Tail light options
 
What different tail light brands and styles are out there. pics please.

macdaddyslomo June-23rd-2004 11:53 AM

APC and Toucan....check www.nopionline.com for styles...and start using the damn search function...these are some lazy posts

redcivic June-23rd-2004 12:11 PM

Whatever ricer boy. Like old posts will answer all my questions. if you don't like reading redundant posts then don't read them.

03ESPro June-23rd-2004 04:50 PM

You might want to watch how you talk to the moderators of this board..... also, it's not about reading redundant posts, its about wasting bandwith. Contrary to what many people think, it's not free to run these forums.....

redcivic June-23rd-2004 04:58 PM

Whatever, am I gonna get a whoopin' or something? Ya'll need to lighten up. I know it's not free, but the more traffic, the more advertisers which equals more money to run the board. Chill..........

macdaddyslomo June-23rd-2004 06:33 PM

No you wont get a "whoopin"...however the search feature is there for a reason...and if name calling persists you DO run the risk of getting banned...and these "old posts" will answer your question...there has been a post announcing the introduction of practically every style of tail light out there....apparently you arent aware of the effort required for someone to go out and find all the info you want and post pics on here...I gave you a link to the info you requested....And more traffic does not equal more advertising necessarily....an advertiser doesnt want to pay money to advertise on a board that is full of nothing but bs off topic posts..that is why we keep it to a minimum here...and like 03ESPro said...bandwidth costs money and redundant posts cost bandwidth.....If you want to continue being a member of this board, please keep the anti-social behavior to a minimum...consider this your first warning

redcivic June-24th-2004 09:24 AM

Whatever.

Roddimus Prime June-24th-2004 10:22 AM

can someone/anyone show me an ADVERTISEMENT on this forum......

redcivic, what everyone is trying to say nicely is that you're not blending in well. Take an extra 30 seconds to look to see if your question has already been answered. Older members like Mac and I (and several hundred others) just get tired of answering the same questions over and over again. Bandwidth isnt free and we have NO advertising money coming in. Also, this forum is different from the others out there be cause we try to be more civilized and don't put up with all of the B.S. the other forums do. I like to think of this forum as the "adult table". This is where the big boys talk. If you're looking to just start random posts and chat and be juvenile yo'd probably fit in better at the kiddie table.

redcivic June-24th-2004 11:08 AM

Here we go. First of all, I realize you probably feel some loyalty to certain memebrs on this board and that is cool but to say big boy talk goes on on this board is a laugh. If it's one thing I've noticed on this board it is the lack of experienced gear heads on this sight. I don't mean to be childish or insult anyone but at the same time, I grow tired of moderators and tired members that bark orders rather than just letting people gather information anyway they like. I have been a member of www.honda-acura.net since 1999 and I have seen the same crap go on over and over. It never ends, you just have to set the tone for your own site. I'm not trying to start a flame war or make enemies but if I don't agree then I don't agree, don't take it personal. If someone posts a question that's already been answered then don't reply. So what if I did a search and did'nt liek the results? Every post on this board has probably been asked before so I don't see your point. As far as the name calling goes, well i have no respect for someone moderating a board focused on performance that has no performance what so ever on the car this board represents. Sorry if I offended anyone. Hell I get less shit asking questions about my Protege on my Honda board. The purpose of this board is to offer, share, and gather information. No offense to the members that I respect as enthusiasts (you know who you are). Like I said before, chill......

Ok then, go ask them about taillight options. I don't think you get it though.....you have to fit in with US....we don't have to accomodate you. If you want to be here then you need to play by OUR rules. As a former honda owner I also have spent time on the honda forums and found them to be an utter waste of space and time. This forum is 10 X's more infomrative and friendly. If it's too much to ask of you to do your own searches then you should start asking the honda kiddies for advice.

macdaddyslomo June-24th-2004 11:34 AM

First of all, in my defense, I do have performance parts on my car...try Racing Beat Springs, MP5 Strut Tower Bar,CAI,Custom Cat-back Exhaust,J-spec CAMS(as far as I know I am the first 1.6er to have them).....So to come on here asking about tail lights and call me a "ricer" is rediculous...I like my Tail's, but everyone knows they're a ricer mod....Bottom line is change your attitude, quickly...If you think your attitude can remain the same and it will just be tolerated you are mistaken

eggynatey June-24th-2004 11:47 AM

APC makes some all red ones that look pretty nice. It's really hard for me to say anything good about APC, but they make ONE set of tails for the 3rd gen Protege that I kinda like. :)

I can't find a pic, but they are 90% red.

redcivic June-24th-2004 11:55 AM

Your right, I apologize. Thanks for the info on the tails, I'll check out the APC site. I too don't like APC much but I just don't like teh factory tails so i just want something better looking to go with the body kit, rims, etc. I plan to make an axample of my pro and I just want to get the looks department satisfied before I rip into the engine.

gotaphatprotege June-24th-2004 12:08 PM

did you even read this thread? there is a link in the 2nd post :rolleyes:

03ESPro June-24th-2004 12:13 PM

You really need to start actually reading the posts, as the first reply to this one listed a website with taillights available. There's also a search button at the top of the page, that will help narrow down the posts to read.

redcivic June-24th-2004 12:17 PM

Check out www.modacar.com they have these:

http://www.modacar.com/Merchant2/tai..._taillamps.jpg

I personally don't like them because they are a little flashy but you may like them.


I also like these but can't find them on the apc site

Anarchistchiken June-24th-2004 12:32 PM

What people dont realize is that when people's heads turn to look at your altezza's, more than half the time they're laughing at you, not admiring you.

gotaphatprotege June-24th-2004 12:35 PM

i meant the flashy look all around including body kit exhaust sound just over all apeal

gotaphatprotege June-24th-2004 12:42 PM

hey for everybody if your instrested in some site info on discount parts for all car just email me with your info and ill email you a page i got off ebay for wholesale on all sorts of car stuff from audio to turbos.euros and more

Roddimus Prime June-24th-2004 01:20 PM

hey "gotaphat"....try to cut down on the amount of one-liner posts... fit all of your points into one post and wait for some kind of reply! Also, make sure to start posting in the correct sections.

We try to keep all of the topics together so that way people like yourself go looking for audio or whatever and it's in the audio section. It helps us keep the place clean

macdaddyslomo June-24th-2004 01:21 PM

Much better!!!...thank you VERY much...It's hard to read in text but I am not being sarcastic, but very sincere....I believe the mostly red ones are Toucan's not APC's...May also want to try www.corksport.com they are a little pricey, but I beleive they have those lights are on there

gotaphatprotege June-24th-2004 02:35 PM

not afended ill remeber that next time still learnin ya know

Rio Grande June-24th-2004 02:43 PM

Try this link: http://matrixracing.com/BISub233Cat233ParPag2.htm

I think they are the cheapest out there IMO.

redcivic June-24th-2004 03:03 PM

Will the factory bulbs work with these?

http://matrixracing.com/images/items...MZPR5ALTGM.jpg

Rio Grande June-24th-2004 03:53 PM

That's exactly what I want. You would have to count how many bulbs you have stock and the take a guess at how many the new one will have. I beleive I read some where that most of them(altezza lights in general) come with the same amount as factory.

Avalerion June-24th-2004 04:25 PM

My Protege
 
Here's a picture of mine with different lights.
http://www.avalerion.com/misc/rear.jpg

Also, the tail covers are custom made to fit the factory bulbs if they are good quality. My tail lights have a spot for every factory bulb.

eBay rides again!

redcivic June-24th-2004 04:34 PM

Those look okay but I think I'd like to see what the carbon fiber ones look like. Does anyone have any pics? I installed some like thos on my friend's wifes accord and the amount of bulbe were the same but some of the locations swapped.

I have the 3rd choice, or black ones, on my black MSP. I must say I ordered them on Ebay for $60.00 and figured if I didn't like them I could find a punk at the locale pool hall to buy them. They look nice, well nice enough for me to keep them. Everyone in my Mazda club says they actually like them.

eggynatey June-25th-2004 02:41 AM

nate0123 has the tails I was talking about. :)

gotaphatpro: I boughtt the JIC exhaust used from a friend but he got it from Rishie at Automotive RnD. I'm not sure if they have their new website running yet, but Rishie's username is ARD MP5. He's a really cool, knowledgeable guy who's happy to answer any questions.

He's also got the f-ing sickest P5 I've ever seen!

Wanna see a pic of it? http://mindscraps.com/s/contrib/ruinkai/peepwallA.gif

if you were to browse the other forums you'd realize that my language and osts are VERY mundane compared to the garbage that is spewed on the other boards.

isawyou June-25th-2004 02:11 PM

Roddimus, I love it, I think it's funny. Definitely creative and far, far, far less offensive than a lot of the stuff on various forums. I just got a chuckle when I read it, and was pointing it out.

Roddimus Prime June-25th-2004 02:35 PM

yeah, I have that t-shirt....gift from my very understanding wife. She's addicted to shoes....me? boobs.

Phantom Cruiser June-25th-2004 04:04 PM

accch.

boobs are overrated IMO.
