Tail light conversion

Hey y'all need some help. I've got a show civic and I want to really do a tail light conversion. I've got an 01 EX coupe. Right now I've got a few thoughts but I can't make clear decision. It's a toss up between a Lexus IS 300, BMW M3, and a 06 Civic Sedan. I'm sure there are other lights that would look good but I can't seem to find any that really pop. Any help and possibly pics would really help me out.

Much thanks.

06 Civic Sedan tails would be SICK! ...I thought about doing that too. I don't know if it would be worth it though. If you don't want to spend a lot of money...04-05 tails are good enough.

Yo nOObs, he just said he's got a show car and that he REALLY wants a conversion.

Cheapest and easiest one would be the IS 300 IMO, considering the contour of the civic's ***. I also think it would look better than the M3 and the 06 civic.

^^^ He has a good point. The other 2 are a body style that fits their lights, i dont think it would look right on a civic, I think the IS300 would be good

If it's a show car, then do it big. Seen enough IS300 conversions rollin around on street cars.

True but show cars are all about how all the mods come together as one, so if he does do a conversion that turns out to not flow well then he shot that money down the drain.

I would stay with the stock ones and add the RSX break light on the trunk and use the money on a nicer paint and great design. This way you keep the car clean with some simple, effective mods and a killer paint job.

I like the idea of using the rsx brake light, but is300 is your best bet.

I could see doin the RSX 3rd break light. As for the paint, I already have a completely custom paint job. It's a color changing paint. Shifts from blue to gold, and my tribals are STI blue with heavy flake.
