From Rice to . . . .
 
Well I was bored on Sunday so i decided to do something. I was reading the "Rice to Nice" project: https://www.homemadeturbo.com/tech_projects/taillights/ and i figured why not, I just had the altezzas laying around. They said i was suppose to end up with some new good looking (non-rice) tailights. Well I let u guys go ahead and judge. :6

They were right in the write-up, The first one i did i sprayed way to much and it looked like ----!
I personally kinda like them, its different :8

But here is a picture of what i had b4:

Doesn't look too bad at all. Hard to see what they look like though with just one picture.

Looks good. I take it the clear turn signals are legal there?

personally I would have kept the stockers and just cut polished them.

OEM parts are always best. I cleared my turn signals on the oem taillight (92 prelude)

I took the taillight apart, by putting it in the oven for about 12 minutes at 175 degrees. to melt the glue up a lil. Then CAREFULLY pull them apart. Once you get it off your money. Then you can take whatever, such as light cover and shape it to the size of your turn signal then throw it back in the oven and press it together.
