I love it when companies make products years way after us, that not only look ugly but still suck! ha

rainier · 12-15-2004, 11:29 AM

lol i think theyre real ugly in that color. but iuno might just be me.

OptionZero · 12-15-2004, 12:01 PM

but mike...they're better than yours in one important respect.

They're JDM.

kazuo · 12-15-2004, 12:04 PM

Wow those lights DO suck.

And before anyone asks... http://www.clearcorners.com/products...R_hbtail_LED1/

Mamos' lights.

Much better.

Holy crud. I didnt think Hipposleek would be so bad at making taillights. I guess it goes to show it's not as easy as it looks to design tasteful products. Kudos you grumpy old Mike Mamon.

Ian · 12-15-2004, 12:12 PM

i like those ^^

kinda reminds me of the new model RSX tails but done the right way (not all bulgy and shit)

Hey dude, you never called me back 'bout this weekend.

I think you need to call me.

ON TOPIC: Too bad I'd have to sell my left nut to afford Mamos' lights...

CoasTek240 · 12-15-2004, 12:20 PM

hypertek- i kinda like those ones....

twitchy · 12-15-2004, 12:52 PM

yep...those hipposleek ones are gross

but at least they probably arent 2 grand and you can keep your old taillights while you wait for them.

mr_240sx · 12-15-2004, 12:56 PM

wow, those hipposleek led's are disgusting! they kinda look like altezza style lights and those lights are not ment to be on a 240!

CKAMC · 12-15-2004, 02:17 PM

both those lights are just so... ricey... clearcorners <3

s13Dr1ft · 12-15-2004, 02:25 PM

hmm...Not really feeling the LEDS..altezza things.

But i am lovin the ClearCorner ones...yum

rps13sh · 12-15-2004, 02:38 PM

im surprised they werent made by APC.

sideviewcivic · 12-15-2004, 02:40 PM

yah the lights suck but i like the green180 and the hood on it. I'd rock that setup then go up and ask mike for a set of his SPL LED 180-tails, and his Lo-pro LED head-lights.

pruto · 12-15-2004, 02:41 PM

well, the only thing is mike, your lights cost about twice as much if you count the cost of the core. its pimp, but you gotta pay to play.

that 3 lights thing is just nasty. eww, geez

nismo2491 · 12-15-2004, 03:08 PM

they remind me of the bug-eye fog lights that advance auto parts has
KEvin

Steeles · 12-15-2004, 05:05 PM

I wanna know whats up with the lipped out hammers on the black S14 in Hypertek's pic

seiyess · 12-15-2004, 05:20 PM

i think it looks good when it lights up so you don't see much chrome.
maybe it'll look better if the cover is colored red or housing is black..

seiyess · 12-15-2004, 05:30 PM

red like this..
hmm it's not bad man.. it looks cool when it lights up.

I'll send you a set to custom build by hand, you let me know how much you feel like charging afterwards. Then you might understand Mike's prices.

mr_240sx · 12-15-2004, 05:39 PM

^^^^^
I personally dislike those hipposleek led's!! they look too ricey!!

twitchy · 12-15-2004, 06:04 PM

they might look nice behind some smoked glass so you cannot see the ugly ugly LED setup but it would look nice when you hit the breaks

anyone ever do this?

SilviaDriver · 12-15-2004, 06:16 PM

thats just as worse

old_s13 · 12-15-2004, 06:20 PM

twitchy> but at least they probably arent 2 grand and you can keep your old taillights while you wait for them.

Either you can afford our products, or you cannot. Its up to you to decipher whether or not our products are worth what they cost, and worth the trouble it takes to attain them. Do you want something off-the-shelf that is mass-produced and looks like its mass produced? How unique will you feel when the next S13 you see has the same lights you do?

JDM Rice runs our tail lights, there is a reason why everyone loves his car and its unmistakeable. Even on the track, his tail lights stand out like fire...

R240NA> I'll send you a set to custom build by hand, you let me know how much you feel like charging afterwards. Then you might understand Mike's prices.

Hey Russ, did you see the new S14 lamps? Let me know if you ever want a set... I'de love to hook you up and have your car featured on the site. Shoot me an e-mail if you're interested.

mr_240sx · 12-15-2004, 06:24 PM

Old_s13: do you know what size of rims jdm rice has? and the offset? and did you get my e-mail about the low-profile pop-up projectors?

ace240sx · 12-15-2004, 07:23 PM

But wait, if you're so right, how come NO ONE has made anything that can even come close to what we sell?

People that think our lights rock: EVERYONE

Thanks.

Then by all means, please, if it's so easy then do a pair and show us. I'd love to see your amazing skills.

Var · 12-15-2004, 09:03 PM

The lights are worth what people are willing to pay. They are priced correctly. There are things you have to take into consideration.

*the cost of running a business
*the mere unique factor
*excellent craftsmanship
*the fact that Mike cant sell 10 pairs of lights everyday. He has to make enough money for it to be worth it to him and hold him over until he sells the next set.

Mike if i'm wrong and you sell 10 set of lights every day then

lower your prices biatch.
