Redfox340 Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 Some people use ceiling light lens and a heat gun to mold / make fit. - RedFox340 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ismellrealbad Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 um i honestly think clear tails on a GP looks like crap. The 88-96 tailights are the coolest looking tailights ive ever seen on any car EVER.................EVER I would never modify them. i cant describe how perfectly designed they are. words cannot describe. i like them even better than cars with the LED tailights or anything else. dont clear them! i think its looks ricey. i am not raggin at all im just laying down one of my very strong opinions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandprix104 Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 I agree with smellbad: WHY MESS WITH PERFECTION?! those are definately the best looking taillights on any car ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Burning Rom Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 I also agree. I especially like the non-checkered tails on my 90 LE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazmatic Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 is it possable to clear tails in my regal Edit: sorry for jumping the post but its related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burning Rom Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 If you really want to clear your tail lights, there is a member of the WI club that did his own. They don't look too bad....but I still wouldn't clear mine. You can kinda see a pic of his tail in his sig: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandPrix34 Posted May 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 well lets say i do make them clear tails...how hard would it be to return them to stock form? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldsmoBeast Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 i dunno about you, but if i were to clear my tails, i would remove the original ones and keep them.....that's the safest bet. then i'd get identical ones from a J/Y (there's always at least one sedan a lot like mine when i'm there) and i'd clear the j/y ones out.....that way i still have original equipment to return it to EXACTLY the way it was. I'm a lil anile that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a lil anile that way. I'm like that too... before I color match my front light bezels and the back-up assembly, I found "replacements" from a junkyard first. I could back the originals if the finished products didn't turn out good or look bad. It's something good to consider... - RedFox340 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismellrealbad Posted May 24, 2003 Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 yup the spare set of tails is the best idea. they are always on ebay. if not a j/y prolly will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heza Posted May 24, 2003 Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 how about this idea...YOU DON'T NEED CEILING LIGHT PANEL!!! just open the lights up, remove the film, silicone it shut! ...oh wait, put new LEDs in to get the colors you wish to have. the only thing i've seen ceiling light paneling used for on GPs, is to create custom turn signal and reflector lenses for the bumpers.

You talking about this cuttlass I take it..... thats one set the guy has made, here is another set..... I don't know, I like the bottom ones, they look good being dark, and on a dark car, but I think the top one lookes kinda bad on the blue car, now on a white car, that is a different story. Either way I give the guy credit for being able to make those and everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
