painting altezza taillights - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

<^> ^_^ <^> · 11-12-2008, 10:15 PM

has anyone ever thought about getting the altezza taillights and blacked out the center and red tinted the 2 sides? it might actually look good and be a cheap alternative to buying the real 180sx taillights...or it might look cheap and tacky

silviaguy240 · 11-12-2008, 10:20 PM

no ones ever thought of it, nope.....

wgJoY · 11-12-2008, 10:25 PM

i say go for it. it'd be original at least haha. I think it would look pretty good if you can pull it off.

here you go.

the secret to making them look half decent is to bake them and paint it on the inside so the outside stays smooth and so you wont have to retint them every few months

Lies... tint them correctly and you'll never have to touch them again.

Walperstyle · 11-12-2008, 10:29 PM

sylsevilsis · 11-12-2008, 11:51 PM

i'd rock those any day versus the stock tails with water!
But thankfully I got the real deal Kouki's.
I would like to see pics of those euro tails painted to match their cars.

You should cut your wrist more over shit other people do...... JAY KAY, hate away!!

Flicktitty · 11-13-2008, 12:22 AM

they look alright when done good.

kensreliableb18b · 11-13-2008, 12:38 AM

ehh only if the rest of your car is badass can you pull it off. otherwise, it's still cheap ebay lights.

mr_240sx · 11-13-2008, 12:57 AM

fake looking ebay special altezza lights suck.

should spend your money on crack and whores instead. it would atleast leave you satisfied for a few hours.

derek_s13 · 11-13-2008, 02:06 AM

mr. 240sx, you used to be such a nice guy hahahahahahaha.

yeah, anything that's made to LOOK like kouki tails is gayfest. euro tails can work on a fully done car.

sexystyle, ichiyanagi, russell has them i think... tons of others

11-13-2008, 08:55 AM

here is another example of a shitty light just recently introduced into the lexus community for the SC. hint hint, they look like ass.

*Sonic Motor* · 11-13-2008, 10:30 AM

wow, that SC light actually looks decent. Anything is better those POS 92-95 lights.

As for the 240sx light, 180sx kouki tail lights arent that good looking. Tint it another design or color... That would be something new.

92-94 lights suck. 95-96 lights are good. 97-00 lights are also good.

ebay lights that are made in china, suck balls. i personally, dont fix up my car to make it look "decent." i'de like to think that when i spend my hard earned money on my car, i want that motherfucker to look badassed.

that's like saying a Monica Belluci isnt "that" fine. bullshit, she's awesome.

the 180sx tail lights are the primo numero uno of tail lights, they are the best. simply put, there is no better light than the 96-98 tail lights.

jeeeeeez.. i know there's a lot of broke people out there, but wtf.. you can be broke and still have good taste. no reason to stoop to shitty ebay altekka tail lights.

Bushido · 11-13-2008, 10:50 AM
