I came up with some ideas in Photoshop for my base taillights. I like them, except for the amber sections. I like how these look in Photoshop format, but not quite sure how they would look in real life.


What do you think? Which one looks best?

Suggestions?

 

i like number three.. it just needs something tho.
i don't like those amber lights neither..

 

I like 3 also, pretty nice.

 

i like 4......is that basically stock?

 

I always love the Chevy Double circle... Number 2 Just needs the circles to be a bit Bigger and Have about another 5-10 MM more space between them.

 

I like 1 or 4

 

Number 2 almost resembles a 360 Modena....I like it.

 

5, none of the above

 

I voted 1, I'd say 1 or 4, but any would be interesting to see and neat if done right.

 

PLUS THE GRID..

I always liked number 1. I did the other 3 to see how they looked. I did 2 because I love quad circular lights like on old Vettes and Ferraris. I did 3 because I like the late model RX-7 tails and tried to mimick something like it.


I think I will try 1. I love how the lights look at night, but that amber section made the lights look generic like in the daytime.


I'm gonna move the stop lights to the middle like on TAs, except I will put the turn signals at the edges and make a mount for one of the regular lights.

I'm gonna have a lot of fun resizing the mounting holes for the new bulb housings.

 

I like 4 the best. 4, 1, 3, 2.

I too like the round lights on vettes and ferraris, but only on them. 3 was really my favorite if it had that missing element. I dont know what it is missing, but it is missing something.

Agreed something is missing...Hey just a thought for another option on the #3 styling. I see alot of potential here! I love the rx7 lights too btw! I'm very interigued by this one. Its very interesting! I'm thinking a pic w/o the grid pattern. Seems to boxy to go with the nice angle you make on the painted section. Make the top one longer then the bottom one. Angle both of their inner edge to match the painted section's angle. They would have a even line of a matched angle. See how that looks. The angle would make it flow better! Also try another pic with the top one even a bit longer beyong the bottom one, past the body colored section. Just curious to see that. I think I would like it either way!

4 is cool and clean, but very hard. Not sure how you could get the clear to the inside w/o remaking the lenses!

2 too much black. Its seems wrong for our cars to have so little tail light back there.

1 the reverse light messes up the look.

 

Here are 2 more variations of 1 and 3

 

Wow those are wild. 1A. Looks cool! I like how you angled the reverse light on both sides to match. That is much better! It needed just that!

3A I like even better, but what if the upper lens is a bit longer, still with the angled inner edge though? Whatcha think! Seems like it might soften the look of that thick band on top!

 

What does stock look like?

 

What about the bird on the back? i think that might help fill in the extra space. Just a thought. Looking good.

definately 4, its not trying to imitate something else and almost looks stock, but is different enough from stock to be appreciated by those with eyes for detail

 

I like number 2.

Here is my attempt,

 

thats what i was thinking zeph..

that would look sweet man...do it up

1 and 1A wouldnt be bad. I think Zepher's idea looks pretty sweet too.

 

2 is very cool, i like the circle idea a lot :hail:

 

I'll attempt it after I get my car running. I got half of the motor put together tonight. I need to find 2 spring seats so I can get the other head back together.

 

4

 

Zephers idea remindes me of 70's vette's.

Nice!!

 

I dont like any of them, but I voted number 1.

some things you just cant always change for the better

 

What tail lights are those?

 

I like #4 the best. #1 comes in second

 

I'm all for #3, and #3a Devian, both of them are unique and fit the lines of a thirdgen VERY well.

If you do it, I don't think you will regret it.

 

number 4, 3 just looks odd

 

Lol someone brought this post back from the dead. Well I did no. 1 and love it, but I do like Zeph's idea though, highly worth considering now.

 

1 & 4 would look most natural, 2 would look cool pulled off

 

i'd have to agree with tpiroc on this one.... 1 and 4 with the blacked out lower regions.....

 

number 3 is really kickin it
woooooooooooooo

 

You did? Did you post pics of them? if so can I get a link?

 

Wow! This thread was brought out of nowhere....

Old thread but I say 1, 1A, or 4

 

i think u should go for some trans am tail lights.

 

1...but if you can pull it off 2 would look sweet.

 

Just wondering if you looked in the corner of the screen and saw that you posted in a thread that the last post was over 2 years old.

 

after isaw the first one done of #3 i thought it needed to have the lights more slanted like you didn in the 3a pic
def inatly do that one!

 

 

I voted 3, but I also felt that something was missing. I now choose 3a. That looks sick.

I personally will try to go with the complete knightrider blackout.

I am just wondering if the lack of red reflectors will make that a problem.

Devian, would you be incorperating some kind of reflector in your tails.

I know that this is an old thread, but I find it interesting.

 

i like #2. for some reason it makes the rear end look similar to a Charger

 

I kinda like #3 myself.
The last picture looks like the 308 version that the aftermarket companies made.

jw if anyone actually attempted/done any of these mods to there taillights?

 

2 or 4...both are cool imo

 

Wow, nothin' like some old threads But, I'll put my opinion anyway

Needs a more mod'd version of 3A, bring the angled sections closer to the center. 3A is a great upgrade from 3, but needs just a lil more IMO. Now wheres the pics of all this done in real life?! Three years is more than enough time to paint it
