that would suck hard.
I think TYC is a company that makes aftermarket taillights.
I like the one that they make for 6th gen coupe hehehee

Wow. Those are real dark. I cleared the amber lense in my 5th Gen's tails and smoked it and used clear coat. Didn't smoke nearly as dark as those are, and the clear coat really helped them shine nice too.

anyway, i'm a little too perfectionist
so no worry about this.

JonHsiung painted his taillights like yours.
You can ask him about his experience doing the painting, might be useful.
Heheh. yeah he asked me beforehand.

I told you to use clearcoat, why didn't you use it?!! j/k. nice job man. looks good.

on their website, they also provide the results of the photometric testing that they use to get approval for the vehicle code(s) in case you get hassled by cops

A similar but different question...

I really like the s-types that are out for the 5th gens, but they don't have any for the 6th gen sedans. I was wondering if I could buy some regular altezzas and then paint them over with some transparent red paint...is that possible and where do I get that kind of paint? Thanks.

Well, my family lives out in Wilmette (2 mins from Old Orchard), but I work now so I live in Lincoln Park. I think I went to HIN last yr...not this yr tho. Didn't get into fixin up my car until just recently again. My roommate just got the 2001 blue prelude type sh so he's been getting me into the whole scene again.

I think I'll go buy some clear coat paint today~ hm...
