I like the taillights at http://store.racerwheel.org/rt001267.html but it says 01-03 and I have an 05 EX. Will these fit on my car? Are there any web sites with a good variety of taillights for the 05 EX?

I sometimes see these mentioned as "Fast and Furious" on a few websites...that isn't a reference to the movie is it? Were these exact lights shown in the movie? If they were, I'm going to seriously have to reconsider.

 

Those WILL NOT WORK. I take it that you have an 05 coupe, then? Your model is compatable with the 04 year and I personally think procivic.com is the best... along with good ol ebay! Is your coupe black? I think black on black is good, but anything else looks a little weird.

 

Yep, its a coupe. I figured the 03-04 changed the tail lamps, too bad, those are really nice. The car's color is actually a dark grey. I saw these pics on another web site and thought I might be able to get away with black backed/trimmed lamps:

But if this really does look stupid in person, do let me know, I don't want to end up with a car that looks silly.

 

NO That looks waay good... but not perfect on the car. If you get the black tails you have to remember symmetry. So with black in back you gotta have black housing in front, like projectors. For rims you should consider black or gunmetal black w/ a chrome lip to keep the car dark. And then drop the tint down to like 20-35%... that civic has limo tint which is illegal and chrome wheels which I personally think are tacky when you have black headlights and chrome tails... Remeber with rims you must drop the gap between tire and car so it looks cooler and then consider a carbon fiber hood and trunk to keep that symmetry going. So to sum up in the order of how I would do it for a silver civy:
#1 - Black Headlights=Black taillights (and that is a MUST)... the black projectors can be found on procivic.com and you should then consider HIDs
#1 1/2 - HID kit... get the 6 kelvin ones because they shine BRIGHT!!! (I got the 8k ones and they are more blue than bright... but still freaking brighter than halogens)
#2 - Tint (about 20-35% looks good, but less illegal... but still illegal!)
#3 - Matching rims (Black w/chrome lip or black gunmetal w/chrome lip... and 17s are waay hot)
#4 - Lower it like 1.5 inches (so you wont need a camber kit)
#5 - Carbon fiber hood and trunk (but if that aint your style then dont worry about it)
#6 - Sell the car to me!

 

Got #2 taken care of. Tint is pretty much a requirement in South Texas, otherwise I'd just bake in that car. I completely agree with #1 but I'm having the hardest time finding any 05 Civic EX Coupe aftermarket taillights. The only one I have found on the net so far is at ProCivic and its not really the style I'm looking for, not to mention, doesn't really show much of a black back, just has black on the trim.

Does anyone know where I can get taillights for my car? That is the one thing that is holding me back from my plans for this style.

#3 agreed #4 Probably just going to get coilovers #5 some day after I finish the I/H/E or turbo

#6

 

After searching around, I finally found these on ebay - ebay linky. Anyone know if DEPO lights are good?

 

Those are nice! Is Depo a good brand? Any sealing or leaking problems?

 

personaly i would keep stock tails, anything else looks [sm=forgetit.gif],but thats just me.

 

whaaaaaaaaaaat Moog you're back? You sneaking onto the computer? just kiddin man, really glad to see you on here again.

IMO i like those taillights alot, but don't expect many other peopleto. Go ask Honda-Tech thoguh, i hear they love these.....

 

Yeah guys, DEPO is a good brand. You can find their stuff at MaxZone.com I've had a set of LED DEPO tails for my 2000 Civic and haven't had a single problem with them, and I've had them on for overa year.
