I'm tempted to remove all the red reflectors in the tailight assembly and switch the bulbs to red LED. In my imagination, it should look similar to the Lexus RX330 tail. It'll also match my front headlight (amber reflector removed - thanks to Evodave)

Cody- your car looks sick!! I'm really liking the wingless look. I'm going to do the tails next weekend, and then the headlights the weekend after that. In my previous experiences the taisl were always easier becuase for the headlights- you have to take the bumper off. Is this the case for the evo as well? Did you stick them in the oven to loosen the apoxy?

YOu have to take the bumper off but the heads are still easier. You have to dremel the tails open. Use a heat gun or a hair dryer for the heads. And thanks for the props!

I used to be all about JDM- but then I realized "who cares" lol Whatever makes more power, and looks better is what I'll go with. I don't really care for the red look of the JDM tails, and I definately am not a fan of the chromed stock look- The blacked out housing has won me over.

Honesty, if you arent trying to spend $400 for a new set of taillights, id get evo dave to hook you up. Get the headlights done while you're at it. Looks MEAN.
