Just thought I'd share these with you 2nd gen TL guys. I thought this looked pretty damn badass. Not mine, it's some guy from japan.

Haha. I like how we try to make our cars look like Honda Inspires and they try to make their cars look like Acura TLs. Pretty badass LED tails though. You think they were custom made or a Japan based company sells them?

If im not mistaken thats a rear lip on the JDM rear bumper. The inspire bumper are shorter than the USDM ones. Either way, it looks pretty good.

I belive this guy made it himself. He had pics of the tailights opened up, and bunch of resisters, and different sized leds. I forgot to post them, I'll do it later today.

Look at the negative camber on the rear wheels. He must go through tires every 10,000km ... ridiculous!

(But the car looks hawt!)

Looks sweet. I love the blaze rear. I was so close to ordering one, but it's $600 + freight for just that rear peice.

LED lights look sweet too.

If I really wanted to, I could make one too. Would need to just get the pig tails that connect to the stock turn signal + brake light + reverse light. But god, it'd just take too damn long soldering all those freaking resisters end on end. And personally, I'd make the strip of the LED continue along the outside edges of the actual tail lamp, so the entire red area of the tail lamp lit up.

Nice LED conversion for sure. But I have an issue with the LED's he used. I was going to go with that kind of setup, but between the viewing angle on those 10mm's which suck donkey and the brightness value on them, makes me wonder how good they really are in bright sunlight beaming on them. Sure they look good in pics, but what about practicality? my
