Hi everyone,

I'm after these tail light reflector covers, but cant find them for sale anywhere on the net. also none on yahoo auctions at the moment.

wondering if anyone know where to get them from.

I've seen a few different ones, but they don't all come down and meet the bottom line of the window and that is specifically what i want.

I would really prefer to get the covers, rather than vinyl wrap because I would like to get them painted same color as the car.

And as for takeros and freeway dolphin I found one US website that sells them but from the pictures they are look like the shorter ones and don't come all the way down to the window line.

I specifically want the ones that come all the way down to the window line.

They are Takeros series 2 tailight covers, the carbon fiber ones:

The series 1 came halfway down, the series 2 is to the window (hard to tell with the black car in the pic) I can confirm as I have seen these on the silver full takeros kitted m35 that was being sold in VIC last year.

However for the price they ask for them you could get them made locally - or plastidip/vinyl wrap as Scotty & Lakes mentioned, inexpensive and easily removeable.

If you want to go genuine maybe ask someone like Jesse Streeter what he would charge to get you a pair if Takeros still make them?

Had a look and they are still listed on the Takeros website and you can get them in FRP for Y12,600 ($135ish AUD) - so you could get them in via streeter or IM, if you do let me know the total to your door, I'd be interested to know!

The link you posted for the autostyle website is not the full length ones I'm after, as you can see the full blinker lens, and the blinker lens extends up past the window another 3 inches or so.

I will check out the takeros site in a few hours. If they are available at that price plus shipping, I will gladly purchase.

Hmm, I swear they are full length, but I see what you mean, In that picture I always assumed the blue sticker was on the body not the window, if you go by the lens it does look like you may be right, however why would they have two same length garnishes for sale?

Regardless I did see the full lengths on the M35 I mentioned, and it was all Takeros (looked almost identical to the silver display car on their website without the decals).

Good luck with the search!

sometimes it really looks nice)

Possible that different 2 sets for sale maybe because 1 is fibre glass/plastic and the other carbon?

^ I thought of that orginally but the Takeros website states that both the V1 & V2 are availible in FRP/Carbon and lists prices for each.

Nice! Just need to learn to read russian? I think making the covers look like an extension of the glass looks better than matching them to the paintwork.

Likewise, I didnt really think the white looked all that good - but that looks quite menacing in black!

i looked on the takeros website, but for the life of me i could not find the longer ones.

if its not to much trouble could you post a link please?

Off cut of vinyl (free), hairdryer, couple of hours on a rainy day. Easy DIY & removable if you want a change.

I did mine years ago & still looks as new. A bit of polish brings it up nice & shiny.

I've now purchased a second set of tail lights , I already have the lens removed. I'm going to do an LED patern inside for the tail and brake lights. And I'm going to get the lens' professionaly painted to match the color of the car so now I have no need for the covers.

I paid $150 for a full set of tail lights, So realistically I have a spare set and it is probably cheaper then buying the covers.

So the set I'm now modifying will have LEDs in them and top half painted silver to match the car and also the section around the reverse light will be silver. And my stock ones are staying as is internally but painted black on the top half.

This way I have a spare set and can mix and match when I want.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
