i think you're talking about the jdm evo vii tail lights...the one that looks like the 99-00 civic tails right? top red and bottom clear? they're around $380 brand new and between $250 to $300 used. that's one of those where you have to pick either you're gonna spend that $380 for a set of tail lights or a cat back exhaust...lol!

i think the previous owner was going for the look of the evo ix mr tails where at night those are all you see when they light up since the housing on mr's are black.

 

[JohnS.]

MR's aren't worth it. For the extra couple thousand, the extra tenth or few tenth's ain't it worth it (if it's even that much faster).

But damn both cars look sexy.

 

[bcivichb]

dont know anything about evos, did the interior come like that stock or from the previous owner? you can just black out the tails if you dont like them

 

[ST8JDM]

EVO .... man i wish i could get one !!! how much did you pay for it >????? is it really that great ??? from every point of view ??

how much is ur insu.

 

[boricuacvc]

just sand that black off and repaint the tails with transparent candy apple red ... should look aight.

hey bro...that sounds like a good idea...how exactly do i do that? what grit sandpaper do i use and what kind of spray paint will i use? thanks man!

 

[fliposopher]

daym sweet ride bro.

 

[watisjdm]

lookin nice man i have always loved those cars

 

[ShinsenTuner]

You could probably just rub paint thinner on a rag and rub it on the taillights until the black paint is off... then repaint with the candy red

yeah..i was thinking that. but i'm worried it might blur out and put a haze on the clear plastic...i wanted to ask around if it's actually possible to do that.

 

[blare]

i say sell the evo and make the civic a 10sec car :X lol

 

[ReggieSD]

haha..nah..the evo's too fun to drive.

nooooo paint thinner. I know a guy who tried to remove the haze from his headlights and melted them that way so I would be carefull. Paint thinner is never a good idea on plastic. Nice evo though

 

[weksos]

very fun cars to drive!

 

[ReggieSD]

yep they are...it's even more fun today driving it to work here in dallas, tx since the weather's pretty bad...you can really feel how well it handles.

i just got a perrin down pipe, logic performance cat back, and apexi filter for it and waiting for the ups guy...i also bought me a greddy counterweight shift knob to give some better shift throws..lol! psyched!
