A taillight conversion that a CRX did not deserve...

I was on my way home from Safeway last night and as I made it to the next light, I see this white CRX in front of me with a Supra taillight conversion! It's really not hard to imagine this... but it was ugly as f'ck! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG]

I remember seeing another Supra taillight conversion... hey Vic, wasn't it on a Prelude (last generation)?

Well, I'm not gonna be the guy to say that "should" or "shouldn't" have happened... you can do whatever you want with your car, but IMO... FUGLY!

it could've been worse, supra taillight conversions aren't so bad. At least they weren't altezzas. remember like 2-3 yrs ago when everyone was doin supra taillights?[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] they were on integras, chevy 1500s, crxs.[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

if i owned a supra and see a little crx with my taillights, i would just follow him and rape him at every stop light, and let him see the authentic supra and then when he doesn't know, i'll break the lights[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

i saw that conversion last weekend, i was gonna throw up on the car. it wouldnt have been so bad if they were grafted in about 2 inches from the bottom of the bumper! it wasnt even in the stock location at all. now that gold crx thats in import tuner this month...with the acura nsx conversion, thats the tightest looking conversion i think ive seen on any car

ja, the NSX conversion is hot as heyull. But integra on a CRX? Supra on a CRX? I'm gonna find one of these ride and give it what it rightfully deserves: a PINTO transplant.[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

I have a friend who has a 96 integ with silvia s14 headlight conversions and prelude tails. It's one badass car. Actually it was in Super Street about two months back? or maybe a month? I"m sure one of you guys know what I'm talking about. It's white with red interior.

i used to have a b16ed crx definetly woulda kicked the shiz outa my 2k2, but thats beside the point. the supra tails on a crx is WAY played out, and the NSX conversion is getting there too. i feel that mr2 tails look the best other than the stock tails. and im glad you were coming home from safeway, i work at vons, a safeway company

the guy that drove the s2000 in F&F is an actor. I think the only person who drive's imports from the movie in real life is Paul Walker (he has a R34).

i think the supra conversion is just as bad as doing a euro taillight conversion... they're both lights that technically don't belong on there.. ie after market.... anyways.. it's up the the owner to decide what they want to do to their car... [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

No I think the asian guy in the first race, you know the one that is playing the playstation before the race with Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, and Ja Rule. I thought he was well respected in the import community. Can't think of his name tho.
