View Full Version : Carbon Fiber Tail Lenses

I was checking ebay for parts for my S14 and I came across these Carbon Fiber Taillights. It looks like they cut the carbon fiber sheets to fit around the lights and then glued it on. I think it looks tuff. What do you guys/gals think? Could it be done easily? Where do you get carbon fibre sheets?

Ah man, don't steal my idea! Frigger!!
How do you buy carbon stickers?
CF sticker? If you have to do it, atleast use the real thing :confused:
And moose, that sig is really annoying. Not being a jerk trying to make you to change it, just figured i'd let you know...you do more harm than good thay way.

What is wrong with you? The number one thing this world needs right now is Jesus, and you shouldn't be the one to condemn it. My sig speaks for who I am, and it was designed to make people think. If your a christian, than thank god, but for all those people out there who aren't, that's the #1 thing they need.
Back to the lenses, um is it fake carbon fiber? It looks good at least.

The #1 thing I need is a 240sx that can run a 9sec 1/4 mile and still be streetable/reliable....if Jesus can help me with this then I'm all for it.
Oh, as for the CF thing. Yeah, at least use real CF. If just start sticking on CF stickers I'm gonna call you a ricer...;) :rolleyes:

So, does the carbon fibre sticker reduce weight? Does it really matter if it is real carbon fibre or not if it is just a sticker? What if I made a carbon fibre undertray from stickers -- would it work? What if I scraped out all of reflective material in my taillights and replaced it with carbon fibre stickers?
Where's that stupid "Ricers make Jesus cry" picture when you need it? :rolleyes:

I think it's an absolute waste of time and money; and a pathetic attempt to draw attention to yourself.
I also think that a 240sx forum is an pretty damned inappropriate place for u to sell your religion.

cf sticker runs about $25-$30 a roll, prolly six foot by 3 foot. I used it on my center console to cover up a hole in my dash from the previous owner.
it looks really freakin gay

stickers? c'mon..if u gonna use CF, use the real deal not CF lookalike stickers.
also, i was wondering..those CF dash pieces. are they REAL CF that you stick onto your dash or are they CF sticker lookalikes

wow, that does look gay. hahhaha :D Yeah I'm really not into that whole CF interior but you had to do what you had to do i suppose. Atleast you did a clean job on it. But where was the whole at? You couldve just replaced the dash panel. There are always s13's getting parted out, or just waiting to get parted.

OK so does anyone know where to get the REAL carbon fiber sticker sheets. Do they even make em?
MikeFD3S
02-09-2003, 04:14 PM
the real carbon fiber isnt a sticker sheet
it's a big piece of rough weave, and you have to put resin over it and let it cure.
it's similar to raw fiberglass.
I gotta dig up the link...theres an online wholesaler that sells everything (resin, fibreglass, kevlar, carbon fiber, mold making stuff)
those tail lights are ricey. I should have thought of making that first... i'd be rich!

god help me.There is no such thing as REAL carbon fibre stickers, and if there is someone should be shot.
Know why ppl use c-fibre to make parts? It's light and strong.
Know why ppl use c-fibre stickers? 'cause they wanna' look mad phat yo!
I thought we left the vinyl flame stickers behind us, guess they've just been replaced w/ fake composites.....terrifying...

O.K O.K
So if they made REAL CF taillights with the REAL CF, not the fake stuff, but the REAL stuff would you buy them? Would you buy them if they came from Japan or if the Japanese had them on their car? When you see CF do you automatically say "RICER" OR "GAY"? Why? I'd like to know why everyone razes everyone else about Rice this and Rice that. I mean I won't get into that because we already did, but seriously.
If it looks good, then go with it. Who's going to come up to your car and say:
"oohhh, not REAL CF, you're a ricer! Stupid loser, hey check out this ricer!"
I mean I've seen some crappy CF and some alright looking and I think this looks alright. It makes you look different from the other 240's out there. Sure it would be great if they had the REAL CF on the taillights, but what else is really REAL in this world??

um..let's see. CF is good hood and all that, weight savings. but STICKER? add on? for what...looks. ok. looks=no go fast=just look s"mad tyte" = rice. duh.
but if you like making yoru car look so fast and oooh cf panel! then go ahead...
"oohhh, not REAL CF, you're a ricer! Stupid loser, hey check out this ricer!"
actually, i do. hahahaha...
Sure it would be great if they had the REAL CF on the taillights, but what else is really REAL in this world?? [/B]
hm..maybe real carbon fiber and NOT a sticker! that would be real. how about a REAL performance mod for you car rather then the bling bling that makes it SEEM faster/lighter.
why not buy something that enhances its performance?!

Meh, I think those taillights look nice :o Not everything has to be about performance, looks like a little highlight of the taillights that not many would even notice, atleast its not glow in the dark carbon fibre.

its not even about just all performance - who gives a damn how somebody else tunes their cars - i mean what the ****, its their car and if they like it, then let them go ahead and do it - ****.
also - so fast to accuse him of being a ricer yet his post is on the topic of wether or not you guys like it - apparently he hasnt purchased it yet
all this 'rice ' drama ****es me off
now personally, id never do such a thing - but that is because it does not suit my taste at all. perhaps this guy actually likes it? *gasp* how about that!
i like trance music, but lots of people dont like trance music - do i get condemned for it? no. im an 'anti-rice person' to the extent of my own opinion, and i dont think that people should be classified as ricers. allthough, perhaps my point of view is blurred because i alone do not have a well-tuned-street-machine like all of you zilvia vets.

I agree that it looks kinda neat--they'd definitely look better if it was real CF resinated onto the plastic, but this is one of the best fake CFs I've seen. I think those taillights would look decent on a white '95-'96--especially w/ gunmetal rims & Euro headlights.
And like ca18guy said--No, it's not a performance mod--it doesn't make your car lighter or quicker. But these taillights aren't a drastic appearance change--unlike 19" BBS rims (nothing against the rims--just an example of a very noticable, drastic change in appearance) or a huge fart can, or even flames painted down the side of the car. The taillights are somewhat subtle and tasteful.

[email protected]%$.
Your attitudes suck- check yourself.
Got me - shallow, etc. But with all due respect, when someone takes a tacky ricer trend from two years ago and applies it to 240's like it was the next big thing and DOESN'T get flak for it -- well, that's the day I think this board is becoming immature and going to (whatever word is represented by seven dingbats).
FWIW, I would never look beyond someone's car in accusing them of being a ricer -- that IS what the term is about, right? I think if the "what is a ricer" discussions have settled anything around here it is that the term is correctly applied to an individual with suspect automotive taste.

well yes i would yell "ricer" and run if someone had cf stickers..
well id first pick at it to see if it was real...and then id run...:D

Ok, I take back what I said earlier. It doesn't make a difference if you use REAL CF or FAKE CF. The fact is that either one would just be the stock lights covered in something. This to me would be "ricey". Not that you are, but you did ask for our opinions. It's still your decision to do it or not. I think it would be easy to do if you took your time and did it right the first time.
As for everyone else....
knives: STFU. Moose did mess up saying stuff in some posts. But look at you. You didn't even give a comment to the subject. You, to me are far more stupid than moose.
deltrr: Yes, let him do what he wants to his car. But he was the one that asked our opinions. Calm down a little. No need to get that butt-hurt about it.
James: You're a ricer!!!!:p j/k Again, HE ASKED. And we answered. If we said "wow, that looks great" and lied then that would be immature. Oh, and what is your take on them. Do you like it or not?:D Sorry if I failed to see your take on it...
Where is Jeff to warn people when you need him...:rolleyes:

if YOU like the look go for it, you drive the car, no one else. some people like doing performance mods and some like apperance mods. to each his own. are you "RICEY" i would say no, your not trying to make your car look fast, but trying to make it look good.
some one mentioned you were trying to jump on a bandwagon that died 2 years ago, you are a fool, maybe he likes the look aand doesnt care if it is a fad that died 2 years ago. its his car, he drives it, and im sure he is proud to be seen in it. except for the fact that the cf stickers added like 3 ounces and pushed him into, what the 23 second 1/4.
dont get me wrong, i love a fast performance oriented car, but i also need it to look good.
hell, my system in my car weighs over 400lbs, am i a RICER for sounding fast, you can NEVER please everyone, so just please yourself.

02-10-2003, 01:01 AM
people had mentioned " its cool if it is real cf" but another person had posted he would have to pick at to see the differance.
if you cant tell the differance standing 12 inches away, and you have to pick at the sticker, to tell it is real, why bother buying real for 4x the price.
and hippo- youre high and mighty attitude really sucks
for some one to have "suspect automotive tastes" you must mean something that you dont approve of. open your mind, stop being a fool. what size tires do you have on your car?

yea id concur with you about making you car look fast.. how would you define making a car look fast?.. i just want to make my car look better... theres never going to be a right answer for this anyway.. so oh well..
but people just like to judge.. i dont like to speed.. but its automatically assumed i have to be turbo/SR.. yea.. for all my high speed romps to the speed limit.. yea.. im gonna spend 6000 dollars on that.. no thanks not at this point in my life..
yea people here like to think that we all have this need for speed and have to go racing at the track.. sorry.. no thanks im a full time student and work 30 hours a week..
so ive spent all my time and hard earned money into making MY car meet MY purposes in MY life.. its not much, but I love MY car..

o.k o.k, since I started this thread I guess you people deserve some explaination.
The reason I posted this is because I wanted your opinion on it. I NEVER said I was going to buy it, nor did I ever say I was going to buy CF stickers. If you remember, it was never me that said I wanted CF stickers, heck I didn't even know what they were! So, this heated battle about rice is so stupid.
It doesn't make your car go faster no, I know. It doesn't make your car lighter, I know.
It's strictly cosmetic.
Some of you guys actually have too much to say sometimes. It's like you dictate style and preference, and everyone has to be hip or they are not.
I sure wouldn't want to end up that way.
Nobody should dictate style. Style is your own preference and it speaks about how you customize your car. What does a spoiler do? Wether it be fiberglass or CF it still is cosmetic. So in all, I think we need to just respect what other users have to say, and everyone needs to read what was the VERY FIRST QUESTION before jumping in.

one more time moose:
you ask for opinons because you care a bit too much what everyone else thinks about your ride. You ask for opinions but don't want to hear them; all u want is for us to tell u is how cool you'd be; well it's not going to happen.

Man, people on here have a complex about being "ricey" in the same way a 7th grader has a complex about having a small penis. I think it looks good, and actually I would not mind doing it to my car. Is my car rice? NO Do I like cheep mods that are realitively original and look good, yes. All these guys that go on and on about rice this and rice that, basically have never even bothered taking their cars to a track, so they cannot brag about making their cars faster, and cannot drift, as hard as they may try to convince you they do. Does this make THEM ricers? By their definition, yes. Being rice is reserved for the people that put GTR emblems with giant APC stickers on their cars. Trying to make your car look better is not "rice", so stop trying to make it sound that way.

Excellent reply.. 95% agree. (the spoiler thing was a bit funny, but you are right that most people buy them for the cosmetic aspect..)
it's funny how every 3 months or so.. there comes up some big debate/controversy about Rice, or Flaming or whatever, and everyone talks about Zilvia going in the hole.. LOL.. then the people shooting all the critisism to the people simply giving their opinions realize THEY are the ones that need to respect the opinions of others. This is a public forum, with users of all races, creed, nationality, and even TASTE. This means there will conflicting interest on MANY subjects. Period. Welcome to the Internet!

Moose and live2drift2live2drift2live, etc. win. There is a point where you realize you are shouting to the wind.
I guess we are at a point here where a sticker that is designed to resemble a go fast part (actual carbon fiber) is an appearance mod. This is the same logic that would allow a NAWS switch, as an appearance mod, even if no actual NAWS was present. The same logic that allows spoilers that run in dirty air and/or create no downforce.
If it tries to resemble go fast parts, but offers no go fast benefits, it is rice -- or at least it was before the recent "I'm okay, you're okay" belief about the subject.

HAHAHA!!!! The every 3 months thing is so true!:rolleyes: Sometimes we relapse earlier though....:p
Alright, everyone should listen to this. Errr...read....;) Just read the original question. Post what you think. If you think it's rice, FINE, it's your opinion. If you think it looks nice, FINE, that is your opinion too. What I'm trying to say is something that has been said many times before. TO EACH HIS OWN. All the people that come in here and post about how they think everyone is an @$$hole needs to go and think about it. The people that posted that said it was rice gave their opinion on it. Well thought out or not. You only need to give your opinion on the topic. This little post shouldn't be needed here. Unless done by a mod. I suggest that a mod give a warning to everyone to stay ON topic now. Or, lock this thread...:rolleyes:

they aren't that bad. And if it is just a sticker then they did a good job. But looking at how the carbon fiber goes into the locking hole and how it wraps around the lights makes it look kind of real! But i don't know.

I agree--from the pics, it looks to be a very clean job. That couldn't have been very easy or quick to do. I tried to find a flaw in any of those pics, and I didn't find a single crooked-cut or anything.

See, that's what I'm talking about. It's really cool, and it's clean. Usually if you did that yourself it would look like it was a sticker, but it isn't and it well done.
I don't think they are worth $200 though, but pretty cool.

I like them...but not worth THAT much.
I rather get 97/98 tails.

you guys didn't find anything because the pictures aren't close up, it's in low light, and it's just a picture. the one closeup of around the keyhole shows a few bubbles, i would imagine there are other imperfections as well.$265 for those things?? give me a set of springs a brake pads instead.

It barely fills half my screen width. You all need to get 19" monitors for optimum travis'-signature viewing.
It all goes both ways.
It doesn't bother me if a ricer thinks I'm an asshole for running baloony fat tires on steel wheels, no radio, and a stock exhaust.
It shouldn't bother them, then, that I think carbon fiber stickers are silly, and, true to the spirit of all that is long grain and sticky, merely a sad imitation of performance.
Visual mods are cool with me... I'd probably like this taillight mod if it was done in body color or black (in fact I've seen it done that way). The bling-bling carbon look just irks me though.

this thread is too funny. all i have to say is that today, i was behind an s14 in a McD's drive through. it's the first time i've really really stared at the s14 lights. but the taillights were perfectly fine. they flowed with the car. seeing this carbon fiber look alike stuff, on these poor quality pictures, i'll admit, looks like ****. maybe it's because i don't own an s14 and i'm not used to seeing the tallights every time i walk outside. but i don't think it looks all that great. not saying you shouldn't do it, because i don't care really but, you did ask a forum of 5000 people what they thought.
