The shelbys actually used those Cougar lights

wreckedj30

yeah, either way, but the shely's were blacked out and the cougars were chrome, maybe opposites, don't remember...anyways. And i think shelby's were out first, no, w/e.

jfairladyz

They were on the cougars first. Then shelby borrowed them to fit onto the 67-68 Shelbys along with a different rear panel and a decklid with an incorporated spoiler.

ahh, makes since, check that engine swap thread for some parts, if ya haven't already seen it. hmm, what do you all think of vette lights, maybe mustang?

jfairladyz

someone posted up some pics of a 280ZX with the previous generation of Mustang taillights (99-04/5???). It actually looked really I good I thought. It was a white ZX. In fact, if memory serves me correct, it was 007 that posted those pics/link

wreckedj30

hmm, the older ones wraped around the corner of the stang, i haven't seen any flat one's so i wonder how much mods. it woul dtake...and heat rave has the vette lights i do believe...looking nice.

wreckedj30

damn them are pretty badd. kind of look turned a little to look like eyes, i like them...and might do that, anyone have opinions, im kind of leaning to vette' light still.

jfairladyz

wreckedj30

yo j, i'm gonna snap some picts of them parts so don't vanish like you do..hold on a minute. ok the strut bar helped out a bunch on the focus...oh and i hope hers is a hatch back.

skittle

Who Me? Or J?

wreckedj30

j, my bad...wait i said j.

jfairladyz

I show my wife and see what she says. She's been talking about getting those taillights since she bought the damn thing. And yeah, its a hatch A BRIGHT red ZX3

Since we're talking about taillights this isn't thread jacking right?

wreckedj30

noo, at least i don't think so, oo7 hasn't been here to reply on it anyways so well just call it keeping the thread alive. The strut bar helped a buch while every day driving as well as drifting a fwd. And the pads are brand new, so just let me no whats up. Night y'all.

I've got a friend out here that used a set of tail lights out of an 80's trans am in his 280zx...

looked damn good!

skittle

i saw pics of a zx with thunderbird turbo coupe lights in it.

007max

Got any pics of that?

007max

I love how these look but it would take a ton of work to get them in there. As you can see the whole rear panel has been reworked to be "flush" with the rest of the rear and the lisence plate is "frenched" in.

The reason i like the round taillight swap so much is that I will only have to fab up 2 pieces to cover up the holes where the original lights were and then bolt the new ones right onto there. Cant get much easier than that...

007max

These wouldn't look too bad if it wasn't for the stupid backup light... (for the new mustang)

I personally can't stand those Mustang tail lights on that 280zx. I totally give props to the guy that did it (I think he's a HybridZ'er?), because he's got some skill, but it looks like a bug-eyed alien. Those lights are way too big for the back panel.... which looks like it's 2 inches thick with bondo.

I know some people just want a different look, but I love the 280zx tail lights, especially the 79-81 simple style.

wreckedj30

see i like the s30's lights, but not so much the s130's. yeah they do look like eyes though, i was thinking the old mustang taillights, 65ish...oh and i like those oo7, how much were they.
