Default Custom EB taillights (RICER concept)

just thort i'd unleash my new concept for the EB taillights!
I kno they are very ricer but i'm hopeing that they "mite" look alrite wen there on the car...lites arent fully completed as the red lens i've put in have to be put in properly yet to stop the yellow lite commin from underneath the red lens...

so thorts? critisims? ideas? hit me!

PIX:
http://members.iinet.net.au/~trewin/Pix/121_2170.JPG - lites off
http://members.iinet.net.au/~trewin/Pix/121_2168.JPG - lites on (it is red just dodgy cam!)

Get three red dots in a row, or more evenly spaced, and I dont think they look all that bad.

Of the same opinion here. Don't think that they will look "rice" because they're fairly subtle. Nice!

I'd prefer InitialD's version, but at least yours don't look like some of those all-clear AU tail-lights I've seen around (Yuck!)

If you could only diffuse the light all the way "across" the lens, you'd have an almost factory-enhanced appearance.

Good on you for actually having a go, however.

Not rice really. Quite subtle and if you didnt know what the stock ones were you would think they are stock. Definatly not like the VR/S clearies/circle lights!

Be careful of any legal issues with the tails, but they do look good!

what ya could do with the garnish is get a ghia one and pull it apart like initialD has, and instead of only painting the lower half silver, paint the lot silver,

just suggesting...
