I agree.. i don't think it'll work without some SERIOUS modding... but I'm interested noetheless.. hope it works out for ya..

*edit*... i just looked at my coupe and sedan side by side... it's NOT gonna work dude... not unless you plan on rearranging the gas tank cap

I wanna see that! if you take a gutted coupe tail light and put the inside of a sedan in it with some custom fab it could work, don't know what it's going to look like but I'm interested!

The easiest way to see the difference between the coupe and sedan lights by size it to look at the blinker. Ours are def. wider.

I was driving behind a sedan today, after being behind it for a while I am not quite sure the rear lights would look good on the A/C. Too much going on in my opinion. I think the lights look the best when they are darker with the tint things.

THat being said this entire thread is a moot point because unless if you plan on completely retrofitting your trunk and rear quarters there is no way they will fit. The angles are slightly different.

lol, can't say I like this idea. Truthfully the sedan tails look a little euro to me.

Yes, I was being sarcastic because the hood is the only interchangeable part

And I agree that the sedan tails are too euro

Fail.

Whoever coined that term is an idiot...and especially never went to Europe. I spent the last two weeks in Europe for work, and LOVED taking in the new car sites.



However they have as many cars with "Euro" tails as we do in the US! Maybe even less...

You may have misunderstood how I meant it then. I LOVE EUROPEAN CARS.

I just think that the clear tail lights look better on european cars, and hondas can be blamed for that.

I mean more of the fake add on type lights that are coined as Euro.

And the car looks nice minus the swooping front which looks like a nose, haha.
