    Custom tail lights...will it fit??

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/88-89...QQcmdZViewItem

    Found these suckers BUT the issue is that they're for 88-89's and I have an 87. I was wondering if these would in fact fit my ride as well or will I have to stick with the niteshade (which is nice too)???

    well what you could do is just paint the center lightes around the reverse square red. it would match everything else. its like the civic tail lights that are clear. the center ones are solid red aside from the clear reverse square. so all it takes is a 3 dollar can of cherry red translucent paint some clearcoat and those altezza lights and it would look pimpin

    I bought those lights off of ebay like a dumbass, and the guy said before I bought them, they came with the center lights. Boy was he full of shit!!! I've tried e-mailing them to return them, but looks like i'm stuck with them. I dunno, I might just shave the center ones.....it might look good. Who has pics of the center lights shaved?

    I stand by my original statement no offense to your buddy but i'm not feeling it

    i tried that in photoshop when i first got my 3gee. it looks ok.. better than shaved tails imo but still kinda odd

    Its cool...Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But his car definately doesn't look like a 3gee in person. It looks way newer

    doh.. he ruined it! lol jk

    acutally I was looking again and I think the shaved tails have potential.. they might look better if the reverse lights were changed around and maybe the plate garnish a little more flowing with the trunklid

    The inner 86-87 lights are really easy to do. I should have made a how -to when I was doing them. If you want one I can still do a write up on it
