No, you either have to paint them with transparent candy apple red light I did or custom clears which I have no I idea on how to do them.

some poeple have put the 90 tails on their 3g ...you do need to modify the back of the car though. its not easy. for making the clear lenses you need to get some plastic and just heat it up and bend it so it fits into the tail light frame....but its not as easy as it sounds...what part of mass you from ? im near springfield

you will have to see what you may have to cut or fill to get the new tails to fit, and you will have to get them to be able to screw in with their mounting holes.

i don't think that trunk will fit because it's a diffent body style. for whay you are doing, it's all custom fabrication, so there isn't really a how-to. talk to people who have done tailight conversions first. you just have to go in a do it. take lots of measurment and make drawings and stuff. you should probably know how do make some draftings of it so that you know what to do once you actually getin there. do it all on paper first.

Yeah it's a tough project to do... I know for sure it wasn't easy, from what I have heard, but like every 1 is saying, there has been people who have done thid b4, and they did a great job on it.... I'll try to find out who did, and then I could have them PM u with a message and they can tell u.... or if u really want which is probably the 1st place to start is the "How-To" section and just follow the directions, print it out if ya need 2.... Hope that Helps... Lataz.
