Where can i buy these kits to convert my taillights to skyline lights? and what everyones' opinion on these kits/this mod?

umm, you get some tails from japan, and get a shop to rape your rear until it fits

This could be costly, and if you were going to consider it I'd like to see some try 5th gen lude lights into a 4th gen. maybe teg lights. I just always felt if you swap major body parts it should be from the same mfg.

On another subject:
I was just up in Michigan city last week, went to the boat...lost money. It's nice to see some one else form Indiana though.

No one sells "kits". The only way to do a taillight conversion (or any conversions for that matter) is with lots of skill, bondo, and metal fabrication. I HIGHLY recomend you not try this as a DIY project. . .you will most likely be unhappy with the finished product and significantly decrease the value of your car.

My opinion is your money will be better spent on another project.

ENGINE MODS ALWAYS OVER SHOW MODS IMO :P

to do taillamp conversion... you're looking at round 1000-1800 for each taillamp in labor alone! (not including paint)...

Price quotes from JT Autostyle, Auto Xplosion and other well known body shops

ok never mind

Maybe if you havent done the JDM headlight conversion you could do that, not nearly as expensive and adds alot of character to the car!!!

Hmm unless ur really into something like this, i wouldnt suggest it.

brendon2k · 01-14-2003, 05:58 PM

just invest in some stock lights

achemze · 01-14-2003, 07:20 PM

yea, i'm pretty sure unless you're trying to steal 1st at a show, this wont be what you want. Try a JDM headlight conversion or something. Even then, i'm a fan of stock-body. It makes it harder for the cops to know i'm the one making all the BOV sounds

be prepared to spend a pretty penny. .. if it's teh show scene youu're after.. dont go chasing after it.. it's not worth it.

someone will always have more $$ and more hook ups than you.. you cant beat them.. you can only *try* to join in.. then get rejected. my .02 any way.
