Cheap kouki lights.......

[kppk1986]

So what do you guys think of these lights.... they are the cheap altezza ebay lights that were painted to look like the koukis....

[sleepyRPS13]

nice..im been planning to do the samething too.btw the center panel backup lights should be slanted

[dvd]

hahah i was thinking of that too...ehh looks weird though, maybe you can buy the real center piece and it might look better.

I have seen real center peices (180sx) go for 50 shiped in the B/S/T fourms. Shouldn't be that hard to find.

[amolao]

Thats pretty original, maybe if the red paint was a little darker.....but it looks good and is a cheaper option.....

[thekage]

like they said.. original..I kind of like it.. Any more pics??

[thekage]

what did you paint it with?

[mmatl16]

dont shake your head. I just dont like it. looks ricey to me. I always say do it right the first time or dont do it at all. those are not real kouki's. any 240 owner who knows anything is gonna be able to tell. save the extra money and get the real thing

[hannibal]

Who cares if theyre not real type x lights? Its not like buying a knock off Tial WG or something.

If it looks good, do it...

[mmatl16]

I just dont like it.

quoting myself....I wouldnt do it. its just my opinion. to each his own. he did ask for our opinions

[GhostDriver]

I think it looks pretty damn good for what it is.

[Stev0n]

its nice... just needs the amber in the middle of each tail...

[NIGHTfall_240sx]

im impressed man. they actually dont look bad painted over.... the clear is just gross imo, but with a red layer, thumbs up bro!

[nismofly]

i was worried when he said altezzas, but those arent at all...theyre more like stock evo tails

they are nice indeed

[Axel Grungy]

yeah i thnk it looks good, just needs to be a lil more glossy

[Florida240sx]

I wouldn't put them on my car but at first glance I thought about it.They do look nice though.Awesome idea and cost effective.

[thekage]

I think I am going to do it later sometime.. call me cheap or call me ricey.. but I think it looks DAMN nice for what it is..

[nismofly]

how much do they cost?

[kppk1986]

these arenet mine.... i just saw them on another forum...

[kppk1986]

they cost 180 shipped on ebay and what if i did this with the black ones...

[nismofly]

oh i thought you were thinking about getting them

i almost got koukis and decided not to until i do a few other things first...theyre just too expensive unless youve pretty much finished all the performance stuff you want to do

however these could be a cheaper alternative, even to something like the clearcorners.com removing of the amber from the tails

[kppk1986]

nismo fly how much did those kosei wheels cost on your cardomain page????

[nismofly]

they look better solid red imo...but seeing as theyre over $300 cheaper than normal koukis its definately an improvement over the altezzas

anyway you have to catch the wheels at the tire rack, they only get a few sets in at a time

but if you get lucky, i got mine for like 460 shipped...they could be anywhere between that and like 525 shipped depending on certain things

either way though you have to call tire rack, they dont have them for our car on the website

[Dattebayo]

ehh... no thanks. It would be better if the blackened the background, even with the red tint.

But its an improvment.

[kppk1986]

this is a pick before the guy did the paint.... i think it looks alot better than before...

[GhostDriver]

Gross...

[wickedpelf]

i think that looks damned good...i like those lights...but not the *Bling Bling* ones...i like the black ones...i was thinkin about getting those and using the spray tint and tinting them that would look pretty nice...but great way of takin something ugly and making it pretty man!
