ok the conversion im trying to explain is for the del sol..its where the top is all red and the bottom clip is clear... a couple questions ..how do u do it..i know u use altezzas? correct? but what kind of paint to use to paint it red..is it illigal...if u have any pictures please post..itll be goin on a lexus graphite gray pearl sol..think itll look good with that color or will carbon fiber altezzas look better..iuno thanks though..i dont really wana go with the cf altezzas..cause altezzas are quite ricey

 

You need 1st Gen Altezza's and then you tape off the part you want to stay clear. Go get some red tint spray and spray them. Untape the part you taped off, then spray them with some clear coat.

 

found a picture

 

well any one know where i can pick up some first gen altezzas for cheap

 

hard to come by nowadays, especially the clean looking ones. might want to try eBay.com

 

those lights are ******* bad...good luck with it.

you guys think that same style would look good on a red eg hatch? ??

 

there are 50/50's made for the civic's. i don't think there are any altezza's like the 1st gen del sol's.
you can just paint your stock taillights all red, and leave the reverse unpainted.

 

thanks for the guidance bro

go to a wal-mart near you and go to the toy section and pick up a can of candy apple red paint by the toy model cars area (the bottle of paint is small but should be enough for both lights). me and all my buddies use it and it is great.

 

regular red/clears are the way to go

 

thanks

 

I dare you to find some for the sols... Well especially well priced ones... I think there was like 2-3 made by some guy--GOOD QUALITY, none of that this is my first time doing it ****.

i painted my hatch's lights. it has held together very well. I used the Candy apple transpparent red spray paint. it is found at model and craft stores. Like someone said before, the can is small but it will be plenty for your lights./

 

when you brake, the light that gives off still is a circle and looks like altezza's, try doing the 50/50 conversion that uses altezza's clear upper half lense and your stock sol tailights.

Am i the only one that thinks that looks like ****? Looks weird, especially with the red on top of the white.

agreed. that looks terrible. stock tail lights fo sho

 

I don't like it either. I tint sprayed mine....but then again its a black car. And some people dont like mine but thats ok cuz I did it for me and hopefully that is why the thread creator is doing it.

 

that guy doesnt even have those tails anymore, they were sold on ebay a while ago for a decent ammount(like $200 or so)

me too! gheyy

 

http://www.silvercircleeast.co....html step by step how to, good luck, i like this look, even if it does use altezzas

 

i like them
but the red should outline the bottom white part and it would look hotter

peace

 

i don't like how the 70/30 tail lights look on del sol. looks better on 92-95 civics, but thats just me.

 

there's a 70/30 for the civic? are you referring to the 50/50?

instead of getting the altezza, why don't you try to find ALL clear tails for your sol and just paint the top half red? that way you wont have the red circles light up when you brake from the 'tezzas.

thats what i did on my coupe back in the day when i had the all clears
