Default Why No Clear Tail Lights?

i just saw clear tail lights for the Z on ebay, personally i wouldnt put them on my Z, they seem very honda ricey to me, but i kno evo has it and s2k has a unique looking tail light also. Just wondering, why doesnt anyone have them on their Z? Bc they look so teenage honda rice?

Got a link? I can't find it. Are you talking about clear taillights or Altezzas, aka Eurotails?

Clear taillights aren't bad as long as they have tons of red LED's in them.

Altezzas aren't bad with red overlays. http://www.bluebatmobile.com

Otherwise they just look plain stupid.

Because they have a big bubble sticking out on the side, aside from the fact that they are completely rice.

If someone came out with a decent looking clear tailight that didnt have that stupid bubble, and was lots of red LED in it. I would maybe put it on. lol

First of all, euro style lights are played out.
Second, it screams R-I-C-E

It's not even "rice". It just looks terrible. I never liked it when people first started to do it, and now that every honda has one, I dislike it even more.

Oh yeah, the makers of the bottom taillights should face some kind of justice. No crime like that should go unpunished.

If those tail lights did not have that huge bubble on them, I would love to put them on my car, but only because I have a redline, and the stock tail lights blend into the car. Any other color of Z, no way.
