Is it possible to remove the orange or cover it maybe with lamin-x? Do you think it would even look good?

Brian

you probably COULD, but I don't really know WHY you would want to.

smoke red vinyl would do the trick if you could get the perfect color. try photoshopping it to see what it would look like on a vehicle.

lamin-x and be the first to do it.

i'm sure if you took the tails apart you could get rid of the amber or cover it up inside.
but that'd be retarded.

zenki.life

if you take the orange out they end up looking like those ebay lights. dont do it please

Yeah I definitely don't want it to look like the ebay tails for sure. I'm a lamin-x dealer so I can hold up some samples when my tail lights come and see what they look like. I supposed its not enough orange to ruin a color scheme anyways haha

Let me see if I can photoshop a couple different examples.

Brian

these lights NEVER ruin a "color scheme"

Well here's a quick photoshop:




I'm not so sure I like it, but I'll have to keep looking at it for a few days. I did find some of these other tail lights and I kinda like them. It might just be the inner ricer in me but on a car with 500whp, I think I can manage







Anyone know what tails these are?

S-Nation S13

^^^o wow regardless of the tail light set-up i think the car it self makes up for it..i say do what you want..your the one driving it and nobody eles ..its YOUR car!! lol

Brian

i THINK both those cars have HIPPO SLEEK lights.

I had 2 sets a couple years ago, and those look pretty similar.

hippo sleek eh? they look pretty good imo. Who sells them?

Brian

here? nobody that I know of.

You would probably need to talk with a company that brings in J parts for you.

RHDjapan does this.

P.S. The Hippo Sleek are probably pretty expensive.

They are all LED and come in a clear version or a smoked version and they DON'T come with the center panel or lower metal ganish (nor the keys and lock for that matter)

IMO if u paint the orange. it looks like a knockoff of kouki tails

Bushido

those led tails are produced by Junyan and Hippo sleek is one of the distributors that sell them as their own product, Junyan is the Taiwanese company that produces most altezza style lights...

if you decide to go with them, my advice to you would be to use an oem kouki 180sx center light/lock/key and apply some transparent red oracal vinyl to the outside to get rid of the cheezy clear/smoked look. also use some aquarium silicone to seal them up as they aren't sealed from the factory very well. Don't forget the butyl either.

not the led type, but heres how mine turned out:

lol junyan.

the name is now here!


it would be nice if some of the companies decided to do a LITTLE extra work and at least use a unique box to see that stuff in.

i.e. The URAS sidemarkers I got for my old S14. All the junyan part numbers were there and everything. All URAS does is put a small sticker on the box.

junyan got it on lock.

heres mine and my car is blue and it looks like pure sex

*just being honest*

Kouki*Monster

oh yah and that orange for the signlas is real sexy haha if i could drive my car with my hazards on at all times i would.

White Comet

I agree 100000% dude the kouki tails could NEVER make your car look worse, once you put 'em on you'll see. Butt if they do look good with the lamin-x dude totally rock 'em the 1st and start a trend

ThatGuy

If you want tail lights that look cheap and ugly, then buy cheap, ugly lights.

No need to screw up perfectly good lights.

kouki tails can make a crappy car look decent.
don't paint the centers x1000 like everyone said.

HyperTek

I agree, and color matched centers looks awesome

the carbon overlay on the center piece can look tits too..
painted looks good as well.
i was speaking about the orange part.

HyperTek

when i had em, i thought clear would look good, but you cant do it.
the 180sx overlays, i dunno, they are taped on, someone could just rip it off.

Just keep em OG, you dont want people asking you "did you get those off ebay?" lol
