for the most part, it's either a girls mod, or what people do when they first buy a Ciivic. lack of eyesite i suppose? girls usually think they're "pretty". ew.

I love my tail lights. I just don't give a fudge if you like'em or not. Different strokes for different folks. For the folks that say they don't like them, their hideous.......that's your opinion and I'm cool with that. For the chumps that say their girl mods, their pretty ya'll are a bunch of haters. Just my 2 cents.

I own a set of CF TYC tails (in a box in my living room soon to be blacked out), I just hate the look of the 01-03 OEM coupe tails(in my car now) with those stupid horseshoe shaped lights you can tell what car it is from a mile away (reason why I bought TYC's)

IMO what looks sick is the TYC or the angel-eye tails when the lens is blacked out. I just want to look different from the 50'000+ CIVIC's in my area, IMO modding/tuning is about getting as far away from stock as possible performance and cosmetic. So if you customize aftermarket parts e.g. body colour your projectors, then its not so easy for any noob to copy your style.

There was a time when everyone wanted to sport them. Taste change. I remeber when everyone was like clear those headlight, now it is more like black out those head lights. Everyone got their taste, if you like them keep them on. I perfer stock.

O.k. similar to body coloured headlights (paint projector housing under clear lens), blacked out tails are done by tinting/painting the outside lens to hide the inside when no lights are on(e.g.^^HUSLTELIKEMOFO pics^^), and you can black out the headlights but Imo they dont look that good.Imo.

I remember when people were going crazy when they saw those cars with the vinyls and high metal wings and all. Now everyone call's it rice. The magic word these days is JDM. I wonder what the next hype will be.

Thanks...now that I see it I wouldn't do it. Thinking now about buying angel eyes for my 03 and since I like the look of the lights themselves, I don't wanna take that away by tinting it. Appreciate the answer.
