i just got hit by a grampa... and i was in the rush to go to calss... so now i have to get some body work on the ass end of my car.... are there any conversion that have been done to make the 700's look nice in the back???? if so post pics... i am aware of the euro tails, which i planned on getting eventually... but is there any other way to style the ass end of a 700? please post pics if u have any of restlyed 700's (and i do not mean bumpers)

by euro you mean the clear tails?
there are people covert 'em to s90/960/940 rear end.

or you could throw on 90+ taillights...that'd be cool
the 940/60/s90 conversion would be a bit tough, as i know the trunks are differnt, the bumpers, the rear 1/4 panels, taillights, yadda yadda, but if you have the money for it, do it man! it would be unique certainly

I want to find HOVA clear 760s.
I saw one pair on TPC, but can't find 'em anywhere.

I can't find 'em on TPC, its either in photo/film or project section.
just imagine like my tailights, except 760's dimension.

760 tails are wider than the regular 90+ 740 tails; a nice upgrade. A decor panel with the 90+ 740 tails is also nice (I have this setup).

rip it off, looks 100x better, either that or paint the tailights so it looks all one color.

Nah, I disagree; I still like the panel. Very few have it (although 740s in decent condition are becoming scarce anyway...).

Line the trunk with metal and turn it into a short El-Camino style 4-door pick-up!

Alternatively - cut the entire trunk off just behind the rear arches, and turn it into a hatchback!

so where would the subs go.... would be my next thing to do after tires for my cool dubs and kicker ss comps... but this grampa that hit my car may have changed the order of operations

chigga style ones would only cost like 300 i think after shipping.... so yeah that would be cool.. the only thing is i would want to replace the bulbs with leds that are lined up... that would be awesome.
