WTF????????????????? For once in the forum's history, RICOCHET loves something modified!!!???
What? did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?

But I am not surprised for your comment on the taillights, well this is your unique personnality . Well I find them OK but they would be better if they were clearer and not diffused

don't take the flaming too seriously, If you try something new around here, it's to be expected. This isn't exactly the most "mod friendly" forum in the world. But people around here sure do know their **** when It comes to the SVX, you won't find a better resource.

If you actually look at the close up of the tail light, you can see its all hot glued and siliconed around the edges. From what I gather from the guide...he painted them silver? What the heck is "Lighting material" a refrence to? Seems like a decent idea but that guy did it really, really half assed

Well you can do like I did with the clear lenses. You can get instead of those diffusers, some half transparent material, glue the edges and cover them with with a thin vynil ribbon

If you can find some plexiglass or polycarbonate sheet that is thin enough and still be flexable you could use it instead. The problem with that office grade light diffuser, it is brittle as hell. one piece of hail, and that kid will have to do it all over again . Polycarbonate is strong, but to have it flexable enought to make the body turn it needs to be thin, again probmle of strength. if we wanted clear light, we would need them to be custom manufactured out of th same material used in the actuall light plastic. its is pre-shaped and thick, so it is strong.

I think smallcar has the ability to pull such a thing, since it has experience with such material...
