 08:29 PMI'm about to go 94/91 hybrid myself but wanted a reverse light so here's what I did.

do you have pics of this installed? wagonis09-04-2010, 01:39 AMdo you have pics of this installed?

:( No I don't, I realized that since my rear end is busted up some (last owner got rear ended twice) the old tails actually bent with the body, so the new tails don't fit. Now I have to put them aside until I repair the body first. :undecided beachbum09-04-2010, 08:19 AMthat sucks. wagonis09-04-2010, 12:59 PMthat sucks.

I know, I was all psyched to get the tails on there. Took out the 91 tails harness, clipped off the reverse and corner lights, capped them off and put everything in the 94 tails and started putting the on...and walked away with my head lowered in shame. :( beachbum09-04-2010, 02:31 PMlol. get that thing fixed so you can put em in. s15civic10-22-2010, 04:57 AM94+ tails ftw. I picked up a set of 94 tails for 52 dollars shipped off ebay. Cracked corner but my 91 corner fits perfect. Just have to be patient and you can find what you want for a awesome deal. Now on the search for a stroker motor and twin disk clutch for a deal. ;) Yeah the 91 corner doesn't fit properly. Heytheremr210-22-2010, 10:01 AMThe corner light off a 91 will not fit in the corner of the 94 lights. datguydeni10-22-2010, 02:28 PM^yeah they're not suppose to fit o.0

Yeah, the Tom's louvers on the 91-92 look straight out the 80's. They really cheapen the look of the car. The 93-95 Tom's center piece (T020) looks much better than the 91-92 piece does.

I've had this setup in my head for about as long as I've had the car, just never got around to it and never thought about how to light up the logo...then I saw the kit and couldn't pass up on it.

Oh nice!! Pics this weekend :D

Yeah, I've had a few projects like that, ones which sat in my head for years as I figure out the perfect way to do them. That rear logo lighting kit will go perfect with what you're trying to do. wagonis05-10-2011, 03:32 PMOh nice!! Pics this weekend :D

Actually, if the car is ready by Friday I'll be taking her to Spring Fling and I'll have a bunch of pics to post up.

As far as projects, lord knows I have plenty for this giirl and my other "pet". This is what I have ready in my garage for the MR2:

1.) 94+ tails with light-up MR2 logo
2.) Tien Springs
3.) Dual Tom's style scoops
4.) SS Fuze Box cover

Once I'm done all that, I'm starting work on my pet (94 Civic Hatch), going to do a simple swap to a B-series, first one I get my hands on. I don't care if it's a B18B, C1, C5 or a B16, as long as it's better then my D15 rated at 100 BHP.

Once the Civic is swapped, I'll use her as my daily driver so I can start yanking out the 5SFE from the deuce and get her ready for a Redtop Beams swap.

I should be done with all of this by the time I'm ready to retire? :lol: eckoman_pdx05-10-2011, 07:02 PMActually, if the car is ready by Friday I'll be taking her to Spring Fling and I'll have a bunch of pics to post up.

Yup, that's def a 2nd gen Integra. Damn shame a set of 94+ tails had to be wasted on a Honda but I still think it doesn't look bad on there.

Yeah, it's definitely a DA Chassis Integra. I did see it on a DC Chassis Integra once back in 2002 or so. a DC Integra which was featured on the covor of Import Tuner had 94+ MR2 taillight on it. Such a waste of nice taillights... devious05-27-2011, 05:07 PMI remember that DC2 I still have the magazine (It was Super Street not Import Tuner) anyway in my eyes even if you dont like it you have to respect all the work and labor that some people put into their cars even if it looks like a shit box they might have paid alot of money or took a long time to get it looking like that. I have seen alot of cars that I think they could have done something better but I still give respect for the hard work and money spent to modify a car how they want it. For some of the OG's out there reading this you should remember the trend of using 93-98 Supra tails on everything I even have a magazine with a CRX with Supra tails. Some people modify their cars how they can picture it thier heads while others follow the trends(Cookie Cuters) is what I call those people. I mod my cars the way I want and how I picture it in my head when I look at my car from paint to suspension everything. Namerif05-28-2011, 01:29 AM^+1 wagonis05-28-2011, 12:26 PMLike I said, doesn't look bad on there. I even like the fact that they made sure to insert the reverse lights in the middle.

The DC2 I was thinking of WAS in Import Tuner, on the cover. I didn't mess up and get it confused with Super Street. It was Import Tuner. It's owned by Nilo Capiz, and it was a cover car.

In fact, it's been in Import Tuner twice.

I've been in the scene a LONG time. I showed and won at HIN, and all the other shows. I was there during the "headlight and taillight conversion" phase. It wasn't just supra tails, it was GT-R tails, Mercedes-Benz tails, BMW headlights, and tons of others. I've seen them all on cars. Shows, magazines, it was huge back 10 years ago in 2002.

The taillight conversions got played out, just like Lambo doors and some of the other mods people used to do. People when for all shock and awe, and it wasn't always done clean.

Sometimes it didn't look that bad though, and it doesn't look too bad on that white DA Integra. The reason I said it's a shame the tails were wasted on that car, is I know first had no one in that few Honda scene will respect a car like that. It's a shame, but it's true. If it's not some cookie cutter JDM inspired Civic rocking 15 or 16" wheels, the Honda guys just hate. If it's a car that would win @ a show, they'll hate on it. My Civic would still clean most of their clocks @ any show still...but that doesn't mean they won't hate on it. As for the work that goes into that conversion like that, I'll always respect that. I'm a show guy @ heart, and I'm still good friend's with the owner of a custom body shop. It's just to most of the people in the car scene, conversions are dead...so it's a waste in that sense as you'll never get the respect you were hoping for. I actually miss that scene. Lot's of creativity, and people didn't hate on you for braking out of the norm. That scene's long gone though, like HIN...

At any rate, here's a CRX which was a Honda Tuning Cover car back in the day (Ironic, since they'd make fun of it now). RSX Headlights, Mercedes-Benz tails.
