Do any of you know where I could find some euro-spec taillights. If you don't know what I'm talking about i enclosed a pic of them at the bottom. Is their a web page that sells them? Plus i think these would be great because I'm trying to not put Chrome tails because every freakin person on the planet that has a sport coupe has them. well almost everyone.

lol, I think that is actually a pic of his taillights from the "Painting Amber Bulbs Silver" thread.

Yea, PM mex.

You know what's funny? Lots of people here like the tails available in other countries (JDM Hybrid, Euro spec Coupe). I wonder if the situation was reversed, would we still want to import coupe tails with red turn lenses or sedan tails with yellow turn lenses and pinkish back up lenses? Maybe. Here in North America, we're used to gettin the short straw on all the cool stuff.

I got them for the amber turn signal.. red is just too domestic for me [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

i personally like the taillights that come with our cars w/ the blinker red.. more than likely you'll be paying an arm and a leg just to have the same exact taillights w/ just one minor difference. the only way i would get them is if the blinker cam in amber [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Personally i like them because it's different and nicer than cheap altezza's. Its all about personal opinion and just because they are from overseas and not easy to get over here doesn't mean i wouldn't have bought them if they sold them at Pep boys. Now APC grills are at pepboys for 2k1civic's alone does that mean that noone's gonna buy them now because they are more accessible? I think not. Its all about preference thats why every other day some newb posts Injen or AEM thread because they don't know what most people think and would like to know what everyone's opinions are.

Personally, I think it's an effort to have something different. Altezzas are pretty much played out IMO. Some of them look good, but in an effort to 'be different', everyone with altezzas end up doing the same thing. I think getting the Euro or JDM tails is just another way to be different, but it is much harder for everyone else to copy(at this time). It's always possible that the euro and JDM tails will be widely available here in North America, then the 'different' factor goes right down the toilet.

Then again, it's all just personal preference. I prefer yellow or amber turn signals in the back (I feel it's safer to have the turn color different than the brake color). That's why I asked my buddy to try and pick me up some JDM Hybrid tails. I hope he pulls it off. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
