Sedan Taillights!

Hey everyone,
I obviously have a NBP Sedan, and I have chrome APC altezzas on it right now, and am growing out of the altezza phase, so I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for me. I was thinking about either getting the stock 03 tails, or smoking mine, or getting some Jaguar S type taillights. Anyone know where you can get those? I was thinking that a cool subtle way to change would be to put my stock tails back in with yellow turn signals, how do you think that would look? I think that the turn signal bulbs and read reflectors might ruin what I am trying to do though.

Open for opinions!!!
Thanks again
Pat

Contact Civicsky for the Ferio replica tails, then put an amber bulb in the turn signal part (which is clear on those cars). Check my ride gallery for some pix.

if you install 'amber' 7440s in stock taillights, they will still be red
(ive tried that already)

Telly those look cool, but the chrome turn signals are a bit too much for me, maybe I could pull them apart and paint the chrome black?

I'm sure it's doable. But your signals will be rather dim due to decreased reflection by painting the chrome..

Why not get the '03 tails or better yet, take your stock tails, and paint the edges the color of the car.

In other words, like the coupe tails that dont go to the lip. Paint the lip edge up top and even on the side a bit so it looks like they dont go all the way up. Its doable and would look hot.
