I'm rocking the 90's-style clear tail lights. I actually like those TYC atlezza type lights with the black housing. Oh god, I said an altezza light looks good. Shoot me, please.


I like the look of the all red rear lights on the Integras. Just make sure you keep the reverse light clear to make the police happy. Testors makes a transparent candy apple color which many people use to "red out" their tail lights. I think you can find it at many hobby shops.

I'm going to take mine to a body shop and have them smoked. Nightshades looks good on the small stuff (i.e. turn signals, corner lights, etc), but I don't think it looks right on large lights.
Yeah, and what do I do if my SUPER BRIGHT LOOK AT ME ORANGE turn signals are more than half as big as my headlights?

Whats ricer to one person might not be to another, I never said anything about Alteezas or worse APC, but I'm sure plenty of peeps here have products from them. (I personally don't)

I know one thing I hate them Amber lights, and I rather be called a ricer than have Amber lenses...

I used Nite Shades to tint (more like blackout) my headlights, turn signals, and parking/reverse lights. Nobody has ever, to my face or on an internet forum, called my car ricey. Just make sure you do a nice job and it doesnt look tacky.

I redded out my tail lights on my civic, except the reverse indicator. Looked good.

or just a noob
Bro just because I'm new to this forum doesn't mean I'm a noob, If you haven't notice I'm driving a 1989 Integra

Thats an old school ride, and things like tinted tail lights are "old school". It just looks right

I made less than 20 post and already got flamed, thanks for the welcome

nonono ....you missunderstood...I also got rid of my ambers on my teg... PM "tampasoriginalsilvia" he will tent them red for 15 bucks! looks great....

The part of ricer was that you said....and i quote-"so I want to use the tinted ones for meets etc".... Your going to change your tails just to go to meets!?!? It's not that cool of a mod...
