the only problem with these is that they only make them for the four door version of the 3g and they dont include the center part of the tails. so unless you want them to look orange in the middle and white on the ouside, i wouldnt get them :-|

The company that makes them will never get any rentability out of this... there's no point in just swapping the outer lights...

unless your a ricer lol. but someone who shaves the inner lights, that would work out great for them...

They're not DOT legal, so you're gonna get a ticket.

So what's the point? Besides, they're fugly.

Peace.

Polished stock lenses look great. Focus more on keeping your car clean instead of swapping in weird parts. It's a good looking car from the factory, it just needs some OEM style alloys.

i think if they had the center piece then they would look 10 times better IMO

well its all a matter of opinion i think, i rather buy those then make them, so they at least look good...but.....Anyone got a picture of polished tails? I looked on the poll tails and the black outline on the widebody....yuck. and I dont really like the all redtails ither...

Polished with what? I did mine with plastic polish a few years ago. They do look good when they are clean. I like the fact that the car looks a little dated rather than trying to fit in with all of the new cars that have adopted the same type of theme. I do like the new Accord taillights, though, with the LED's in them.

The ones here on eBay don't look ricey at all, but then again, they aren't that exciting, either.

I bought those and liked them at first, but the red doesn't match the factory red (too bright) so I wound up just tinting the stock tails and trunk lights in smoke.

Plastic polish is okay. Try using chrome polish, then plastic polish. Better yet, take them off and use a buffing wheel. That'll really get them red and shiny. :)

Yech. I don't know why people would do that. It's such an obvious mod, it doesn't look like it came from the factory that way at all. And if you're wondering why I'm such a purist, it's because believe it or not, people are actually PAID to design the exterior of a car to make it GOOD LOOKING, and they spend hours and hours and hours tweaking it to get it to look pretty decent. Then some dumbass 17 year old says Oh man I don't need these I'll fill it with bondo and get some Z3 vents! Yeeehawww! Then you wind up with some abortion like this:

im sure im not the only one, but im sorry. Everyone has different tastes so shut the fuck up and keep some of your opinions to yourself.

I dont like body kits or wings, you dont see me going around bashing every fuckin car thats posted kuz it doesnt look "stock"... who the fuck cares, its their car let them mod it how they want.

Anyways...
If they made those tails for a 2dr version, with the inner piece as well, id definatly get um for my car. I think they'd look pretty sweet.

Man! I really like those but, I'm with everybody else, if there's no matching center then it's pretty pointless. I always like it when I see the 94*I think?* civic's with the tails that look like that. I think that that's what the JDM civic tails look like although I could be wrong. Non-the-less I would get a pair if they made the center to accompany the outside. Poor planing on their part IMO

yeah, i would get them too if they had the center version and for a 2dr. i really hate the orange part of my tails, i dont want to red them out because i ps it and i dont think it would look good with my new paint. with the old green paint it would but not with this one. nor do i want to smoke them because of the fact that if you do it wrong it looks like crap. and i think if i smoked my tails, my car would look too "DUB" with the black rims and polished lip. so i rather keep my car looking like a honda and not a ford explorer in a stupid hip hop mag. lol
