kinda of topic. my buddies 94 accord coupe has IS300 tails. it looks pretty cool. I think it would look good on a lancer. you just gotta make sure the geometry of it it right. gotta make sure the body lines line up.

i have done a acura integra taillights into chevy lumina conversion. pics here of lumina, www.cardomain.com/id/mattsz34. i am also going to be doing the is300 taillights on my lancer fairly soon. also is300 headlights on my lancer. i have seen s2k taillights on a few cars, but hte one that stands out the most is s2k tails on a 95 toyota corolla. dont remember where i saw the pics but i thought that was pretty crazy.

man i have noticed on this site that no matter what you do it is considered rice. how can you be different in a sport where different is what you strive for, if everything that you do to be different is wrong??? that doesnt make any sense. the best way to win competitions and get the best looks on the street is to have the best, most different looking ride, am i right??? if all you do is bolt on a body kit, you havent doen anything different. rice is doing stupid things to your car like stickers for **** you dont even have, or thinking you are cool because you painted your mirrors and doorhandles a different color than your car. customization is about being different and doing so in a very original and tasteful way. light conversions are good as long as you dont do the same one that everyone else is doing, i.e. supra. but i guess to each his own.

oh yeah, thanks army for the compement on the lumina. i think that car turned out really good. we had a few problems with paint but we got it done. i would say that i could do the is300 light swap for you if you want but you are pretty far away.. if you are willing to travel to florida for about a month or so i could probably have your car converted and painted, haha. but i know thats a pretty crazy idea.

One of the definitions of rice is trying to make ur car something it's not... In this case putting IS300 tails on a lancer is trying to make it like an IS300... someone was asking about the IS300 front end conversion.... that is also rice. If you like the IS300 then sell your lancer and buy one, dont just do a half assed job and just mold it's tail lights into ur car. I dont have anything against modifying the show aspect of cars, but what really gets to me is when people try to make their cars something it isnt...
