    If your going or wanting to shave the rear end with round lights, go to a junk yard or a Corvette parts shop, and get a set of tail lights from any corvette, and shave them into the body to make them look like they actualy belong there. Just my opinion. I've seen it on chevy trucks, newer accords, even eclipse's.

    Well I posted a thread on this but has anyone figured out a way to remove the clear plastic cover without destroying the lights?

    Hot hot water, I boil water and puor it into the lights and wait a minuet or two and them start to pull them apart. Which lense did you crack? Bobafet has an extra one but I cannot remember which one it is.

    Well I broke the outer cover and then broke the turn signal, it was a hit lens anyway so no loss

    What part of it broke, and is it a hatch light?

    Could i do this!? Could i get clear, acrylic plexiglass and lay it over the lights. locate the brightest part(most likely right where the bulb is) and leave make a circle to the desired size and leave it clear, and then paint the rest of the plexiglass black? still DOT approved right? just gotta glue down the plexiglass and paint it...any positive feedback would help significantly

    I was thinking of doing this mod too, only with led's, not just normal round lenses. It does look mint, but I don't know if it will be worth the trouble, or worth shattering 400 sets of tails.... , I think I am just going to tint them black though.

    I've talked to my dad and we figured that fiberglass would be too hard to bend. I am just gonna go to the junkyard and see what i can dig up. Any ideas of what i can do before i go to the junkyard?

    I've alway's thought his tail light mod is the best looking mod anyone has done to a 3g.
    i think his mod looks cheesy, and it kills the 3g. You need to search harder if you think those tails r good.

    A job well done.

    Well, I must say that you have stirred the hornets nest up A20. Congrats on your tail light mod. I thought that it was intuitive. and for all the negative attitudes out there. Just remember, Opinions are like A##Holes, everyone has one & the majority of them usually stink.
    Remember you are only limited by your imagination. LOL
