hey MazdaManiacMx3 thats a nice colour
i was thinking of doing a bright colour like candy apple
the only issue i have with the white i have now is the maintenance
i find myself cleaning it everyday to bring the pearly look out
but sumtimes the car still looks kinda plain when the sun isnt out

Thanks , yeah its just the camera angle I guess , Its a coppery orange into a bright darker orange ,
The great thing about orange is even when its dirty it still looks the same color , just not shiny

Heres 2 more pics , don't mind the missing accessories

And heres my SE in HOK Silverwhite pearl , Looks white at night and silver in the day
Oh and my old Daytona blue(350z blue) Subaru in the backround

True true, but at this point I'm so tired of working on the car lol. I'm just going to enjoy it for now. And plus I'm a bit concerned about visibility during the day for my brake lights, so having the stock third brake light ensures I keep some visibility. (I never drive behind myself so I have no idea how visible my LED tails are lol).
right urbanconcept ur the one wit the Grabber Orange MX3
yeh ive seen pics of it, nicely done tails
prob took alot of time to get them looking that perfect
i was gonna try doing sumthin like that but it would take so much patience and skill not to mention $$$

arent the LEDs brighter then stock bulbs?
mine used to be a streetglow LED that i had in my car mounted on the roof
it pulsed to the bass but i got tierd of it so i converted it to a third brake light lol

The expense really wasn't that bad. For $60 I bought the two oval shaped break lights, and the marker lights were maybe $5.99 each at most. Overall the biggest expense was time! lol. To answer your question about light output, my LED tails are wayyyyy brighter than stock. I press the break and light up street signs 3 blocks away lol. I'm thinking of making another set of LED tails. All I need is a clear lense from a set of Altezza's. I just can't be bothered to buy Altezza's just to take them apart. If someone on this board were to sell them to me cheap, and preferrably locally, I would start my new LED project.

I've got a set of Altezzas with a little bit of damage that I'm willing to sell really cheap. The problem is the driver's side brake lens (solid red, innermost circle) is a bit melted near the top. As a result, it caved in a little bit and looks foggy. If you wouldn't be using that part, I'd be willing to sell them to you for like... $40 including the shipping (I don't want them on my car, otherwise I'd just replace the lens myself).

If that's the part you need though, well... They'll just stay in the garage! :P

those would rock! I've seen alot of altezzas start to use LED's but I doubt the mx-3 altezzas will get the upgrade
