Lightbox question

[Greywolf74]

I recently bought a Nissan Silvia body and it came with a light box. I'm assuming it has something to do with mounting LEDs but I have no idea exactly what I'm supposed to do with it. Anyone throw me a line here?

Nevermind....Here in the US its apparently called a light bucket and I think I got a rough idea of how to use it when I made the connection and started googling light bucket instead of light box

Ok, they are calling this piece a lightbox and I believe after looking at a bunch of light buckets this isnt a light bucket. I jumped to conclusions earlier because the first picture I saw when I googled light bucket looked kinda sort of similar to this but most of the rest didnt....I just took a bunch of pics from every angle i think of that may help. It appears to be some kind of bumper that you have to attach to the body. If you look at the trim lines on the body they are very high in the back and looks like if you cut out the other section it would fit right in there somehow. How you attach it and make it look good and be durable is beyond me though if that is indeed what it is. Here is the link to my Facebook album with all the Silvia pics in it. Thanks in advance for any input anyone has on this.

LOL, I'm assuming since no one had any input on this its because you dont have FB accounts so I'll post the pics here. I emailed the company I bought it from (out of hong kong) and they replied with "Its an RC body" lol It seems to be for the back end of the car but I have no idea exactly how to use it.

Is it a front and rear body kit? S15s are so nice, I wanted one bad while I was in Japan. My buddy had one and his wife smashed the rear into the side of a mountain while drifting.

I'm not sure what you mean by a front and rear body kit Schroe. I have the whole body plus what appears to be maybe a light bucket or something for the back end of the kit and then I have a little package that came with the body that basically has 2 different spoilers, the spoiler mounts, and some rear view mirrors.

its a front and rear body kit... look at the body lines on the side of the car and look how high the rear bumper is compared to that.. need to trim and fit carefully... not sure how they are mounted but sure one of the other members will chime in

Look at the bumpers in the pictures, a body kit is pretty much replacement bumpers and side skirts.

Ahhhhhhh ok.....I'm starting to see now I think.....So the extra piece actually has a different front and rear bumper that make the kit look more race like! Do you have any idea how they attach to the body?

From what I am seeing in the pictures, yes.

Do you have any idea how they attach to the body?

??? You got me there, I'd have to assume CA. Shoe Goo may be better though, it flexes some. I honestly have no idea though, I've never really messed with bodies.
