[Orange Peel]

Turned out very nice mate.. Not keen on the lexus lights TBH but each to their own :)

[Dan Gliballs]

Yep, lots of good work gone into that car, lovely clean standard lines :)

As above though, don't like Lexus lights (unless they're on a Lexus), and that 'ambulance' sticker in the back window just HAS to go.

[Belmont turbo]

[Heathercdi]

a lot of people don't like lexus lights on any other car than a lexus, mainly due to them being related to chaviness and not actually suiting other cars because they look out of place :eek:

I personally don't like them either, but if you do then fair play its your car :)

p.s. do you text a lot? :rolleyes: :p

[Tom]

Thats a credit to you mate, you`ve done a lot of hard graft there, well done :cool:

Always nice to see somebody doin all the work themselves for a change :)

If you need any advice on doing the turbo conversion, give me a shout ;)

[Tony K]

Am liking the lexus on there m8. If you had just done the lights they would have looked out of place. They match the overall look of the car.

Or maybe it’s cause I’m a sucker for anything shiney (bloody magpie I am). lol

Good looking motor m8. :cool:

[astrasteve23]

i like that a lot! i love the gloss black on red, the wheels look brilliant, they really suit the car, i dont like the rear lights they dont really go with the black vinyl on the boot! you can get black ones in that lexus style cant you? they would look ok.

[BazW]

the problem with lexus lights is you see em on so many poverty spec cars like base model clio's and corsa's and its usually the only mod, its made them look cheesey even when they're on a lexus.

[at least its not a saxo]

its the only style they do um in but give it time jsut savin up on gettin it turbo'd any ideas on how long it will tyake 2 do cuz i need my car 4 work

[astrasteve23]

you can get smoked rear lights (not lexus style) and i have seen smoked lexus.

[at least its not a saxo]

sweet might see about getin the smoked 1's will be better i no type r civics have jsu clicked on 2 smoked lexus lights

[Tom]

Just saving up on getting it turbo'd, any ideas on how long it will take to do because I need my car for work

We took three days to do mine, starting on boxing day lol !

But that was with a ramp and access to every tool I needed, plus my wiring loom had already been made.
