Has anyone seen hatchback tails on a coupe/vert (S13)?

[Conquerer]

I was just staring at the rear of a convertible for a while and wondered how it would look. I'm not sure exactly what you'd have to do in order to do it properly, but it would be interesting to see. Anyone have pics?

The other way around would be interesting too.

it would look like ****. hatch tails belong on hatches, coupe tails belong on coupes. hatches are more round in the rear where coupes are flat.

[Conquerer]

Yeah, I know it would look ****ed but part of me really wants to see what it would look like.

[jeff420]

damn you, now you got me curious what this bastard child would look like, lol

couldn't have said it better myself.

Swapping the taillights for whatever god awful reason ruins the lines of the car.

in most cases yes. ive seen some niiiice ratrods/hotrods that had very nice tail light swaps done. but in general it ends up sucking

I just quickly shopped it myself.



Looks very fugly but I'm sure it would look better in real life, instead of a poor shop job.

eww at least you coulda put 180sx tails on it. lol. thats what i had invisioned. wow hatch tails are ugly, i need to ditch mine and go with 180sx tails. lol

[Conquerer]

Yeah, I was going to try to 180 tails as well but now I don't really feel like it. Maybe tomorrow.

But here's another quick photoshop to get a basic idea, the other way around:

Eh, whatever, here's the Kouki:



It's a pretty bad photoshop job especially since the kouki lights pic was of a different height, but whatever. I realize all these photoshops are failures but I guess you get the basic idea and I effectively answered my own question.

Still, any real pics would be great.

I'm glad I haven't had anything to eat this morning.

Not the shop jobs, just the idea of how bad it would look.
