What do you guys think? I have always loved the three little white lines at the ends of the 89+ tails, and the two-piece look of the pre-89 tails...This is what I came up with. :biglaugh:
Cool/unique Taillights?

definately. the supra's rear is one of the reasons why i chose it as my favorite car that i can afford:biglaugh:
i like the pre-89, too.
most new cars these days have pretty ugly tail lights, i think.
all in all, the sup's rear is the best on the ROAD!

As long as its done right (read: looks professional and perfect) I think it would look good.
As for the concept itself, I could go either way, I kinda like the full-wide taillight cluster but thats just my opinion.
Do whatever floats your boat, it could definitly look good if done right! I've never seen it done before so I'm having a hard time picturing it other than the photoshop you posted. (Zooloo isn't listed in SF's directory)
So yeah, give it a shot!

looks AWESOME in HIS color..i think it would look good on darker colors...but not on lighter colors such as white.

Yes it looks really good on Zooloos Supra and a big reason for that is that he also "lifted" the licenceplate up, so it doesn´t sit as deep.

i think it looks pretty sweet, give it a shot, just take your time and do it the right way and im sure itll look nice.
Question, Is there any work involved once you remove the centerpeice? Or does it just unbolt, then will a good rubbing, polishing compound and wax job clean it up? I think that loook good too.

Well, i am planning on using the pre-89 center piece... I have heard you have to use a dremel to cut into the center section, because the 89+ lights are a few cm's wider... I guess I'll just have to figure it out!
I really would like to do this to my car, since I have to replace my tails anyway (fire melted them)...but I don't really have the money for them, so I am going to stick w/ a pair of pre-89's for now...

I think Zooloo's and Chopstickz look so good because they went with the whole 89+ lights but painted the middle, with the pre 89 center piece it wouldnt look so good. But I'm also a big fan of the 89+ tails and not the pre89's, that center piece never appealed to me.

you're right, the uniform height really makes a difference and gives it a newer rounded look. I think the pre 89 lights like mine look a bit dated...
for a while i wanted the pre 89 lights with the 89+ centerpiece but i dont think it can be done. can it? even thoug pondering it doesn't help, because i know i wouldnt spend money on new lights even if i wanted to. :nono:
when i get more money...then i'll ponder it more, but this thread makes me want to think about it a bit sooner

Nope, it wouldn't be possible, because the end taillight 89+ pieces are a bit wider than the pre-89's...if you put the 89+ center piece in between two pre-89 lights, there would be a pretty big gap on either side...sorry.
Here's a visual aid:
