Where Can I Find These Tail Light Covers?

[walkoau]

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.

If you can't find them just vinyl wrap them and cut to the hight you want. I think takeros or freeway dolphin make then though still

[walkoau]

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.

These cars are leaving Japan, no-one will be doing them up nowdays. All the parts are becoming discontinued. I would be plasticoating the lights off the car personally.

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!

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?

Any update on getting these from the Russian website drive2.ru ?

Shame the website doesn't support English, I can't work out how to contact them.

[Nzguzzi]

I guess I could prime and 2 pot black paint the light covers and remove the bulbs?

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.
