Check them out.
I can’t wait to put them on. Goodbye early 90’s ugly ass lights!
Can’t go wrong for $145 shipped. The red is a little darker than the pics too. In the pics there’s a bit of orange, there is NO orange in them at all. Just a very deep red. I happy with how they turned out.

Which tail lights are those? Those kouki ones or whatever acually stick out, they aren’t flush like those…

They look really good and you can’t go wrong with the price.
What paint did you end up using?

I ended up using Testors Translucent Candy Red. Thanks silvia\_s13! You were right.
Flavio I talked to a few friends about it and it turns out a friend of mine has this exact same paint on his Civic taillights. He painted them like 3 years ago and they look fine. I never even knew they were painted til last week! Even if I need to re-do them once a year I’m still happy.

I did mine 2 years ago with some Anodized paint from CT and they are pretty much back to amber again. Maybe ill try that stuff over winter.

Thanks guys, I agree they sure do look good. Put em on tonight and took 10 years off the back of my car. Looks so much newer and modern.
I painted the center section. If anyone wants them Bings has them for $155 shipped regular preice I think.
I’ll get some pics up tomorow. I didn’t bring my camera to the shop.
