i attached a few pics of our work in case any more of you guys are coming down this summer for custom stuff. i know this isnt directly related to cl's but i know everyone should enjoy this.

the cavalier is getting a tail light conversion, can you guess what lights these are?

the teg is going to be disgusting when it is done. enjoy!

that car is absolutly horrid! I dont understand (and probably never will) why people have pos cars and still put a lot of money into them when they could just be driving around a nice un-modded car for all the money they put into the pos's.

CLpower

I agree w/ you on why people fix up POS, but you haven't even seen the car completed, it's completely unfair to judge anything yet.


Shit if you would of seen my hot rod at that stage you would of thought I was building a bucket, but the final stage for those cars is pretty far to come.

CLpower

Ross, what kind of motor is goin in the teg?

rmstoico

b18a

maybe a head swap but im not sure yet. the a blocks are the best for top end, besides the 2.0 crv head.

are those tali light on the cav from a civic?, who would ever put money into a cav, what else does it have done, please tell me there is more and this isnt the first thing done to it

CLpower

huh?


you mean the crv block right



check and see if that bitch has a vtec head

CLpower

alot of people ask why you would fix up a CL. Everyone has their own ideas.

rmstoico

yeah, i mean block... non vtec btw.

the cav has z3 fenders, rk sport body kit, shaved antenna, some wing, lowered, doing more down the road. no they arent civic tails.

CLpower

Tell that kid to smartin up and put a vtec head on that block!




also, are they accord lights? Maybe teg

are those Integra Tails cut??

djz

i believe that those are s2000 tail lights.

klepto

Damn, that integra's r33 front bumper is like _ that high off the ground

truraysa

those tail lights are from a 94-up 4door integra

rmstoico

good call. didnt think anyone would get it. they are pretty rare (the 4 doors), at least around here.

rEmixnZZa

i like those tail lights...

and i think that 1st car needs some color coordination =) which i hope will happen...

IMO, i would never mold an aftermarket tail light to my car. Altezzas are a fad, and when something new comes out, your stuck with integra cutouts. On the other hand, there really are not too many good looking tail lights out there, i would say our car and the 350z have some of the hottest.

lyricologist

yea the 350z is definately one sexy piece of machine

rmstoico

first, their not going to be molded, they will come right out.

second, they are not altezza's, techinally altezza's are mirrored, these are carbon fiber, with 2 red lenses, similar looking to the r33 tail lights.

i dont like altezza's either, but i dont think they will be out of style for a long time, and when they are, they will still make some sort of aftermarket light that is similar that everyone will buy.

sup rmstoico.. seems your getting busy again.. by the way.. can you tell me/us what's the update with the wingswest guy your company is dealing with? you said that you were making a MILD KIT for the CL.. just wanna know if it's almost done or if WW approved it to mass produce.. thanks man..

ding069

By molded i was trying to convey propper fitment, what is a better term to use? I have always known and seen that style listed as "carbon fiber altezzas", but your the autobody guy, so i am sure u know best. Like you said, you dont like them either, but its not your car, and you do what the customer wants. True that the aftermarket will always make that teg light anyway, no matter what the fad is.

Cool Ross, if you are doing the projects- Im sure they will turn out well. Post some pics when they are done.

blackacura54

THATS A HOT MESS

rmstoico

hehe, no problem, just making a point. altezza's are used loosely, i know exactly what you mean. and its nice to see that someone understands its not my car, but a customers. later.
