r33 tail lights?

Why?... Because it's different and not what you're used to? If you saw that back end on a new Honda and it wasn't called a Prelude, would you not think it looked good? Just stare at it for a while and imagine

For you slightly more narrow-minded members, try it in another slightly less lude-recognised colour

...

Apologies, my photoshop resources aren't all that here

Still not into it, sorry. Just doesn't look right. Too much curvyness on the car, and not enough curvyness on the lights I think, just makes me dislike it.

The original lights are as "un-curvy" as you can possibly get!... Honda literally scribed a straight line across the bodywork and said "Right... That'll be the light there then"

They do follow the outer bum curve of the 4G though!

No.. simply because it doesn't suit back of the car.. would look good on a 5th cause it suits the lines... not narrow minded at all

I didn't want to have to show you this!... But remove the lights in question and the number plate location from a 4th and a 5th gen Prelude and ignoring the difference in depth of the boots, there really isn't much difference...

Compare the bumper styles to that of a DC5 Teg and again there isn't a great deal of difference. It's the number plate location that has the biggest effect. The Teg obviously has the built in spoiler as well.

Oh and I was joking about the narrow-minded bit

It's all obviously personal preference at the end of it and the way you see things different.

... I just see things better

lol

Yes - point taken, that's much less offensive to my brain ...
