Maxi rear lights and exhaust

[case]

Hiya,

Just about to put my car back on the road but hate the lexus lights ive got on at the minute. They contrast too much with the black car i think, i want something bit more subtle.

Below is a pic of the rear of my car, sorry its so poor but its the only one ive got at the minute. And also some lights that ve been looking at. Are there any other avaliable and which does everyone think will look best?

http://http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=10410&item=4542576087&rd=1Standard style

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=23010&item=7966952225&rd=1Some standard tinted ones

Also thought about dark lexus but cant find any.

Also what style of exhaust does everyone think will suit it? I want something to fill the gap but also not to OTT. Wanted one long backbox turned sideways with an outlet either end (if that makes sense) to fill the gap but cant find one.

All comments welcome, and i know it looks naff like this thats why its needs to be changed.

Ph2s or black lexus lights......

 

[case]

Really dont know which to go for now. Ill just look for a set of both and see which looks best in real life.

Does nobody like the tinted ones? Only thing is i dont know how legal they are.

Also what does everyone think to a 6" round exhaust with a removable silencer. Bit like the one k-tec do?

thanks for al the replys.

6"!

Thats just too big for a clio in my opinion!

Leave that kinda size to the jap cars......

Because the ph2s are smoked and look more complete than the ph1s

The ph1s look very blocky imo and you can see each bulb section etc.

Ph1s Rock!!!!.......but the ph2s just look so right.

The stealth/shock factor of the 2.0 is the best bit

 

[Remedi]

I like tinted lights but the standard Ph2s would break up the rear visually.

I reckon a 3"1/2 tailpipe would look good cut slightly into the bumper, slash cut or rolled in.

 

[The Big Yin]

Dont usually say this but i think the black lexus will suit the car the best

Ive got Ph1 and Ph2 rear lights had both on my car. IMO the PH1s look better, a bit old skool, but its up to you.

 

[Ali]

yeh ph2s mate...i get away with black lexus lights on mine but the shape and design of them is different.

 

[case]

thanks for all the replys. Just bought some ph2s for £15 so ill see what they look like first and then keep an eye open for some black lexus ones goin cheap. Might always be able to nick one of somebody for 5 mins at a CS meet to see which looks better anyway.

Still dont know what to do about the exhaust though, been looking at twin motorbike cans today but not sure.

get the lexus lights u have got tinted by a bodyshop.. will look amazing when ur brake lights are lit up!!

 

[case]

^^^

I did think about that but the bodyshop i use have never done lights before and they are worried about how legal it is. My mates said to just try streching an old stocking over the lights just to get the idea of what they will be like tinted so might do that.
