Euro Tails!!!, for a 6th gen celica HB Options

[jussten]

Actully theyre not real which u could probably tell for urselves, but i couldnt sleep and got a little photoshop happy and this was the end result, i wish i had these on my celica, it'd be cool if we could get someone to make them like usfiberglass is doing for the body kit.

Ya know, if those were CF tails, i would be interested if they were made.

[turboinduction]

i'm not a fan of euro tails... but that looks really good

kudos for your photoshop abilities

[Andason]

those are hella phat

[Akimbo]

I admit I've seen Euros I like. I hate the ones that are bright chrome. Some euros only flow with a certain color of car.

[Andason]

[jussten]

yeah its meant to be like a black or dark grey housing, it doesnt show that well though, i hate the chrome housing on tails, these are supposed to look similar to the rx8 tails i choped off the circles from

too bad apc got owned by dot otherwise we'd have someone to make these

im not about to shell out 400 or whatever dollars for tail lights

[playr158]

dang someone really needs to find a company to make these and DOT approved at that lol

[ghostdog]

I hate to say it but those are pretty cool. the offset rounded lights nicely mirror the headlights on our cars. good work.

[celicarocker]

if i had a HB, id throw them on....

[Akimbo]

What do you mean got owned by DOT?

I always kind of liked these:

hey hey... i'm not all for rice.. but those look pretty good

ALL CAPS IS REALLY HARD TO READ

and owned by DOT (department of transportation) means that the companies cant make products that are illegal. Which is like all of them. In turn means that they cant make many products because of all the work to make them DOT approved.

[celicaman96]

I have to agree, I don't really like the euro tails, simply because they've been waaaaaaaaaay overdone. Its like, every car can get em basically. I've even seen them on mini-vans. But those look pretty unique and match the Celica's curves really nicely.

[PhillyGuy086]

i really really like these! almost like the afterburners but waayyyyyyy better!! mad props on the photo chop if we are really interested in this i am willing to contact apc or someone like that with the proposal.

[macavely]

some one should try contacting one of those companies that make all those light for the hondas that aren't street legal...(off road us only lights) maybe they will be willing to make those for us..

[jussten]

not all euro tails are for ricers, im far from one, theyre meant to be more of the s2000 tail light variety not those cheap silver lights u see on most civics, looking at your invader front some would call u a ricer, im not but some would, i dont know how u could make a connection with an aluminum wing and these tails...some tails are in good taste and i think these are compared to most, im just tired of my stock tails and dont see too much difference in the jdms, not 250 dollars worth anyways, although i'll probably end up getting some sometime if theres no other options

That rear is unbelievable. I am currently in the process of making custom Euro tails but that rear apron is something i am considering doing for a long time as the rear of the GT4 shows a lot of underbody. Especially love the fact that my GT4 is also silver and i now have a view of how things will probably turn up.

Thanks.

[PhillyGuy086]

what ever happened to this idea? somone on another thread said they submitted them to apc or somewhere but i haven't heard a thing bout that. if we have enough interest i will contact them...

[shid]

Yeah.. what did happen to this.. I'd totally be done- if the inside were cherry red instead of silver/chrome... like on JDM EVOVIIs

[vangSTa_celica]

those look awesome...great job...id be interested if u contacted them...

[DustyBurns30]

i would still be down like i said before. i would prefer them to be carbon fiber backed.

[shid]

so sexy.. I want..

[turboinduction]

[PhillyGuy086]

ok im going to email apc and euro light first thing in the morning...if you have any other ideas like the cherry back evo thing try and photo chop it so i can send it to them also...i dont have the software to chop...ok? anything else just let me know

[initialdrift55]

those euro lights in the same color as the ones on the evo would look sick! i wanna see that

[fastgt]

our coupes are never gonna get anything...hbs have the afterburner lights and jdm...we have curren...i like the curren tails but we need selection, i guess its the shape..i dunno, we got boned

[neoklis]

I have already e-mail 4-5 companies (including APC) and their answer was that they dont carry any products for the 6gc and that they didn't had plans for the 6gc for the future.

give it another try though as this was along time ago and maybe they changed their mind.

[PhillyGuy086]

hey...ok i emailed the guy and i just got a response today...this is some major bull s**t. here is waht the guy sent me..:

Dear Derek:

Thank you for your interest in APC products. We have reviewed your sample
rendering and I believe that is a very nice tail. Please give whoever Photo
Shopped this piece props.

In order to tool up a taillight, I need a firm commitment of 5,000 orders to
even consider production of a taillight. If you and your forums can round
up this amount of people and if they are able to pay approximately $195 per
set and can wait 8-10 months for tooling and testing we can look at going
forward with this request.

If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me anytime.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

John Reynolds
Product Development

i would just like to say now that this sucks big time. well it looks like this wont be happeneing...but im gonig to go ahead and try some other companies. sorry for the set back guys.


Derek

[shid]

APC = big company. Try somewhere else.

[neoklis]

confirmed orders of 5000 times minimum $100 profit each equals $500,000 profit instantly. For that amount i can start up my own company for making tail lenses.

These people are unbelievable.
