nice project! seems were doing some similar mods to our cars. youve been fitting the 3 piece taillights and ive been removing and refinishing that same prior job, i removed the 3 piece spoiler and filled all the holes (the prior owner molded parts of the spoiler to the body) so i had to fill all those holes too. anyways, i just recently lined up my new bumper, installed the support bracket for it. now i think ill be needing a new intercooler (since it'll be exposed now) ill be painting her a charcoal gray metallic, with black features and carbon fiber thrown in. ill post a few pics.

Way to ruin a good pair of 89+ tails.

Did you paint the windows???

Looks good. The only color I like better on a MKIII is gunmetal.

Umm... no. JDM lenses are just a cherry red, they're not smoked or blackened. That car has an actual aftermarket COVER... but yes, the underlying lenses are tinted. And I merely think it's a waste.

There's a guy around here who painted his windows with black spray paint... tail lights, head lights and fog lights as well. He painted the side windows and all the lights with LOTS of (crooked) thin lines of black so some light could still get though . It's a black RX7.



BTW, you mean they're, not there. They're (they are) not over there( a place); They're in their (they possessive) car.

It bugs me but whatever, you're not asking me for help with your car so spell and punctuate however you like I'll just ignore it if it bugs me. It's your image after all; I mean you can be bothered to learn to spell Japanese slang but can't use a period, capital letter or the right English word? It just blows my mind. No wonder the Japanese and Europeans think we're all ignorant. I'll drop it now... been seeing a lot of this lately and I should just use my ignore list more.

With the tights you'll get little credit from the Supra purist crowd. I think blackouts are too common; I prefer either stock and polished to look like glass or a custom cover or paint/tint job. Did you leave the small retroreflectors unpainted though? That does look odd.

Have you ever seen the rare silver/clear tails which were available in Japan? They're VERY odd. I'll see if I can find a picture.
