Custom Tail Lights

[wrightie]

Howdy poeple. I just recieved a pair of custom tails that were made by another member on the sight. I was not thrilled at the workmanship or apperance of them. They look OK. I know alot of you out there would be interested in new tails if they were better quality. I just started to construct my own style. After I work out the kinks they will be going on sale for everyone to buy. Trust me, these are gonna look mint. You will all finally have another option to buy custom tail lights. A little freindly competition never hurt anyone. they should be done in a few days.

Wrightie

[BlackJack]

hawt.....can't wait to see a set.

[*Iceman*2k6*]

I can't wait either. I'm dying to get rid of these stock tails. How long did it take to receive them and which ones did you get???

[littlebandito]

Sounds like a plan, got a price in mind?

[Rubered00]

a little competition is awesome...keeps people honest.

Theres a guy on the 350z board i belong to that just started competed with another and it's become a big ass deal with the original seller getting really pissed off and it has been rediculous...i hope that doens't happen here because competition is great.

ebay has them the cheapest....
but even then, you're looking at $150++ for a full set.

[b-spot]

How could you actually send money to someone with that avatar? lol

[cherrington17]

from what i've seen, a wrighte quality project is a thing of beauty. :lol:

personally, i like my tails (i guess they fit better on a dark red car) but i have a friend who wants his cleared... if that is what your doing. i too, am waiting for pics.

[Str33tRacer]

my car is red, so i think ill leave mine just how they are

[littlebandito]

Mines bright red, and the stocks fit pretty well, but Id like to see what some aftermarket tails would look like...gimmiegimmiegimmie!

[stealthlero]

i'd love to get a set of cleared tails, but first ill wait and see what the tinted tails looks like on the back of my black Alero, i may like it instead, especially since the VHT only costs 10 bucks a can!

[Baca05]

Hey I have a red car too?!?!?!?! BTW I cant wait to see this project ,and if its good or beyond good I will buy!! Well when I find some money!!!

[Str33tRacer]

no red cars no! cleared altezzas and all that ick, ricey yes, but if you want that look thats fine, my car has a ricey look kinda but the tails are what set the car off. Custom tails just look odd on red green or blue cars

[littlebandito]

True, Ive only seen cleared tails on silver and white. I dont thikn cleared tails would actually look that good, if thats what wrighty's doing. But hey, cant hurt to see.

[wrightie]

howdy folks I just finished My molds and am putting the finishing touches on the first set. Trust me on this. You will all love them. should have pics soon. Cant wait for you all to see them.

Wrightie

[Redog]

Looking forward to seeing pics :thumb:

[jonez]

How soon are we looking before we will see something

[wrightie]

The first set is obviously taking the longest becase I am making molds and sizing everything. Once I am done this I should be able to knock off sets of them in no time.

[robz02alero]

sounds good man...lookin' forward to it...are you creating like a "how to" while your in the process of all this...?

[jonez]

You have a price yet

[*Iceman*2k6*]

I can't wait any longer!!! Hope the price is reasonable.

[kwhauck]

hurry up already........lol

[wrightie]

will have pics tomorrow.

[2fst4u]

yeeeeahhhh boyyyyy!

[toddbobby]

can't wait to see a pair. Do you know a price yet?

[battistoni21]

yeah dude let me know asapppppppppppppppp

[SweetNLow]

[cavaliers60]

I can't wait to see them too!!! I've been looking for a good set for my Alero, but can't find any that would look good on mine... And I too want to know how much they are going to be...

[rlf_unique]

[cavaliers60]

Tomorrow has come and gone... lol Where are the pictures??????????? I guess it's taking him longer than he thought.. I'm still waiting. :biggrin:

[*Iceman*2k6*]

[wrightie]

[Str33tRacer]

what kind of lights did you make? just altezzas or LEDs or clears....

[wrightie]

first set are just clears. I am sure as I go along i will try different styles.

[turtles_ride]

way to hype it, your too funny, stupid a$$ canajuns.

[cavaliers60]

All the suspense!!!!!! Let's see them tails! lol

[wrightie]

Can I email the pics to some one and they can post them for me. My computer is acting screwy

[wrightie]

When I decided to make these tails I wanted them to be superior to the others. I think they are far better looking and a much beter fit. What dom you think? I get a pic of the whole set soon, I just wanted to give ya little taste.

Wrightie

[wrightie]

come on guys let me send the pics to one of ya to post for me.

[sofa]

Icant see maaaan. i wanna see these w0000.

[cavaliers60]

I will be more than happy to post your pics on here! Gives me the chance to see them before anyone else. :lol:

[battistoni21]

[cavaliers60]

[wrightie]

[cavaliers60]

[wrightie]

[wrightie]

I hear ya. They are expensive. But i want you to know that I dont just slap these things together. I take pride in my work and they are they finest of quality. Wityh the time put in to make a set it has to be this price to cover my time and expences. Plus if they are to expensive I suggest you no buy them.

[cavaliers60]

Sorry it took so long guys.... silly dial up.. :lol:

[cavaliers60]

I think it's a pretty good price... It is out of my range right now, but I will be getting some in a few months! :)

[littlebandito]

I would definatly get some, but I have a bright red car, so it would look pretty homo...but the do indeed look sweet.

[natedawg9640]

i can vouch for him in the arguement that people have to realize the time it takes to make things... not to mention the expense they put into it to create it... time is money and if you aren't handy enough to create them for yourselves you have to buy them... nice work dude... i dont know how much time that took or whatever... but when i make things for people i just charge them an hourly wage + materials... i'd imagine you'd be doing the same thing... although to stay competitive i wouldn't be greedy... *(not saying you are)*... anyway... good looking stuff... :thumb:

[eag182]

nice gouging writie

[battistoni21]

good work, but im the same as 2fst4u...... 450 for bran new ones...... damnn, nice work though dude

[Cyber Knight]

That price is not much better than what Anderbra has been offering for years, and they don't look much diff :( . $300 CAD without cores incl shipping might fly...might. That aside though you did a real nice job, I might just make my own too if it only takes a few days like yours did.

[johny_boy32]

they look awesome wrightie, I owned the first set of anderbra clear tail lights and I loved them. I had them on my car before I opted to change the direction of my car. Knowing what I know, the price is fair for a non-exsistant add-on for a car like yours. I got pulled over by random people all the time asking where i got them, how much, and how they can get there hands on some. I've never seen another alero with "altered" tail lights to this date and i probably never will.

I'll refer back to that old addage; "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR"

[sofa]

those are sick wrightie. good job once again. sik :alcoholic:

[99Olds]

Are you thinking about doing some Altezza style ones, or some led ones? Should try offering something different from Anders

[Menace]

I think they came out pretty damn good. You can tell the difference then the anembra clear tails.

[wrightie]

I was a little surprised by cyber knights coment that they dont look much different. Dood my lights arnt covered by a bicycle innner tube. It is proffesionally trimmed and the fitment is perfect. I have a set of the OTHER tails and they dont come close to the fit or look of mine. I am not bothered if you buy them or not. But trust me on this, people will when they start to hear about the difference in quality from the others available.

[BlackJack]

I think cavaliers60 should get a free set for helping with the advertising :)

[littlebandito]

Ok, I understand the "cleared" taillights, and the led cuz...well duh they have led's in them. But what exactly are altezzas?

[BlackJack]

term to describe a certain design that was copied from the Toyota Altezza. Do a google on the Altezza and look for rear shots, you'll see what I mean.

[derek_ski99]

aka Eurotails

I like that idea!!! :lol: :thumb: or maybe a hefty discount.. lol... or even better! 10% of the profit. :emotlol: just kidding.... free set would be awesome though! :thumb:

[littlebandito]

Hmm...the Altezzas are pretty sweet, they look like they would almost look good on a bright red car. Anderba sell those or just clears?

[wrightie]

I do the altezza lights as well

[Str33tRacer]

i think more people would be willing to buy altezzas than clears.... i would follow the GA tails for reference

[99Olds]

Id be interested in a pair of altezza's. Once you make a pair, post some picks, it'll be intresting to see how yours will look. This is some good quality stuff, it seems.

[QuebecAlero]

Same for me, Altezza would be really great and maybe ill be interested in buying them.

[Pilate]

All I can say is WOW. Those look like they are professionally done! Defiantely better looking than other versions I have seen.

[littlebandito]

I would definatly look into investing in some Altezzas...

[Alero2k4]

If you could set up a nice set of LED's I would be interested. IMO clears and Altezza's would look like azz on my red Alero.

[littlebandito]

Yea...Im a little confused...whats the difference between LED taillights and LED's in the stock tails?

[wrightie]

heres a side shot for ya

here

and another

paint the insides body color........like people do on headlights......

[SweetNLow]

they look descent.

that black border is gonna look like hell on any car thats not black though.....

[wrightie]

I could trim it off in any colour you want I just picked black because that is the colour of my car

[Alero2k4]

Good call Turbo. Wrightie, is your price USD or CAD???

[wrightie]

American. I am taking some flack about my prices but you have to understand for me to just get the lights it is minimum 150 then the lexan,glue, trim paint, and time I really wouldnt say that im gonna make a million off these things. I take pride in my work and spend considerable time working on them.

well thats good then.

and remeber people crying about the price are gonna be 17 year old kids who expect u to give these things away.

your smart....... u know what the other options are for clear tails.... if someone wants a set bad enuff they will pay u what your asking cuase its a fair price.

[Str33tRacer]

my god those like tight on that car!! my advise man, get into the altezzas asap there tons of ppl on here that like them, LEDs, yes maybe even carbon fiber for silver cars, exellent work

[Alero2k4]

No doubt, I don't really understand all the *whining*. Honestly, this isn't something quick and easy like clearing headlights. This is a specialty item that takes alot of talent. I really wouldn't consider it gouging with all the time, effort, and quality put into them...keep up the good work wrightie :thumb:

[cavaliers60]

Look at it this way too, people.... for $450.... I beleive he said you are getting the WHOLE set.... so I think it's a pretty good deal!

[rlf_unique]

WOW THAT LOOKS NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ON A BLACK CAR

and remeber people crying about the price are gonna be 17 year old kids who expect u to give these things away.


<--17, prepared to pay the price, stereotypical bastard!!:P jk

[battistoni21]

I like the new pics wrightie.... they look clean and made with time, very nice work

[ptrudel]

holy crap man, i like those, good job

[Justy311]

Hey they look awesome, who cares what people say about price. Honestly, if someone wants it bad enough they will either buy from someone who makes them on here, or make their own...and by no means will anyones look as nice as these....they look sweet man, congrats....

[wrightie]

well here they are huys, full set complete. I think they came out mint. I guess I will let you be the judge of that though. PM me if intereted. I will be starting an altezza set in the next few days.

[wrightie]

another view

[Satsuriku]

curious to see what those would look like on a white car, if they look as good as im hoping, i might just invest in a altezza set

[alerocar01]

those look nice. good work.

[Ghadsphi]

Those look tight. I would definatly pick up a pair except I live in California :(
Our state law requires "Two red reflectors are required on the rear of cars and trucks (24607 VC)" and " In general, custom tail lights that incorporate a clear outer shell and red inner lens are legal (24011 VC). " Out here the government likes it money, it makes me want to cry.

[elitecloud]

Ghadsphi, if you know the laws about that in AZ, pm me plz ;-)

[UnoWHO]

very nice work man

[TwistedDreams]

most custom tails dont look good with red vehicles so if u could think of an idea for us Red Alero drivers?

[derek_ski99]

yeah..leave em red since they blend in with the color of your car already

[99Olds]

I dont know maybe an altezza wouldnt look to bad on a red car, with red trim instead of black. IDK i have seen some red cars with custom tails, that dont look too bad

[wrightie]

who is gonna be my ginea pig for a set in red trim I will sell them at a discount to get the ball rolling.

[sound_xtreme]

im doin a fiberglass one with an extra tail i got.

[thegoat54]

I dont think those would look to good on my silver alero. I'd rather have mine blacked out.

[99Olds]

I wouldnt mind being the ginea pig, what kinda discount are we talking bout?

[battistoni21]

im the same way as goat was saying, i have a silver alero, and i think tinting them would be the best.... if you make anything that would look smooth on a silver alero, lemme know, i'll prob be interested in the future

[battistoni21]

did you make anything new yet? if not, try makin some led's!

[Ghadsphi]

Well?!? Sorry for poking but after those tight cleared tails we're all waiting to see what else you have in the works. Rumors and drool buckets are standing by.

Actually that's a requirement of FMVSS 108 so it's a federal requirement in the US. IF you left the red reflectors there it would be fine. Or i guess you could put some on in another place. (kinda like how the RX330 lexus has them down low)

[Crazytaxi37]

Nice work Wrightie. Looks like good workmanship.

You think you could make some LED ones??? I would love to have a set. :D

[stealthlero]

how much were you charging for the regular cleared tails??.... or weren't you doing those anymore?

[wrightie]

you are looking at about 400. And that is only if I can get a deal on the original set. They are expensive to buy. I could mod poeples existing lights but they would be without for a couple of weeks.
I probably could do the Led's. Send me some pics of styles that appeal to ya, and I can mimic them.

I might possibly be able to do that actually.... Just let me know how much and if you will be able to do LEDs or not.. cause that's really what I want.
