Hey, i just did mines last week and it turned out awesome!! Except for a few chips,lol. But it looks tight. All u goota do is use a hair dryer and heat that Bit*h up, then you pry open the botton and right side. You don't have to take the whole clear piece off, just fold it out off the way and pop new ones in. IT IS SOO WORTH IT! Alot better looking than does *** altezzas. I think they have a forum on that. You should do it yourself and save yourself the money!

I'd love to do it myself, but I talked to enough ppl to know that with my skills and tools, I can't do it...I can't do it alone at least...I'm thinking of buying a set of tails at a junk yard to work on before I go work on my own...The instructions at hondaprelude.com are awesome, but I still need help doing this mod...

you can totally do it dude, i did and it isnt that hard at all. the one thing to make sure to do is go slowly. thats it, just hang in there. also, you can use a heating lamp, hairdryer, heat gun, or even an oven to heat the epoxy. I used a heat lamp and it worked great good luck!!

there is always neoekai. i haven't seen him post on this board for a little while tho.

Brady92/4WS · 06-28-2002, 11:37 AM

ya know all you have to do is throw them in the oven for 5 minutes and the pull right apart.

Yeah, its not actually that part I'm scared of...its the part that requires the dremel tool to create a new clear white piece, and the silicone gluing that kinda scares me...Does anyone know where a junkyard is around the San Gabriel area by any chance?

neoekai · 07-04-2002, 07:52 AM

hey, i'm in china right now, and this is the first time i've been able to use the net.....just to let you all know : )

red92si · 07-04-2002, 10:49 AM

I love mine... I bought them from Phatfarm. They are even customized so that the reverse light and turn signal will light up the entire rectangle when they are lit. I need to take some pics of them at night, but here is a pic of my rear from LFW2002.

Im the one on the right if you couldnt figure it out.
