Finally got some pics of my ride.... I have a question for ya....(PICS)

I bought a right 2k2 clear/chrome tail off eBay for $40, and now I might be able to get a left 2K3 clear/chrome tail for $20. Will these lights be different from each other? They will fit in my 2K no prob wont they?

here is my rig....

I dont think the rims are bad, black cars are the only ones that can really rock chrome, in my opinion...looks like it needs to be dropped, though...and if you're getting the clear tails, should probably get the rear clear side markers too....otherwise I think it looks good for now, nice and clean!

lights should be the same, might be some differences tho if they're made by different companies. post pics when you get them in, i'd like to see how they look on a black max. seen them on a white one, dont really like them. too bland. might look better on the black max's tho, we'll see

Thanks bro, but with the Tein S Techs that are on there now, I wouldnt want to go any lower (dropped it 2.2" in the front, 1.6" in the rear), it is my wife's car, she hits enough **** as it is...

Oh ok....just in the third pic, it looked like the front wheel gap was huge...could be because I can't tell where the car ends and the space begins - but that's cool, I still think it looks real good

Yeah, all you asked about was tail lights and you get ripped on everything else. That's the ***** that come with being behind a computer screen. The tail lights should be a direct fit but I have not seen it done so I don't know exactly. Those tail lights should look pretty good on that car.

Swapmeet,

You should black-out your current tails to look likr the 2k1s. I think you could probably do it with transparent black paint. They would look great on a black car.

If you get the chromed tails then you could swap them out according to your mood. LOL

Good luck, and clean car.

The fit is perfect. Although, if I remember correctly your going to have to change one of the light connecters due to it not fiting in correctly. Good luck!

Chrome rims are very tricky. 90 % of them are cheaply made , and are ghetto. They do look well on Black cars for sure........

Im running the Arelli Spiga 18x7.5 with 225/40/18's. The rims are quality made out of LA, but Im having second thoughts on the chrome - the upkeep sucks, and for $360 apeice, I could have got something more maintenance freindly. But I guess any wheel is like that. BTW, the pics dont do it justice, it looks way better in person...

Mahalo for the props bros......
