OK guys, with Christmas coming up and my ARB on the way...I am now officially into the "wanting to buy things, obsessed with modding" mode right now.

Where can I find some good carbon fiber (black) tail lights for my '95. They have em on Perf. Products but they are only for 3rd genners.

I searched and didnt come up with anything solid...?????

did you get the ARB deluxe bar?

 

It should be here next Wednesday if all goes as planned...I'm really hoping it gets here before Thanksgiving so that way I'd have all Thanksgiving break to get it put on.

I hope your not talking about the "altezza" "euro" lights... are you?

 

Hey turboale, I noticed you don't have your clear tails on no more....don't like 'em no more? If you're getting rid of them, PM me!

 

I got the carbon fiber ones. I dont like the look of the "carbon fiber" but I think ill paint em.

 

I don't want the ricer looking ones, bascially just a black version of the Euro lights...my buddy has them on his black Prelude and they look really awesome. But I do NOT want the ricer looking Altezza/Euro lights...those are hideous.

Yamaha,

Can you post a pic of them and tell me where you got them?

Thanks man!

Unless something changed in the last couple of weeks they don't make any aftermarket taillights for the 2nd gen 4runner. The only ones that were made were the all clears that are no longer produced. No black taillight or any other type of altezza or custom taillights have been produced. By the way, the taillights for the pickups will not fit the 4runner.

 

Well damn, I was hopin there was somethin out there for them.

I remember a while back I was lookin and didnt find anything...guess nothins changed.

I want to get the arb deluxe bar.. but am concerned about the extra weight and crap... are there any lighter solutions? like the safari bar?? anyone know anything about those?

 

Yep, there really are no aftermarket taillights for 2nd gen 4Runners... And I have looked. That's why I just painted mine in the end. Black covers are another option.

 

Hey Mike, can you give a little detail as to what kind of paint, process, etc. that you used when painting those tails. How has it held up? I'm tired of looking everywhere for new tails, and the all clears just don't do it for me. BTW ever thought of gettin rid of that stripe, might be my next move as well. Thanks, kp

 

Vato,
Already sold them to a buddy. I miss them every now and then, but I just got fed up with changing bulbs every month. I might try and get them back someday, but I'd rather get the 02 tails.

As for the paint, just go to a model shop and look in the paint section. You'll find what your looking for. My friend did his tails on his old volvo, turned out pretty well. I'll ask him what exactly he used...

 

I used Testors Transparent Candy Apple Red model paint. The part# is 1605, and it's an enamel paint. I prepped with soap, water, and hit them with Meguiar's PLASTIX wax. Once I was sure the surface was clean, I hit them with the paint. I used two coats, and they have held up fine. I have thrown some mud up on them, hit them with a pressure washer, and had them in the rain. No signs of peeling...

 

This is correct. I used to have them a while back, but can't get them unless I import them, and you don't want to know how much that is, $$$. Too much.

 

NO! Don't mess around with your tail lights, any lights that are altezza style, or anything similar to that are considered gay, and extremely poser. Performance over looks... those are just a waste of money. They all do the same thing; they display light. Repeat after me, "ALTEZZAS ARE GAY!"

 

My buddy used the testors stuff too...

Here's a couple pics of mine...

 

Do you think you could do that same thing but with black? Would you still be able to see the lights?

Alteza are all in ur own opionin. but if u want them. look on EBAY! u can get them pretty cheap. jsut emails the fools and tell them u want cheaper shipping. thats where they get you. and they normaly knock a lil bit off the price. i got a 2 wheel drive 94 toyota. with chrome alteza's was like $45 on EBAY plus shipping. i like them. they had carbon fiber. but i have total chrome front end and chrome mirrors. so i like the chrome. by the way in case u mite not have known. all toyota grills are chrome. they jsut paint over them black at the factory. a lil bit of acotone from say Auto Zone. will whip the black paint right off and leave it all prudy and chrome
