Project F lights

Post by xj265 »

I managed to get hold of Kid_dynamite's pair of lights although they were missing the drivers side lense :?

After getting in contact with non other than nono himself, it turned out he had a spare drivers side :D which came in the mail today (he also sent some stickers as well!):

So now I have both lenses, one is pretty yellow though :roll: but the one nono sent is very clean and clear

Ignoring the fact that they do need to be resealed and repaired, I was hoping to get some opinions, instead of keeping them chrome I was thinking of painting them red or black:

What do you guys reckon? any other ideas?

On the inside Aza ...

And I say do the inside red ... If you black it out, it may look too much like a supra..

I wanted to do the blacked out look for front and rear lights.. But colour matched to the car.. Not the sh*tty normal black/grey ...
I just had to add it ......

thanks guys

As said above, I would only be painting the inside, hopefully I'll will leave the lenses as they are

I am leaning towards blacked out, basically because they show up more whilst the red ones....don't lol

my 2c, black would be boring as crap.
They are a design to show off on the car.

I would either go body color so it looks like a part of the car, or leave them, as there is only 1 Project F.

Why add your body kit on your Suzuki Mike? Why add the wing, why change your rims. I know some may be for your track days but surely not all.

I know why, because it looks better!

thanks for your opinions guys

I'm still leaning towards black tbh, maybe red but definitely not chrome because I see so many aftermarket chrome tail lights, that it wouldn't actually be all that unique

034346: Project F in japan made 500 sets, must be around 10 years ago. Seen a few sets here in Australia but there aren't many.
