devobuzz Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 The Leg GT tail lights look too much like a Camry. Do we have any options on using different lenses? The only thing I can come up with is using some black tape/decal to change the appearance of the tail light. Maybe something like the eyebrows used for the front head lights?

PGT Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 At least in VA, the larger of the two covers would not be legal as it 'covers' part of the brake light. This seems silly, but something to keep in mind before you sink the money for a JDM product that may get you an expensive ticket. (Even stuff the dealers sell here in the US fall in that categaory.....like MOPAR tailight guards for my Jeep.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fan42025 Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 I'd be more interested in converting them to LEDs. I'm sure there would be a market for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 One of my friends was with me one time, and I had my car parked in a parking ramp. We were walking in the ramp to find my car again, and he walks up to a new red Camry that was parked in the ramp. I give him a weird look and ask, "What are you doing?". He looks at me weird and says, "This isn't your car?" I told him, "No that's a Camry, but I understand. Our tail lights are very similar." :lol: -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFGR415 Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 I would totally want LEDS....maybe something similar to what G35's look like except that they would be in the shape of the LGT. So if you can imagine, a chrome bezel with many led's in it and a red painted lexan cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAP Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 I think the reflector has to be red by law, but I'd rather have the rest of it clear including the LEDs. Red when on, clear when off. I'd also like the blinker LEDs to be yellow or orange. I HATE red blinkers. Especially the ones that double as break lights. One burns out, and you don't know if they are turing or stopping.

PGT Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 [quote name='jedimaster']Woulda been damn cool though.[/QUOTE] Well, I got to sample something similar. One of the AOL guys had an LTD with a big block Ford race motor in it. The car was beige with a vinyl roof (BARF!). He had Wilwood 6 pistons on it and a nasty straight pipe exhaust. Talk about a sleeper car. That thing was ridiculous! He built it just for fun (and he had all the $$ to burn from stock options back in the day) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fan42025 Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Funny that, I always had the opinion the new Legacy had a more plain look than most other new cars, such as the Mazda 6 and Honda Accord Euro. Actually, I feel the new Legacy look, although very nice, is not that great IMHO. OK, please don't hate me. I own a new GT and love it. However, the reason I bought it is for it's performance and handling for a reasonable cost, not so much the looks. Personally, the new Mazda and Honda Accord Euros look better inside and out (although I prefer the GT dash). At the end of the day the GT is a nice looking car from many angles but not all, and they could have done it better, more agrressive and modern look. I'm not car designer but I think I could have done a better job based on other cars (BMW, Audi, Merc, Mazda, Honda, etc.). Anyway, there's not much we can do about it except hope future Legacy models do have some more nicer touches to it, such as HID, LED lights, built-in reflectors in the bumper bars, etc., similar to the new BMW's. There's plenty of potential for improvement as the basic shape is very good. Oh, BTW, I've heard a few people say they have confused the sides of the new BMW M5 with that of the Camry!! After watching a few go by recently I actually agree. [quote name='Bob N']Wow! What a slap in the face! I have always thought the Camry was one of the most vanilla cars on the market.
