Updating the sedanīs tail lamps

Just wondering what you think about updating my 2k1īs tail lamps (sedan) with the new 03 tail lamps. I checked prices and it would cost around $350. I like the new ones better because they are more brilliant (red) but I donīt know if its worth it.

Donīt like Altezzas on silver cars so that is out on my options.

IMO not worth changing from 01 to 03, they have some Jag style lights that dont look like altezzas at all

I say do it if you have the money. It's your car do what you want. I happen to like the new '03 sedan tails.

Yeup, like what the guy said on top... do it if you have the money. All my friends said "oh my god.. you spent that much on taillights? you retard" but to be honest... I think it was worth it. There's too many Civic's around my area.. and i know no one may notice.. but it's a good feeling to have better looking tail lights.

If you want it then go for it, that tail light is sweet, i'd rather get that than the '03

I think is worth it, because if you clean your car it would look like a new '03 [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

I like the '03 style lights. I wouldn't pay that kind of money to put them on my sedan. I would get the jaguar style lights before paying for the oem lights.

Kenyi, your tail lamps look awesome.

Does anybody have a picture of the Jag tail lamps?

Funny thing you mentioned that if I just wash the car it would look like a brand new 03. That was actually my thought. I have taken excellent care of my carīs paint, the car is waxed once a month and I wash and clean it very well on sundays, so one of the reasons I was thinking about updating the tail lamps was to have my car look like an 03.

Still, Iīm going to have to wait a few months because next month I have to pay over $400 in taxes.
