Aftermarket Tail Lights

[TIEfighter]

I tried searching for previous posts about tail lights but all I could find was people who 'smoked' out their tail lights but nothing about aftermarket ones. Are there any Sonic 4 door sedan aftermarket tail lights out yet? They are sometimes reffereed to as 'Euro Style' lights.

I haven't seen anything like that for the Sonic yet. I am leaning towards smoking the tails and the front turn signals.

Dude. Please dont. The clear "altezza" "euro-style" aka RICER taillights will ruin the look of this car!

I keep searching for the european Aveo taillights, but after many trips to the dealer looking through the parts screens have not been able to find the part numbers yet.

Here is a picture of the european taillights. The main difference is that they do not have the clear side marker and also they are a satin plastic instead of the sparkly plastic that the Sonic comes with.

I'm not talking specifically about clear tail lights that you see on ricers. I am hoping that eventually the aftermarket will make hatchback lights that will work for the Sonic. I really like the look of the hatchback tail lights but they aren't the same as the sedan version. So basically I'm hoping that somebody in the aftermarket will make sedan tail lights that look very similar to the hatchback. I don't think that means they are 'ricer' tail lights because that means that every Sonic hatchback owner has 'ricer' tail lights which I don't believe would be a good representation of our vehicles rep.

Personally I think the sedan tails look great. Maybe you could try something like someone on here did and do a star design in the smoked out tails to make them stand out...

Hee i can ask at the dealer but the cost arround 350 euro the side thats arround 700 euro for 2 :sadbanana:

Thats a lot of dollars i can watch for you when somebody has total his sonic for spare parts

 

[Ferdie]

Also i think the black is the same

But when you order some in europa you can buy with chroom rings or without chrome

And the europa taillights have also a fog light in the left taillights and we have only 1rear drive light

You guys have 2 rear drive lights

So this is all info

Thanks Feride, you don't have to look out for them over in Europe. I'll just wait until some aftermarket taillights are released here in the US.

Do you take your pictures with a potato?

But looks good, I'm planning on doing mine kinda soon.
I won't be going that dark over the whole thing, I will be leaving the reverse clear, maybe one coat, and only doing 1 or 2 coats over the turn signal.

iPhone 4S.....could've had better pictures but it was dark and I was exhausted....I only used 2 coats. They were prolly a little heavier than average though. Used the rustoleum stuff from auto zone.
