02-03

04-05 lol

[ep3beginner]

any one want to trade some 04-05 for some 02 03 tail lights

[SiN05]

Voted 02-03's but i gots 02-03 CTR's i think they are the best. I got 04-05's floating around if someone wants them.

[classiccelica]

how much for the 04-05 tails?

[DRP967]

I like the 04-05 sprayed with Vans taillight paint, it looks more "vibrant" than the darker red color of the 02-03. Stock 04-05 tails just look altezza ish.
Heres are some pictures of my 2005 Civic Si with redded out tails

[kbzon01]

02-03 tails, but I am biased since my EP is a 02...

[magmagik 1]

I have 02-03, but always wanted 04-05. Just like the way they look for some reason.

Vote 02-03, like my 03 but that 04-05 sprayed looks good also.
Hate that Altezza look.

02-03 ftw

[Rayme]

I'm sure the whole "anti altezza" campaign over the years is sub-emotionaly pushing most people to like the 04-05 over the previous one.

I like the 04-05 over the earlier ones, they just look more modern...frosted plastic is so... 60's..

02-03 ftw

red out 04s look pimp! i got an 2002 and i like them. CTR ones are nice...but the difference is so minute....not sure if its worth the hassle.

what did you use for the reverse when you spryed the lights?

[freelunch]

Probably masking tape?

[DRP967]

My friend did the masking job using blue painters tape.

[ep3sioftx]

I have some 04-05 tail lamps for sale i just took them off my 04 and put on some 02 on and looks so much better.

My friend did the masking job using blue painters tape.

does he have a special technique to get a perfect circle and did you guys repaint the part that was already red

[DRP967]

He put tracing paper on the reverse circle and traced it/made a template using the painters tape. And yes i repainted the red part. I used two cans of Vans red taillight spray.
