    my tail lights... lemme know what you think.

    Wasn't feelin the stocker look so i took about 45 mins. and had some fun.
    Let me know what you guys think... and no lol those circles weren't on the stocker assy's. i drew them on there to see if i could picture the general idea in my head before anything drastic. and no the lines aren't EXACTLY straight on the emblem but at night and when you're not 2 inches from it, you can't tell.
    BEFORE:

    AFTER:

    NIGHT TIME SHOT:



    and on the far left and far right of each rear assy. i had some more fun. brand loyalty i guess you could say...


    let me know what you guys think. any comments are awesome.

    -Nick


    p.s. looking at that after pic it is a really bad pic. i mean as far as showing how not-that-bad they look.

    LOL.. no offense man but thats rice as hell, i think i recall someone else doing it back in some old thread from like 2002/2003 ish but the circles were round ... still rice though. should just get some nightshades and tint the whole tail out if u want something diffrent or made them red and clears since thats easy on 86-87s

    Re: my tail lights... lemme know what you think.

    i'm just curious why this is rice? i seriously want a definition of rice. i thought it might look rice at first. but i don't think it does. so my definition must be different. i mean i've never seen a set of tails with nightshades... very unique. i've seen sets of red tails. didn't like it too much.

    Rice or not, stand fifteen feet away from your car and find one thing that is round aside from your wheels (damn it, or lock cylinder...). The eighties accord is all angles, which is why that looks bad.

    that is a good point. just didn't think a bunch of rectangles and squares would look anywhere close to right.like i said i had considered a more pulsar inspired look but went this way.

    I guarantee I'll see it at least once this week if I drive around town a little bit.
