I just got a 1995 240sx, and have been looking everywhere trying to find a set of Euro tail lights for this thing, but I just don't believe they make them. If anyone knows where I can find a set of euro or altezza tails, as well as clear corner, front, and side markers, please let me know. I really need to find these. It is the last thing I need to finish this bad boy off, and make it look like I want it to. Thanks everybody.

Here we go again!

This VERY same question was started about 12 hours ago.... Use the search button or go down about two threads and read the one called, "Alzettas". Then do yourself a favor and delete this thread (goto "edit" and chose the delete option) . Then go buy a Honda!! :D j/k

Yeah, after I poster my thread, I saw that one, but nobody actually answered that guys question either. He wanted to know the same thing I am wanting to know, but did he get help, no, he got criticised. I know this isn't the best mod I could make for the money, but money isn't a prob;em here, and all of the enging mods are already taken care of, and I have got my body kit on the way, and just wanted to find a set of lights for the thing. Please, if anyone can help, if you think it is a good idea or not, please let me know. Thanks.

Or if anyone has seen the tail lights like are on that pick on that other post fron anti rice, please tell me where I can find them at.

This is a good example of the kind of posts that will get people banned here.

A post trying to get help from other people who may have more knowledge about where to get certain parts for a car that they probably know a little more about than I do. Damn, what kind of board is this? If it's like that, then ban me, I don't car. From now on, please don't bother to reply with criticism. If you can't help, don't reply.

Bobby:

I wasn't reacting to your post but matt's (the one I quoted), which I found unacceptable.

Check you email too.

Oh, and welcome to our club (even though it may not feel like it);)

Posting that to a forum isnt going to get you a good response...they dont really make altezza's for the 240...and its something we are proud of...they are made w/ poor quality, and look 'cheasy'...it really does ruin a car from an enthousiast point of view...if you really want lights, look at http://www.clearcorners.com they make clear lights....but no i would never recommend them to anyone...they are a 'ricer' trend, and you will lose respect around the community...but to each his own, ya know..

pretty much the only thing i can stand altezza's on is the toyota altezza/lexus is300. thats where those things were introduced, and they should have just stayed on those cars, not on every honda (and it looks like its soon to be 240[well, ricer owned 240]) you see.

It wasn't so much that you're looking for clear tail lights that I reacted to, it was the fact that the exact same question was posted earlier. I know it wasn't answered there... but you could have just asked again in that thread as opposed to starting a new one.... sorry if I came across as being a prick.... It's your car, if you like that look you should totally go for it.... personally I like those tri-star looking rims... and boy have I ever heard how hideous and "ricey" they are... I still want them though!:D

Mattback may have been mean, but he's right. There is no need for some ricer to get on the board. We want car enthusiasts, not morons that hold F&F up to be the f*cking Bible. The kid is doing everything ugly to his car, and you expect real racers and enthusiasts to be nice to him? SUCKS to that.

I too say GO AWAY, post on some Honda board.

Sorry, Apexi, I disagree with you. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.. Just because you disagree with Bobby doesn't mean he's wrong. There are many that like the Alteeza look. I'm not one of them, as I think they're ricey too. But If he likes the look of Alteeza lights, I hope someone on this bb that knows something about them steps forward and helps him find some.

Ok, my car is already fast, and I have no problem with making it look good (to me) too. I don't want the altezzas even, I want just regular euros, or chrome tails, because my car is black. I am not even familiar with your term ricer yet, but I'm guessing it is someone who has a all modified up body, but nothing to back it up. Well, I can back it up, and my car looks good. The body is stock right now, but I have a body kit on the way, and I am wanting the tail lights, and a few other things too though. Well, I am sorry for creating such a fuss between everyone here, I didn't know it was all like that here. From now on, no more post about "ricing" or stuff like that then. Well, if anyone can still help me find the lights, i would appriciate it. Later.

I really don't think that they make Altezza lights for the 240sx.I never seen ones before.And just because you have a body kit in your 240sx that doesn't mean that you are a ricer.Soon I'll be putting a body kit in my 240sx and I'll bet my car would beat most of this sh*t talkers that don't like body kits.

Its not like that here bobby, most of the pepole here just have an intense hatred of altezzas and/or eruos and other things. We have also had a HUGE influx of, for lack of a better term, "honda boys" hoping to get in on the next cool trend before all their bretheren, so people are a litlte angry. I personally think the lights look terrible and I don't know anyone who makes them, so I can't help you out with that either. : ( If you want to invest in the money, skyline tails look especially nice, but its a custom job so it will be more expensive than euros. However, to each his own I suppose. : ) Enjoy your day!

They don't make euros, altezzas, other crappy products for the 95 (yet).

What "mods" do you have done to your engine/suspension? What kind of body kit did you order?

A ricer doesn't necessarily mean they have nothing to back it up, it just means that you're making your car look gaudy, and cheaper than its supposed to look. Craig Leiberman's R34 is probably fast as f*ck, but its still a rice-mobile.

I have a t4 turbo with a greddy blow off valve, direct port nitrous injection, full header back exhaust, cool air intake, underdrive pulleys, and have made computer modifications. I am waiting on my suspension that I have ordered to lower my car another 2 inches, plus I have to pick up my wheels and tires Friday, and I ordered my body kit yesterday. it is this one http://www.gravitydynamics.com....jpg. It is the only one I thought that didn't make it look too gaudy. I didnt want some big *** shogun kit or something, but that will look good with my intercooler sitting there. The euros I just thought would look good because my car is black, and i like the way they look on my friends rx7. I dont have any decals or anything else like that on it though to make it look trash or anything like that though. Thats about it though. Hopefully after i get my kit put on I can get some pics of it up, just so everyone can see that it doesn't look bad at all, and it really makes it a lot better. well, i dont guess you have to worry about someone out there giving 240s a bad name, because it doesn't look like I'm gonna find the lights, and I've looked everywhere. If I do though, they're gonna have to go on though, because to me they look good. By the way, can somebody give me some ideas o nwhat they did to re do the interior. I don't want it a bunch of different colors, just want to add a dash kit and some other things.

Thanks, but it has taken a lot of time, and you can imagine the money, but it was worth it. With help from a couple of friends, I think it's getting to where I want it. I didn't know anyhting about this kind of stuff about two months ago when I got the car. MY camaro, sure i had that thing funning low 9's, but that was a v8, and not I got this little 4 cyl, and I didnt know what to do. I mean I knew enough about motors, and what I needed to put on it to make it kast, but I didn't know the best ways to go about doing it, but I think I found something that really works. I haven't taken it to the track yet, but if this hurricane thing doesn't mess things up too bad I think I am this weekend. I'm just going to be hoping for the best.
