03 to 01 Tails Conversion

My latest mod, switched to the 01 red tails on my 03 6speed. May keep it a while, I like the all red look, looks less like Subaru.
Also my Comptech drop is done. Do I need to re-align the wheels?
Now if I could just get rid of the rubber dickie on the roof and the spoiler and get new rims!

Yea, you still need an alignment.

Car looks good though. Looks like your slowly converting it back to an 02 CLS.
You selling the 03 tails?

Looks nice.

Yes, you'll need an alignment. Some people say you should wait a month or so for the springs to settle, others say this is not important with the Comptech springs as they don't really settle very much. I got my alignment at the same time as the install.

I think the 03s suit better only on some colors... I don't think they'd look too good on my Sundance Gold (PDG) CL-S. However, sharp car

Well I was actually going for the Neon look too! Just wanted to try out the all red tail look, which looks so good on the blacks. The back up lens is kinda pinkish on the 01s and is not near as bright as the 03. What is a good bright bulb for back ups?

I think the 03 tails look better, but if you like the 01's its all good. And forget the roadlamps, get some real foglights.

thanks people. I'm undecided, the 01 tails don't look like I hoped with the anthracite. The 01 back up lenses are pink? and much dimmer than the clearer 03s.
if I go back to the 03s I will tint the white out.
Well, till my next switchout.
