custom rear lamps

[Danny Kierans]

anyone know if there is anyone making custom rear lamps for the fto anymore.

[Muad_dib77]

None of the usual suspects carry any Danny, sorry.

[Myfeckin FTO]

Haven't ever seen a set I particularly like. I'd say just tint the (orange) indicator lense red.

[Danny Kierans]

iv seen them on cars in england,and if i remember right there was a gay in england doing body kits who was on this site,doing like his own bonnets and rear light and more.im sure of it. cant find using quick search before someone says.

and just in case were do u pick up this red tint?

I think you're right, I seem to remember someone in the UK being on here before that made his own kits. Dont know if he was gay though............

[Sebastian]

there are ( were ) 2 cars in the club with carbon rear lights AFAIK
Aidan's car and Ftolam13's car.

I think Aidan had up his lights for sale on ebay before he sold his GPX .

This car still has them on

There's a GUY in the UK doing an Aston look project.
He modified his own lights, it might me worth dropping him a line... you never know.

Nice! Would prefer without yellow centre strip, also would like to see it switched on, but still nice!!

That picture with the yellow strip was taken while he was still working on it.
This is the finished article.


Agreed though, it'd be nice to see them switched on.

[Danny Kierans]

yes very tasty work with the paint.yellow gone would be best and wonder how long the paint would hold up.u would almost have to laquer the whole lamp to stop pealing.but its a real option as there is not much out their.

[Dragonheart]

Its actually quite nice, and definately unique. Much better than a lot of other options I've seen out there.

[Myfeckin FTO]

Agree they're nice but hardly unique - its an Aston Martin copy of their rear lenses. You need to thread carefully when it comes to trying to make your car look like something its not.

Does look like top quality work though and the FTO does already have a mini AM look to it.

Theres kits like this for the Zed too but I'd never go there -

[Dragonheart]

Well when I mean unique I mean on an FTO, I knew they were a copy of the Aston lights. They are extremely well done though.

That kit does not suit the Zed at all! Am I seeing an Aston badge on the front of it too??

Ah ya - I knew you'd see the AM connection MJ - just pointing it out to a wider audience.

Yep - thats an AM badge on a Zed. WFT like! - its a Jap sports car - making it look like an AM is almost as bad as those MR2/Ferrari wannabe's.

[Danny Kierans]

i agree the zed can look alot better then trying to make it look like an am.

[ultrakupra]

What about the Kaze covers?

First one will make the F look like a supra wannabe though lol

[Sebastian]

that kaze cover doesn't do nothing for me ...

I still think original is better ( tint the signal light and you'll be okay ! )

[ultrakupra]

Covers are not for me either,and that covers doesnt fit the car perfectly,the few ones i saw installed always had like a space between the cover and the body in some spots.
Just wanted to offer options hehe
For me i was thinking about tinting them black,but here in Japan is illegal,so..... if you people can i think that looks badass

not sure type 2 might look ok on one.. what site is selling them?

[Dragonheart]

Not for me either, dont like those fake add on things.

[ultrakupra]

Danny i dont know,maybe here

Bytheway you can see how that second model cover looks when installed in that photo,absolutely not for me
