Well, since my car goes in the shop next week for the paint, i was thinking about doing a taillight conversion.
I was gonna do Supra tails, but thats been done too much.
I was thinking about the newer Solara taillights?

Black Chrome Alteeza?

Carbon Fiber Alteeza?

In my opinion, the carbon fiber altezza is hot looking. The others would look nice if the clear light didn't look like a gawdy diamond. The carbon fiber helps tone down the sections of the clear light, in my opinion. The black chrome doesn't.

I might just have to get the CF ones. Those will be the only carbon fiber on the car, but oh well.

Anyone know how close those r to the stock lines??
As in, will they match up right?

Just from looking at them, they don't look they'll match up to the existing place for the tail-lights very well, but those lights are sweet and I think it'd be an awesome conversion! I'd go for the carbon fiber Solara tails, and if you ever get sick of them, you can smoke them a bit or paint them all red. biggrin.gif

i disagree, i saw a solara today, and i think it will be pretty darn close to the curve angle.

Well, im getting my full strip and repaint for $1500.
Thats door jams, and as far in the engine bay possible w/o taking the engine out, shaving badges and fixing all the dings and dents.

Im gonna ask how much more on the conversion, prolly under $500.
