well like i said, if i have a stock set made would anyone be interested? im asking because im having a tool made for the custom clears for me this weekend. they will have the bubbles and they will be vacuum formed. and if i can get enough intrests, ill make stock clears as well. these will go where the stock outter cover is right now so youll have to remove the red outer half to make them fit.
these are being made by a plastics fabricator and they and they will be exact duplicates of the factory. once i get my custom set i may not have time to do a set for the stockers, so if you want a set email me and we'll talk.

Its really getting old when people shoot down other people for a mod. I wont mention any names. If someone wants them let them get them, dont be telling people whats cool and whats not. Just because you aren't selling them you tell people not to buy them. There's a lot of that going around.:mad:

PS what kind of cars mostly have wide body kits? ummmmm....Japanese ones....oh my gosh!!

Preach on, That has been happening ALOT.
So are these like the Altezzas or are they different(Not that I want them, just curious)

Exactly how much are we talking to purchase these...and I would prefer pics first......if not available will discuss price.....for sight un-seen purchase. If that is cool with you I'm interested in a set.

I live like a few miles away from your work.. This sounds like a fun project. I would like clear lenses with a red reflective background or black. i would probably still keep my taillight covers on anyway. I hate the chrome or CF in Altezza style lights. I think the jewels inside them are ugly too. I can get my hands on some huge led lights from the city of milwaukee that can be modified. I dunno its an idea.

Keep me updated.

assume these will be a perfect copy of the outter cover except in clear instead of red. so if youre interested tell me, if not thats ok too.
and james i respect you, but come on man. im having a custom tool made for mine and i can have the stockers made at the same time. everyone was complaining when places said a tool would cost $10K and here i am getting it made. personally, i dont care if people want em or not, im just giving an opportunity. so again if youre interested just tell me.

james (customcougar),
just one question....if your so against the clear tails then why did you try soooo hard to get them made like you said on your site???...i just dont understand that...anyway...i may be interested as well...later on
mark

CATerina is also making a set but without the "boobies" haha....can't wait to see em

Crispy

if there is a way that they can be painted with auto paint later either on the inside or the outsides I would be in - depending on cost... ALSO

would it be possible that you could have some made that would be a tad larger than the stock tails... ? almost like LUNDS for the tails -- that way we could nightshade the covers or paint them body color for shows...

if both options are available I would be up for the second one more, again dependant on cost

Ya mine will look nothing like rice ones. I have pics but without them finished. They are in the mail as we speak.

Because he tries his best to help you guys out in whatever way he can, even if he doesn't like your idea...if it can be done, he'll make it happen. And also...he has a buisiness to run. Hope that clears things up.

CATerina
04-17-2002, 01:44 AM
OK here are some of my lights. 1st pic is what it looks like done, 2nd one isnt. He shaved the side marker light out for me. The secong pic doesnt have the paint over the glue yet.

Actually it's because he doesn't want anyone to buy them until he can sell them!custom_images/emoticons/shocked.gif When he finally gets them... they'll be cool!

Finally people who speak up against the tyranny of this site. And people CONSTANTLY shooting down others work. when they in turn are making the things themselves.....hypocrites.

to be honest, I don't mind those ricers lights, I think some of them out there now look pretty nice... there's lots of variety.

I don't care if you call me a ricer or not :) I personally think they look nice, if they had some tasteful ones out for the Cougar, I would buy em... I've seen some nice carbon fiber insert ones on a black teg, they look nice.

Feildexp: yeah, but when you speak up you get threatened with a strike for it, I said something because im just tired of " the showcar people" acting like if they dont sell it or have it on their cars its not cool. (not to mention most of them just happen to be moderators) so its to be expected to get a strike if you speak out against them

jonnycat
04-17-2002, 06:18 PM
This all stemmed from the MAJORITY not liking them, and the people who did, never spoke up and said that they liked them because they didn't want to get ragged on. I have been here for 11months now and I saw a post on the same old Altezza topic the day I joined. Wouldn't you (rhetorical question) sell something that you thought was ugly, but you could make good coin off of it?

As for hacking on the "show car people" they are the only ones getting **** developed for us. If it wasn't for a select few, we would be a lot further behind for available mods. Sure we would have some but we now have more options.

Fieldsexp

Too many people kiss too much A$$ around here. Just as cougar2k said, you will get strikes. I am living proff. I have been baned once for voiceing my opinion.

Agreed.

GnuLoCo
04-17-2002, 09:48 PM
I think the concept that 1badcat came up with is great. Create a system to make the clear lenses and let people do what they want with the lights. This allows complete customization. Everyones tails will have a look all their own. Would these be altezzas? NO! Unless you make them look that way. I think this would give us the opportunity to create anything we can dream up.. Like i said previoulsly. I can get LED sets that are made up of hundereds of lights per unit. you can pull out each LED separately and create a shape that would fit in the opening perfectly. Have the insides of the lights (the white part) painted body color and you are set. install the LED sets for the main brake lights. Get some decent backup lights installed... And seal the covers on. Throw on the taillight covers if you wish and you are set. Custom LED Tails. :biggrin:

also agreed...

badkat, I'm interested in seeing pictures... I can think of some awesome things to do with clear covers that wouldn't look a think like altezzas.

04-18-2002, 05:45 PM
I'm game for some clear lights. Any pics yet??

CATerina
04-18-2002, 06:06 PM
Im glad that everyone thinks he came up with the idea when mine are already done. :biggrin: :tongue:

Phantom
04-18-2002, 07:06 PM
Yeah, but Cat... 1) I haven't seen finished pics of yours yet either. and 2) he made a tool that makes these... he might be able to produce a few of these for other people where as you had someone make the lights for you... all we can do for you is ooh and ahh...

if it make you feel any better. I noticed you posted about it before 1badcat.

jonnycat
04-18-2002, 07:13 PM
So I'm kissing ass?:rolleyes: Voicing your opinion and attacking someone's business ethics are two entirely different things. Why would I kiss ass? maybe for all the free stuff I'm getting, eh?

As for the "Hypocrite" remark;
For someone who was banned for "Voicing their Opinions" you think you would let others voice their opinions even if you don't agree.

Fake boobs are gross. The girl in your icon looks like a skinny man with mini basketballs implanted. My opinion.

04-18-2002, 09:50 PM
hehe..... you said fake boobs


Well, when you tell someone not to buy or make something just because its not your idea or you dont sell it, I call it BAD business ethics. And yes there are a lot of puckered lips and chapped a$$es around here:rolleyes: I bet if theses individuals were selling these items they would be all for them being made, and thats a fact :disgust:

CATerina
04-18-2002, 09:58 PM
Um if you looked at my pics they are done. One of the pics isnt but that was to show u what they looked like unfinished.

TwistedXzibits
04-18-2002, 10:34 PM
Who cares who made em first?? Obviously people were gonna do this anyways... it was simply a matter of time... Caterina, when u gonna have pics of them installed on your car?? I think its gonna look sweet on your ride!

CATerina
04-19-2002, 12:52 AM
As soon as I get it back from the graphics I will have new pix.

Your Icon that is. ;)

Me too Yakko, but then again most heterosexuals would. In My opinion.

CATerina, can't wait to see pics.

That's what I mean, Caterina... pics of it finished on your car. :)

most heterosexuals would

I think you mean all Heterosexuals would, any males that wouldnt would be considered Homosexual.

If you are insisting that I am gay, you better let my wife know that, Cuz she has no idea.

The point I was trying to make was how I can't stand when women do that to them selves. Despite their size or lack there of, I would much rather see them in an all natural state. Not to mention there are very very few implant jobs that look good after the girls clothes are off. Although they do have new techniques of implanting them (I.E. insert through belly button) the unneeded scar tissue is gross, the shape is gross, etc.. Small size increases can be ok, but when they stretch the skin that much.. It looks like they are pasted on with some super glue.

I'm not saying anyone is gay, "not that there's anything wrong with it", I was just following suit.:) I do agree how lots of boob jobs look terrible, but with clothes on you can pretend that they are perfect natural breasts.

Let's get back to the original topic.

Clear tailights
Which are customizable by the buyer.

Once I see a finished product I will then determine if I will buy them.

I think it's great that 1badcat has the know how and is considering
doing this for us.

I also think that they would sell great and being customizable just adds to it.
It's all about modding.It's all about you.
It's all about making the car yours.
You choose the cougar, you chose your mods.
The car is you rolling doing the street telling people what you're all about.

Yeah I thought we were discussing clear tail lights and who would buy them who gives a f^$% about who would do the icon we all know none of us have a chance anyway and we are all here to support eachother a cougar owners and not slam someone everytime we get a chance, c'mon lets get it together. Oh yeah, lets see some pics of the finished tails and I will probably be interested.

look at caterina's i could put a red piece in their for one of the circles and leave the other one clear and the new lense their is no way for it too have bubbles. in other words i can make it look like rela altezzas almost except the fact that they will be custom. i can do any color, and im waiting on caterina to get me a 3rd brake light and than ill do that. but i can make these tails anyway yous want them i can shave lights completely out of the picture if you wanted me to. i shaved the lil light on the side on cats and it looks way cleaner. but its up too anybody that wants me to make these.
