Taillight conversion complete!!!! (With pics)

[Boost Lee]

I'm not arguing with you, Young Gun. Remember, I converted to 89+ MYSELF. But you have to admit, they do have similarity.

I see no picture. Red X, FTL.

But anywho, Yes, A70 > ...Buick.

I know all about the fun of swaping tails on a supra.:biglaugh:
Looks great! You did put in new tail-light gaskets while doing so yes? Almost every supra needs new ones lol. Or were you one of the lucky few?

i dont think that anyone is that lucky.

yes it is a must.

 

[suprabad]

Good job.

Looks good but, I like the pre-89 tails.

 

[balong]

[ValgeKotkas]

The previous owner installed the exhaust, along with purple neon :/

I'm glad it fell into my hands now, because it will be so much better in a year!

I just can't wait to start driving it!

ok good I thought you put it on and you were going to fight with me that it's the shit well I'm happy to see that it's in good hands now and the tails came out great

I like the idea of a fence to Mexico and back more than the lights...

Who cares? :dunno: A Ford Taurus has similar taillights to those of the RX-7. Integra taillights look similar to MKIV lights. Ford Probe taillights look similar to MK3 lights.

Agreed!


FWIW, Probes are a poor supra rip off.

 

[MK3.0dudeman]

Yeah I'm not old enough to drive it ='[

But you can never be too young to work on a Supra, as long as you know what your doing, and you take your time.

Wow, I forgot this thread existed. Thanks everyone!

And the gaskets were in decent shape, but I plan on getting new ones soon.

I think my next mod should be to either get rid of the stock rims, or to get another stock blue steering wheel (Mines shot).

 

[Red '88T]

The biggest issue with this 'mod' is the mis-match of the trim.
I slightly prefer the '89+ tails, but not at the expense of messing with the trim.
Good luck with your car!

 

[st2b]

The trim shouldn't be that hard to fix really. Just remove the center peice, tape off what you don't need painted and paint!

 

[fiyota]

or go ahead and replace all the crappy pre89 trim with nice shiny 89+ trim so it matches the tails center section... but that's just me.

Swapping from pre89 to 89+ tails is fairly simple.. just two holes need to be drilled, then you just bolt them on.. took me about half hour my first time.. that includes looking around for my drill and drill bits. Come to think of it, I did it at like 7am before I hit the road to suprafest in 06.
