S2000 tails
Can anyone point me to a page where I can order the S2000 tails? Are they a direct drop in, like altezzas, or is some cutting/modding neccessary? Lastly, what are all your opinions of installing a S2000 starter button?

If you want both then you can buy my sol. It's for sale. s2k tails, s2k starter button, s2k racing pedels, and oh, so much more.
The tail lights with the wiring harness that is needed ran me $750 back in 1999. Maybe you can get the lights/wiring harness for less now at like junkyards, but should still run about $600. Time and labor cost can affect the conversion, so it's hard to pin-point a price. Roughly between $1500-2000. Then figure in a paint job. Mine was about $2500. The s2k starter from the deal was only like $45, but without wiring. I didn't wire mine, so I don't know how to.
Selling my 95 VTEC del-Sol._Original owner. Chicago, Illinois Just under 75,000 miles. Stored in winter and not driven in rain if I can avoid it.__It hasn't been a daily driver since 1999. See mods list on links below.__When it was repainted in 2000 the back rubber seal was replaced as well as the rubber on the back pillars by the back window.__The timing belt was replaced at 65,000 miles.__New front splash guards and ACT Clutch in may 2001.__You will get the original window sticker and carcraft car cover. Between the original cost of the car, parts and labor over the years $37k invested.__Selling for $16,000 SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY

light ideas, ashtray/lighter mod for s2k starter?
$600-750 is pretty far past my current budget. Same goes for installation - if I went with those lights, I would shop around for a body kit and just get the kit cut before it was painted, etc.
But as it is, it's not feasible.
Which leaves two options - the dreaded altezza, which every Chevy truck driver and their uncle seem to have now, and custom tinting the stock lights - either black them out or paint them with the transparent red paint I hear about.
Anyone have any ideas or stories related to either?
Lastly... as for the s2k starter... The ideal place (to me) to install it is where the ashtray/lighter are. That ashtray is pretty useless to me (non-smoker) as I just keep receipts and whatnot in there now. Anyone know how to fabricate a piece that will drop right in? The wiring part I don't think would be too bad - the cigarette lighter will power the button and you'd probably need another wire to the starter ... just a guess. Anyone know for sure?

You might as well get the IGNITED starter button if you want to put it into the cigarette lighter. It's cylinder shape was designed for that and comes with wiring and instructions. The s2k starter button is more of a flush mount button instead of the cylinder design by ignitied and is more adaptable for a clean flush install on the dash.
This is my s2k button.
