Confession! APC tails

[recognition]

I admit it, i have apc retro 3d tails on my ride, but i love em! they're sprayed black to match the car and blend in well.
i know the majority of you guys don't like them but as i live in the UK everybody over here loves them!
and compared to some of the riced out novas and saxo's :rolleyes: they look quite classy:D
i'll try to post some pics soon and some of the boy racers in the UK:D

I would actually like to see TASTEFUL altezzas for our car done in BLACK CHROME.

I know, I'm usually one of the first ones to trash altezzas, but for some reason, I think black chrome ones would look okay...:angel:

[CleanBlackSi02]

I'm sorry...the apc marketing took you in. Post pics so we can see just how bad they got ya. :p

[Civicvtec1ps]

apc tailihgts looks like shiet!!
idk i dont like them. stock ones looks good,
i still want to see your painted taillights:D

[BarracksSi]

I don't think they look that bad when they're painted to match, really.

I'm planning on CTR lights myself, though. I miss having amber turn signals (but paying over 200 bucks is kinda silly for that).

sorry bout the low quality, took this pic with my phone...


Don't worry thou!
This is my first and LAST apc purchase!;)

[Makross]

eh..

[BSEVEER]

I agree with BarracksSi, when painted to match the car they kinda borderline on ok:angel:

[chubbychu]

the thing about these taillights isnt that they are altezzas but because they stick out 5 feet from the sides....

[IceD out N CALI]

yeah i dont dig those lights, because not only are they ugly altezzas but they stick out from the sides. they look like clown lights

[02TafWhtSi]

If they were covered in clear glass or plastic it would look much cleaner in my opinion - and then you could even smoke the glass! :p

if they were covered w/ duct tape it would look better.

Recognition, do you like your lights? That's what matters here. I think you did a good job with your lights. They are different, but I don't think they look that bad. Try to get a better picture of the car so we can have a better idea of what they look like.

I love them! I've only seen one Type-r with these tails in the UK and thats it.

I like to stand out from the crowd,

Its better to cause a reaction, then no reaction at all :D

I'll try to get some better pics soon!...;)

ok i wont say anything mean, but u prob know what i'm thinkin:o

[recognition]

yea i think I can guess!:D

[BSEVEER]

Ok, from that rear view I'm not really liking it too much. From some angles they look ok. Like others have said, if you like it, that's what matters.:)

looks like my pug.

[civic hatch boi]

if they didn't stick too far out, they'd be decent. it makes the car look like a smaller lexus rx?

[SmoothOperator]

Looks like somebody smeared poop on your rear lights.

[civic hatch boi]

wow, i jus tnoticed your muffler.. you should really get a US Si muffler, it'd look much better than that limp weenie of a muffler you have.

[SmoothOperator]

USDM muffler's the same as the UK's type R muffler.

[skooba]

damn that does look like a lexus RX.... and yeah you should get a new muffler, that one looks out of place.

not really digging the 3d effects but you did a nice job on the painting

lol!

yea I know it looks shit!:(

but I've only got the 1.6 Vtec, unlike you guys:(

credit for the paint goes to my mate John, did it in a couple of hours for only $20 (he works in a body workshop):D

[myeverlovinsir]

Wait a minute.... ok you did not get the type-R, you live in the
UK, and got a 1.6l V-tecknical? what? and put APC on it. Not getting
the rational here. Yeah, nice ride!:eek:

Well, Im only 23,
saved all year and got a loan,
Insurance for the Type-r was

[Halfloaf]

I'd like to back recognition on this issue in UK Type-R is group 18 insurance where 1.6VTEC is group 6 only civic in between is Type-S (160bhp K20) and thats a 5 door.
I can very probably add a turbo and still pay less than Type-R.

ps

[arbo651]

i have em on my ride as long as i dont put an APC sticker on my car i think ill be ok.. so im with ya on the lights as long as they are painted to match.. haha

[Hatchtastic]

They make some altezza tails that i like better. not a fan of the 3d but there not bad in my opinion.
