    taillight options

    I have the stock '93 tallights (the ones with the grooves and big rounded reflectors\license plate lights), and i really dislike them...

    what kinds of custom tails does everybody have?
    i want something flatter and less... red...

    You could always look for the 90-91 style.

      As Charles already suggested you might want to look into the 90-91 tailights. They are flatter, but have the same amount of redness Here's a pic of what they look like:

      while you're out there, you might as well adjust your air/fuel ratio by smell... and your tire pressure by ride height

        Maybe lights like this may strike your fancy.

                rice? bro, this thing will take uncle ben's 5 minute rice and burn it into 12.7 seconds FLAT! it's vynl, woud come off if he chose to, but on his particular car, looks AWESOME. personally, i only think you could do that on adam's car and get away with it. he's got one of the fastest protege's on this club. now say if he had a twin stripe going down the center, might look a bit . but at anyrate, my personal opinion seeing and being in the car, it's a wonderful car, and the stripe only adds to it. the tail lights may be a bit dark, but hey, at least they're still legal. ricey?? by no means, that thing is a ****in BEAST!
                peace
                p.s. also have to give proper respect to wil's festiva, that things a beast as well

                  I'll admit, the stripe is a lil rice, but I chose the offset stripe instead of the dual stripes down the center cuz that's what the European touring cars/rally cars use and they are set up as a well balanced car that can corner well. My car used to be set up very well before my GTR motor. Now the car is just sick. I'm still tryin to get used to it. I've had the motor for a little over a month now and I'm still tuning and working out bugs. And, I'm not complainin cuz everyone's got their opinion. I realize that not everyone is going to like everything I did to my car so it's all good.

                  As far as my tailights, I will be repainting them soon cuz I never clearcoated them originally, so after almost 2 years I will be redoing them. I'll see if I can do some kind of a how-to on them.

                      KiddX: Well, what kinda plans do you have for your Protege?
                      If you look at my car, most of the stuff is simple things here and there.

                        i just want something that i can be proud of. id like a good suspension setup so as to handle well. im thinking struts and sways from corksport. once i sell the eclipse i have now (what a slow POS) im going down to a friends shop and having 2" catback made, and a high flow cat. later on i want to put on the genie headers (they seem alot better then pacesetter) then ill build up the engine. my uncle was a mazda mech for about 25 years so he knows my car in and out (swapped my engine in 5 hours). so ill have him help me with all the engine stuff. my goal is a 14 second n/a, with good track capabilitys. if i cared about looks id keep the eclipse, i care about speed.

                        also i really want taillights like yours, ive seen it on a few of our cars and i like it alot.

                              Umm yeah... what he said

                              Adam your wheels are putting what to the ground? 231hp? or was it 213? Look Adam's car could be bright neon orange and have a F&F paint job. It is a GTR!! Rice is looking fast but not being fast.
                              When you turn your car on... does it return the favor?
