Default anybody have this on the civic??

I just recently painted my coupe silver.. and the stock taillights look funky with it.. the orange on it especially doesnt look right. I was looking at this taillight on ebay. Does anybody have this.. or have seen it on a eg civic?? how does it look, and does it look kinda ricey??

I've seen them on, they don't look as bad as some of the others, but just keep your stock ones on.

you don't understand.. notice how most silver cars. .from factory has taillgihts that are just all red.. or mostly red.. like the 01 civic has tailights that are red.. and other cars too.... so my stock taillights especially with the orange looks totally out of place.

altezzas no matter what are ricey, if you have to change them at all I'd just go with half red half clear, no altezzas, I hate them with a passion

Yeah I have seen those tail lights on a few Civic's around here and I think they just look out of place on the car. If I was you I would keep the stock tail lights, I like the Amber in tail lights and corners and bumper lights it makes them look better with stock lights on the car I think. Sorry but I am not a fan of aftermarket lights.

I think they would look really clean on a silver car.

i really liked the half red.. half white one.. but the thing is.. i have to put red bulb covers on the signal lights.. since where it used to be orange.. its white now.. and having white signal lights are illegal. when i put those red bulb covers on... it looks pink... and it attracts cops... that's why i dont like them.

it almost looks like theyre too red. if they had a smoked version of those that might be a little better. but those would look better than the orange. i know what youre saying the orange stands out to much on a silver eg. i had one and just used the half red half clear tails. but mine never faded to shine pink.

you could always just use that tint spray stuff and make the signal darker. That wouldn't look so bad. If someone already posted about it sorry, i didn't read it all.

get the led brake light bulbs, they are hella red, when I had half red half clears I never got pulled over up here in seattle, I dunno how the boyz in blue are where you are from though, they look pink if you use the shitty bulbs they supply with the taillights.
