all lights work properly..red brake lights, yellow turn signal, and white reverse. It is painted with high quality air brush paint with clear coat. u gotta see the craftmanship.

what type of paint? i wanna black or red mine out

Thats FYAAA!

i want my joints all red or maybe like 3/4 red. how much how much.

i don't know what paint Gary is using.. all i know is that he mixed his own color and used an industrial air brush sprayer to overlay the colors..then clear coat it so everything looks factory. u won't believe all even and smooth the paint is on the tail lights.

as for pricing... i have no idea. I know the stock lens cost close to $300 at the dealer. so...if u do a trade with the stock for the color ones...Gary will just charge you for the paint and labor ...then it'll be much affordable. If u're really interested...PM me. i'm thinking of using mine for the shows...

Damn those look sweet... :D

just curious, can you use stained glass paint? it's transparent and is a little bolder than airbrush paint... think it's stronger too.

are they legal?

are they legal?

That indeed is the question, I am actually waiting to be pulled over for the stockers as I was pulled over a few times in my old accord running clear tails that look just like the xB stockers.


Can't wait to hear 'Are those a factory installed option Sir?' and be like 'umm YEAH actually they are!' :lol:

i am not sure if stained glass paint will work cleanly...i'm no expert...gotta ask the Man at Nish Designs.

as for legality...ne thing modified is pretty much illegal...ur front window tint, modified exhaust, etc... but just to let u know... i took legality into consideration when Nish painted my tail lights....so i had him paint thinner than desired. I drove around a week already with the blue lights....on freeways and local streets...i had couple of cruisers pull up right behind me...but they didn't bother to say ne thing.

If u look carefully...u can see the red inner housing for the brake lights and even the reflector shines. But if anyone decide to overlay red ...it should be pretty much safe. Mine is a limited color...that u'll prob see at shows only...rather than on the road.

found this little tutorial online, uses stained glass paint on a crx's taillights and doesn't look bad...

just curious about the front sidemarkers... how do you remove them if you were to paint them?

i smoked my tails for 5 bucks and 45 mins of labor (15 mins to get lights in/out and 1/2 hour drying time under some flood lamps)

what type of paint? i just popped my sidemarkers off and screwed around with them using glossy black paint then rubbing it down with some paint thinner... works, but uggggly when the blinkers are on, you can see little speckles even though the paint is perfectly flat to the touch. just screwing around testing it. paint thinner will wipe that sucker clean off.

got it from a hobby shop. window tint, comes in a small can

awesome thanks... guess i'ma head down to hobbycity and get some... messing with vinyl now... lol, bored as hell

I wanted to paint my sidemarkers too.

same way as tails

I saw Jatt's tails on Friday night and they looked really nice on his Camo. Good work!!

the project that crx did might work for a little while, but it will wear away and dull after time. it seems like the nish ones will last a lot longer, but only time will tell with the way he is doing it.

IMO, looks crappy, maybe it looks better in person, but it looks like GHETTO SPRAY PAINT MOD from here :?

Wes..

Not even close to a spray can...Nish uses quality automotive paint that wont fade or chip. A lot of people talk about using model paint, etc. etc.. All those will fade in time because of the sun. Not automotive paint. Nish uses a 2 step process that consist of the candy and then clear.

By no means does it look crappy or GHETTO!

I have not seen them in person, but I am sure it is nice since its by Gary
As for been legal or not, I think it is illegal (Atleast in CA)

I have approached couple law offices about tinted lights and removing bumper markers. In CA you will need to have 2 reflector in the back light or atleast on back bumper. Factory clear lights will still reflects because there are reflectors inside the lights. by looking at those night time pictures, I can't really tell if the reflector still work. If they are no good anymore, then it is illegal.

One trick to solve that problem is to buy those stick on reflectors and pur like bottom of the bumper or something.

If you must ask why we need rear reflectors... Well, I almost hit a stupid honda civis with those stupid cheap altezza lights and no reflector at night. That stupid dude's car is park right next to a street in the middle of night and there is no street light. I can see all the cars with the reflector park on the street but not that stupid honda. (Not to mention I have the good silver star and 2-4inches fog lights on)

I was just saying that in the pics, it looks ghetto. looks like someone got a little crazy with the color controls on photoshop :wink: but i'm sure if NISH is doing them, they are good quality. i haven't seen anything of his that wasn't :wink:

HHHHHHMMMM GHETTO HUH???.... :evil:

As some of you have read some of my post on these forums, I have always taken a positive and very moderate replys on the subjects that are posted here, giving props and giving credit where credit is due. But for some reason this"FOOL" always has something negative to say whenever an SE member post something to share with everyone. Just wanna know, What the hell is your problem ??

lol... i think it looks clean, not into the blue, kinda too light to match the car, but it looks clean. the orange looks hella nice.

whoa, everyone can have an opinion. I gotta give Gary props. I saw the tails at Magnaflow and again last night. they look very nice.

Randy, I respect peoples opinions, positive or negative. Especially yours man, but this guy seems to always have a negative reply w/ every SE related post, and to tell u the truth I've been pretty quite about it, but now I'm kinda sick of it. Maybe he just might get my opinion at the next Scion owners meet.

yo, i respect your opinion too bro, but threats are just wack. and this is not the place for it.

I don't like them , but that's my opinion I guess :roll:

True that man, my bad....bro.

No problem bro. I never liked the painted taillight look much. But I know alot of people that will like them and that's all that counts :D .

opinion is one thing...assumption is another.

Tim...the paint is light enough that the reflectors still work. And the picture don't do justice to the craftmanship of the paint job and it's color... I might have gone abit darker...but i wanted something light enough and different to stand out

i think they look professionally done...
me too, im not into the blue, maybe red/clear will be good

...Thanks for your opinion Munch. seriously

Thanks Munch, Pls. keep us all udated on the activities in the EC. Peace.

yes... i strongly recommend red-out paint if u're gonna use the tail lights for daily driving.

mine will be used for shows...cuz i already have TYC tail lights for daily driving.

as for comments

i respect opinions...but i don't respect negative profiling remarks made by scionracerxb. i am tired of it too. first u bag on SE website..now u bag on my tail lights. wat is ur problem?

I have yet to see Alex's lights in person and I would have to say that those should be only for shows. A lot of people probably wouldn't like em if you drove on the street all the time because there are too many kids doing crappy jobs on their cars and taking the cheap route of model spray paint and giving good people like Gary a bad name. I would still love to see them though in person because if they are the exact same quality as Gary's orange, then pictures ARE NOT doing them any justice.

I was lucky enough to meet up with Gary last night and those tails look like nothing I have ever seen on a scion before. There wasn't one problem that I found unlike the hack job I got on my body kit from some local shop. From now on, Gary is duin all my work.

I think the ones on the crx on that link look bad, but yours look tight... I really dig the candy one, blue seems like a too much attention from the po- po...

yeah..it's an attention grabber Blue. That's why i plan on using it only at shows...i have TYC tail lights for everyday driving.

The point is...xB is all about individuality and expression... i could have painted mine red like most ...but i wanted to experiment with something different.

And the paint job is second to none... it's so clean that u'll think it came painted from the factory.

the orange on gary's car looks really dope.. but ahh dunno bout the blue that much, looks kinda weird on the car..

Thanks Munch, Pls. keep us all udated on the activities in the EC. Peace.
No doubt, I will. Scions are starting to pop up all over the EC now :D

I don't like them , but that's my opinion I guess :roll:

everyone has their opinion. And I HAVE NEVER SAID ANYTHING NEGATIVE ABOUT YOUR CLUB OR ANYONE IN IT. i explained myself in the above post, but i guess you didn't read it. I said that from the pictures it looked bad. maybe if someone would chill on the photoshop effects, and post a real clear picture, then we could se how they really look.

Hey man, your opinion is your opnion, it's not what's being said, but the verbage being used when saying it!! it's more of a put down than an opnion!! No worries, you can tell me all about your opinion in person real soon.

And yes, I've been reading your crap from day 1, but have never said a thing about it. But I think now is the right time.

don't take this as a threat, it's reality!!!!

yeah the blue are hella OG, but I'm paranoid when it comes to driving with anything that they might consider pulling over, but watch your gonna win some more shows with that one...
