DavyZ Posted June 24, 2001 Share Posted June 24, 2001 I have seen round tail-lights for sale at Arizona Z Car. Only, I would strongly encourage you to look elsewhere to find them. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMGK Posted June 24, 2001 Share Posted June 24, 2001 Like that? Jim Biondo did those. I like the gills behind the front wheels too. Flush glass, nice spoiler. Nice car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mtj71Z Posted June 24, 2001 Share Posted June 24, 2001 nah, not like that pic. they are 4 seperate lights. i saw it on a grey zcar. looks sort of like an old corvette tail light section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted June 25, 2001 Share Posted June 25, 2001 Aren't those Corvette ZR-1 tail lights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted June 25, 2001 Share Posted June 25, 2001 Hmm.. I think the ZR-1 tail lights are four seperate squares... They do look kinda like the Callaway tail lights though.. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMGK Posted June 25, 2001 Share Posted June 25, 2001 Goto John's WEB site - he's got a brief write up on the mods including the tailights if memory serves. I dunno' - I kind of like the stock look but owuld liek to modify the markers and such... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted June 25, 2001 Share Posted June 25, 2001 Oops. If you go to the link to Jim Biondo's car on the main HybridZ page, you'll see that they are : "The taillights are Callaway Vette in custom housings" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPMS Posted June 25, 2001 Share Posted June 25, 2001 I've never seen a modification kit to change the tail panel, but looking at how its all put together, it doesn't look like it would be all that difficult to do a custom install. The hardest part (for me, anyway) would be frenching in the light buckets. I've thought about doing this to my Z, but I don't have the talent necessary to fabricate something like that.

Guest mtj71Z Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 nah, like these. were they made or bought? if so where can i buy some? if not where did they come from? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 I'm almost 100% sure those were made. The lights you can get from a trailer or truck parts place; even JC Whitney would have them for sale. The old rear Datsun panel was taken out (get those rivets out!) along with the tail lights, and a fiberglass or sheetmetal piece was fabbed to fit in the rear of the car. Holes were drilled for the new generic (but good looking) tail lights, they were all mounted and voila! A whole new look with not much time or energy. The Arizona Z car website has a "roadrace" tail section that incorporates round tail lights, but it is expensive. You can fab this yourself fairly easily if you take your time.

Guest Anonymous Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 I believe the C4 vette had the round lenses if memory serves before the squared Z1 type lenses became the norm. Probably could get those at your local dealer (ouch!!!!!!) or maybe a dismantler. Regards, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
