I like them because they are original. They look nice too. But after awhile, I can understand how you could get sick of um. I have a Black/Black SE, and I had my tails 100% blacked out for 3 years now, but I had an accedent, the tails broke and now I have stock ones (also put back the red side marker) and they look great. The red looks really good against a black car.

The body kit looks slammin! Why no front spoiler?

thanks..

Before, the car was lowered on Ground Controls, i was dropped a good 2.5" and I knew I would have a lot of clearance problems with the front lip. I had this problem with my 4th gen with the Stillen kit even though I only had H&Rs which is barely a drop. Anyways, I'm on Maxspeeds now and the front lip is in my basement waiting for paint

And yeah, I'm kind of tired of the tails, sometimes i like them, sometimes i want something else.. just want a change i guess and I would really like to try the smoked stock tails thing...

sort of this look:

i think he has the red part slightly smoked.. that would probably look nice on a black car.

 

^ that looks amazing

 

Keep them! And I agree with Maxpat82, keep the stock sidemarkers to match.

Don't follow the crowd; they make fun of anyone that doesn't have what they have.

 

Yo Steve, as I said before, get the stock SE tails. They look a hundred times better.

BTW, did you change out the front springs yet?

 

where are your reverse lights?

 

oh yeah, i love em to death.

 

I like them. They kind of look like alien eyes. I'd keep them if I were me.

 

As long as you like them who cares. Personally I think that's too much red goin' on back there, but doesn't look horrible.

 

I would go back to factory tails. The cleared 03's would look nice!

Jattmax... Luv your wheels, very nice. What's the model/mfr/etc. Approx Price? I think they would look awsome on my titanium edition SE

Thanks

 

yeah, got my new strut, changed the fronts.. so much better now, nice and even.. but the car is out of commission with a blown MAF.


They are still there, but they are red. Lights up kind of white/red..

 

So what springs you have on now?

 

I think he means pink.

 

I like them, looks original for sure.......

 

Ok, i think they look sick, so i think either keep em, or smoke your side markers, and buy some 02 03 tails and smoke the whole clear lens, not totally black but pretty dark, that would be cool.

I think he was trying to put a masculine spin on it!
red/white = pink!

FYI: tailights look good in that they're unique...but i'd stick with '0-'01 SE tails...good match with the black.

 

I'm not sure...but seeing ur car lowered, with the tints and stock wheels with the kit makes me want to keep my 2k2 now...

 

i like them too.. but is the reverse light white or red

 

They ok, why don't u get the ones i got I think mine look sick

check them out

I've never seen such a thing. I like them, they're ok. But its like you said, you either like them or you don't. One thing for sure is you be the only dude with them

 

my opionion: 2k2

 

IS it Legal to have the reverse lights red?
from reading the posts' looks like ur still getting mixed reviews on ur tails. I say go with ur style, if u like it like that then keep it. If not, change it.. iam nuetral on this. can't decide if i like em or not...

 

They just look stupid to me... But if you like them, be the unique one. That is what I love about my car, you dont see too many of them with my tail lights (pictures soon to come)

 

A little too much red for my taste, but good for you for trying something new

My vote: SE Tails

 

get the stock SE tails

 

They really look good on a car

 

stock SE's

 

Holy thread from the dead Batman!!!

 

Someone posted or voted prior to mine

 

I actually like that. I say go with it, especially if you say it looks better in person. Very cool.

 

Honestly on a dark colored car like that the 00-01 SE tails are a good fit or just stay with the stock 02-03 tails. Just my Opinion. One more thing you might run into a bit of a problem with red reverse lights at inpection time. Not sure what your state laws are over there, but you might want to consider that before you go in for your next inpection or simply do a quick swap with a friend just for the day so you don't have any problems. Or you can do what I am planning on doing by turning your left reverse light into a rear fog light for severe weather ONLY. You might have seen my thread on that. I will post pics when its done.

 

Holy grave digger Tim... this thread was almost a year old...

Btw, those tails seem to match his car just fine...

 

Haha... I didn't see this post...

 

The guy who started this thread doesn't even have the car anymore.

 

WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT A THREAD THAT IS A YEAR OLD?

 

Because of boredom I assume...

 

i say keep them, everyone can't do the same thing all of the time. it works well with your cars look.

 

looks good man

 

Dump them...

 

i wonder what happens if you use nite shades and clear coat on a 2k2 tail.........would it look the same as 00-01 gle/gxe tails with nite shades/clear coat?

i got my can of nite shades and clear coat in my room sitting for more than 2 months, i can't never find time to o this.....
