Red/Amber 96-98 tails? Ambering out the clear?
I know it's a lame chop, but I was thinking about buying 96-98 OEM tails and painting the clear part amber with some clear amber paint...
Some examples and I can take down the Si if you want...sorry to chop on your car but it was a nice pic, and props to your car and new wheels.

I personally think the stock 99-00 lights look fine. When I had a 97 civic, I put in stock red and clears from a 99-00. If you do try it, make sure and post the pics. I'd like to see how it turns out.

A.) It looks like ****. 
B.) You'd have no reverse lights. (I know here in MA you'd get failed at inspection)
C.) Quit ******* around w/ the tail lights already and move onto something more productive.

I think it'd look pretty cool with some light layers of transparent amber, nothing opaque like your chop, just a nice light amber tint to the clear part. btw it's your car, and since you already voted, just go along with the decision you voted for.

Re: (JDMteggy)
BTW the Si had 96-98 tails on it but i photoshopped over the amber that was already present to go for a uniform color, but we all know it didn't turn out well...I can see that the Amber looks very good on EBP
If i painted my stock tails with stained glass transparent red paint, how can I get this off?

you know the funny thing is that i was looking at the back of a 350z in traffic today and thought that it might look pretty clean if somebody tried it on the back bumper lenses (reverse lights).. however those same 3 ideas came to my mind, not in any particular order
