Ok I was looking around taillights of s14's and I found these... they look real nice.. and I wanna know how to make mine like that, I am sure they are not the stock ones, and some custom work has gone into them...

I think these are like the stock ones...

btw... I love those rims.....

looks like all he did was juss tint the stuff around the red and orange..or if u want..juss paint it..since its not needed

eamonj25 · 09-29-2002, 04:27 PM

was it only the things around the red and the orange, or were the red and orange also tinted? This looks VERY nice...

he did something with his turn signals, probably painted them over with red.  The rest is stock...some car are not very red like the second pic.  I like the taillights with the emblem, I took mine off once and it looked ugly.

all he did was just remove the Nissam emblem

He did not ONLY remove the emblem, if you look closely you can tell that the taillights of the black car are MUCH darker than the other car....

EDIT:

these are dark tooo.....

why are some darker than others?

this is a pic of my car it must be the sun light hitting the back of the car that makes it look red in the other pic that you are talking about

eamonj25 · 09-29-2002, 04:57 PM

oic, thanks for the help... o btw you guys were talking bout the emblems, I agree 240s without the emblem in the middle look weird, but i personally do not like the nissan emblem... a circle with Nissan through the middle, are there any emblems related to nissan or silvia which fit and would look nice?

SimpleS14 · 09-29-2002, 05:04 PM

There is nothing IM that will look nice, I saw a pic with the "Silvia" emblem.....its just plain ugly.

Some tails are darker to go with the car scheme and/or year model....i think  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/eh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':eh:'>

yea some s14 tails were a shade diff. depending on the year and car color. The red ones tend to be reder while dark cars had darker tails. Or it could be my imagination too.

i dont think so, about the darker cars come with darker shades to match the car, y would nissan do this? it would cost them more money to do that to each car. so i dont think so.

I believe small money wasting ideas like that were some of the causes for Nissan's financial troubles in the late '90s.
