Hello,

I have abit of a yellow and black theme going on with my car and am considering what smoked tail light would look like?

Does anyone have any info on products avaliable? dont really want to 'spray' them, would prefer if a proper smoked tail light was made for them (although i have searched with no luck?)...

any information would be helpful.

Heres some pics of my car to get an idea.

Cheers,

Anthony

^Cheers mate

I think it has the potential to look good... im just not sure on it?...

i know you can get tint plastic that you can stick to the lights, anyone used them before?

Don't do it.

a) It will look like ass

b) Skylines trademark are their awesome red round taillights, why would you want anything else back there?

+1

Plus smoked lights on a yellow banana will look ugs !

To answer your question, you will have to spray them - only indicators come pre-smoked, everything else has to be sprayed.

Thanks for the input guys

I do agree with this, i think making a substantial change to the rear tail lights could take away the classic 'skyline' look of the car... would look very different..

IMHO

Looks good in daytime

Looks crap at night

Worst of all, I'd be concerned about a night driver with impaired reflexes, hitting me up the backside.

.

I was more interested in finding an actual product (similar to the nismo smoked indicators, which in no way hinder the lights underneath), aswell i wouldnt want to dim the lights on the back for the same reason as you ha.

Stock tail lights over anything else on a GTR.

It's a trade mark in a sense.

Unless you want to lessen the chances of other drivers not seeing you brake lights...

I do not particularly like tinted / smoked tail lights.

Totally agree - stock tail lights on all Skylines are sexy as...and yes a trademark look for sure...smoked lights look arse - but altezza lights or whatever they're called - looks gay-arse!! :domokun:

Always thought this was classed as a DEFECT aswell?

Correct me if i'm wrong

Sure is mate you are correct. Smoked side indicators are too but less noticeable so people get away with them.

Thanks for the info and input guys.

Was just throwing the idea around and im pretty sure we have got it sorted.

I dont think its worth it as:

1. dont want to be defected

2. have not seen it done on the 34s where it actually looks really good. as in an actualy product that works, and doesnt dim the lights too much and is functional

3. looks good how it is, and changing it to smoked etc would be a risk that it would most likely look worse.

That's good!

Now if your Q had been,

"What body colour of an R34 GTR would best suit or contrast with dark taillights?"

...I would have said Black or Yellow.

And the worst?

I would have said M/Jade or Silica Breath

ha very true, i think red would also suit dark taillights, i do like the red and black combo aswell, i think on the yellow the dark tail lights stand out too much (just judging from the photo shop above), and the taillight design just doesnt suit them if they are dark imo, where as on other yellow cars it could probably work...

I can only imagine how bad a Jade 34R would look with dark taillights ha!

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it

      Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!

      Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.
