I love these, too bad he's not making them anymore. I would pay good money for this conversion.

I have always been more partial to this design:
It seems it would also be far easier to produce?
Maybe we should contact jdnsx and make him an offer he cannot refuse 
hehe...

I have contact info for a shop that does similar work for Mr2... I sent them a picture, and they said this kind of retrofit should be very easy, using pre-fabbed led panels. It has not been a priority, I am trying to get a large quantity of nsx-r spoilers made, but perhaps in a few months, if there is interest, I can get a few sets made up.
I think this type of design is more visually appealing than a large rectangle panel, it eliminates the concern over corner lights, and if its easier (and therefore less expensive) that provides all the more reason to investigate further.
I think the hardest part is not the led panels, it's ripping apart the taillights without cracking them. I did my rear center piece in hot water a few years ago, ended up with many many hair line cracks inside. :frown:
I wanted to do led taillights for years, but clearcorners are just way too costly to justify.

The problem is when you actually see them in person {I saw Matt337's} you start thinking, yes it's worth it.
Hey man. Lemme know if you wanna give it a shot or if you'd prefer to lemme try, as I may know someone who can do it. But def. not trying to step on anyone's toes

Henry, wanna give scorp965 a chance to respond first, since he was the first to offer to look into it
By all means, ask your vendor what his price is; perhaps we can compare estimates once you obtain a quote.
hey y'all..
i am very interested with LED taillights.. im hoping to get good feedback..

likewise. would like to learn/see more.
Those are awesome.
Hello all,
Those were the second protos made by Mr. Yamamoto and being "advertised" on Yahoo!Japan. It is a great way for local owners to know what's available by just typing NSX and then looking through some vendor sales. We have been selling them but the price starts at about 60,000 Yen. They are essentially a one off using your core and being hand done by Mr. Yamamoto. He's doing mine I just don't know if I will want to keep the old school ones or upgrade to the '02 style.
Check with Ravi on pricing, he might be placing an order with us soon. But again, the core is needed or you have to add the price of a new set of lights onto the labor!
Happy Holidays and I sure wish HONDA would send me my new headlight balasts for Xmas...:frown:

The prices have nothing to do with the current dollar exchange or anything near related to that.The problem with prices here is pure labeling.For example lets say aero products.For NSX your paying on average of $1,000 and up for a pair of "good" side skirts,some of them even being replicas.While on s2k forum you can get AUTHENTIC japanese name brand skirts for half that price.Trust me they are using the same fiberglass,etc.They just figure NSX owners have more $ to spend on parts,it being a "higher end" vehicle so their goes the prices.I mean I really doubt a Corolla,Civic,etc owners would pay $2k to get their tails turned into LEDs.You can deny it all you want but its sadly true.Damn Japanese! There they go making everything better and cheaper. Gotta say I like that design way better than the clearcorners rear tail lights. If the dollar is on a 13 year low against the yen how is it they can do this for so much less
Now thats the problem with pricing on here if you ask me.
Another example would be engine stuff.Lets just say a turbokit.They hit for about $15k for nsx! I couldnt stop laughing when I saw that the 1st time.I have many resources here in town.I pieced together all of my s2ks turbo kit with the highest of everything,custom tubular manifold,gt35r,tial everything,aem ems,the whole works.And even then I still spent like half of that $15k if not more.Using pretty much the same components as a kit on here,not gonna say their name but they dont have a good rep on s2k forum.
Sounds Good to me!!
if you figure USD $600-700 for the work, and even with purchasing a new set of lights, ... you're still going to come in $$$ Under what CC's is charging now!

I will be sending over a few sets of my own to Japan in the next couple of weeks for the conversion at GT DESIGN. If anyone is interested to have their lights converted I can facilitate. DJ thanks for the referral.
Dollar/Yen conversion is pretty good right now
Thanks
