yo whats up.... having trouble... my car is goin to go in the body shop.. but i was thinkin before to go in their.. i should do the toyota supra tail lights conversion on my 95-99 Eclipse... does anyone know how much it is to do a conversion like that??? like how much the price range froms.. i have the supra light i can get them cheap as hell but..... has anyone done it before ??? i need help.. is it hard???.... reply as soon as possible... thanx for the help...
 
your crazy as hell.. u guys.. dont know anything .... thanx
 
I'm not too sure, but it will probably cost over $1,000 plus the costs of the tail lights. It's all custom body work.
 
besides the fact, supra tailights look hideous on a eclipse...it would be pretty damn expensive as well, my guess is well over $1000
 
Only conversion I think that looks good is the Silvia headlight conversion. But even that costs over 2,000 with parts.
 
ahhh...too late....you're already getting buried about this topic!

supra?!? toyota?!? what's wrong with you? not proud to own a dsm?

although i understand what you're trying to do...be original...it will be costly....the price of the conversion it's gotta be around the 2K mark.

you may wanna search the DSM gallery if you haven't already to see if anyone did a similar mod.
 
You are crazy as the deepest darkest flames of hell!!!!!! DSM's are a cost efective way to aquire speed! sell your car, buy an 89 accord, put a triple stack spoiler on, supra tail lights, s200 headlights, and 22's on! or just buy a supra if you like the lights so much.
 
Please don't be discouraged by the above post's...

Before I came here, I was sure that the people that posted here would be fair and such... But that isn't really the case. WAY to much bias, and
not enough apprieciation.

As for the conversion, I'm not sure.

But I do know that It would look great, and I hope you can get a fair price for it.

And I repeat, don't be discouraged. Most of the above people just can't afford it, so they down it.

Your's truly,

Marty:)
 
I'd rather spend my 3k on a gt12 turbo 56trim, buschur FMIC, and a blitz boost controler
 
No mr. unbiased...you are wrong...most of the people here own DSM's not supras or other cars. If DSM had planned on putting supra style lights on their car, then they would have worked out a agreement with toyota. Why in the hell would you put another cars parts on your car if they are not of the same manufacturer? It sounds to me like someone else is the cheap guy. If you can't afford a Supra, then don't buy a less expensive car and try to make it look like something it is not. I appreciate the looks of modded exteriors, but not modded exteriors of other cars molded into ours. That, my friend, is completely tasteless, ignorant, and a disgrace to the DSM community! You both need a kick in the nuts.:)
 
2gnt.com people would be much more helpful on this type of topic :) I think supra taillights are tyte looking... but on a supra.. honestly have never seen them on a DSM, dont really have a desire to.. but if you do it definitely post pics

go to the 2gnt forums and ask there

Can't afford it? How do you know most people can't afford to do it? I can easily afford it but I don't wan't to waste $2k to make my car look fugly and riced. I'd rather spend it on stuff that is useful for my car. Some people have TASTE, it's not a matter of $$.
 
Personally I think its stick the way some of you are acting. If the guy wants to do something to his car, who are you to say anything about it and put him down for it? If you have no help for him, then in my opinion, I think you should just shut up.
 
This is just my opinion.

I personally dont like anything about the subra as far as styling but thats just me, i especially dont like the tail lights IMO thats the worst part of the car.

However i have seen some DSMs with some fairly clean conversions to the supra tail lights.

Everyone has their own flavor of styling. Some people want to be different and stand out. Im not sure if a supra tail light conversion would be considered unique anymore since lots of people have done them. I personally think the car is attractive as it is. Its just the same as with bodykits, some look good and some dont but again its to the owners taste, after all you will be the one driving it, not me.

Out of all the conversions that i have seen on an eclipse the only one that i really liked was the 300zx headlight conversion.

If you decide to do the tail light conversion i would first check around. Find a reputable shop that has done supra tail light conversions, dont be in such a hurry. I have seen some that are clean and others that look like the result of an 18 pack and a bottle of JD

Not that i have attempted working on my car after an 18pack and bottle of JD, someone elses car...........well thats different.
 
how about you get a little bit longer foogin signature, oh and you spelled illigal wrong in it :rolleyes:
 
Yeah isn't his sig CLEARLY AGAINST THE SIG RULES??? John aka friendly Mod, you need to get rid of his sig. Doesn't it say NO MOD LISTS! for a sig?:laugh:

As I said before, you have no respect for other's if you can't get past the fact that he want's to do something different.

Leaving the car stock isn't original, unlike what some of you think. If stock cars looked so great, you would never see a Civic win an competitions.

As for me and Supra's... I can easily afford one. It's the high upkeep that comes with a high horsepower car that cost's alot. Not a NA Supra. If I wanted a Supra, I would have bought one.

Again, and probably not for the last time, I say why can't you all stop being bias and look past the fact that what he want's to do is something cool and appreciate it. Seem's we are all in the same boat here.

As for me being an a$$, I don't know... but some of you sure do.

:(

Just because I change the headlights and tailights of my car doesn't mean I dont own a DSM. I would say that the stock look of a DSM is great, but a modded one goes past great. And before, if this wasn't the case, stock Eclipse's would win many-a-competition.

But they don't. Use some sense, and not your blind opinion. Telling someone that there car will be ugly / a waste of money is STUPID. We all own the same car. Differences aside. (2G, 1G)
 
The day someone molds 2g lights into a 1g, front, rear or both, or 1g to 2g or the day that someone molds 2g to 1g front or rear bumpers or vice versa is the day that I will be impressed. Again, I like modded cars. However molding a toyota part to a civic to a dsm to a escort is as pointless as mating a pitbull and a deer. get it? It makes no sense whatsoever. To each his/her own but at least keep it tastefull and within the same manufacturer. :)
