niccee.. can i get some more closeups to see how smooth the look is.. does it look like a professional light tinting job, i am doing this with my front lights and just dont want it to look too DIY. maybe some pics with the flash off too.. pppp pleasee..

 

well since you said ppp please lol...it does not have the shinyness of the stock part. if i really wanted to keep the shinyness id recommend takin off the stock cover and painting the inside. but i didnt want to screw with it. if your wanting to do your headlights, take them apart to paint the insides that will keep it as smooth and shiny as possible. i saw a guys neon the other day and he said thats what he did (to his tails) and it lookd really good!

ill take pics tonight, post tom morning

 

alright.. ill just reopen the lights back up and do it that way.. still would be the same transparency, im guessing.. right.. it should loook really good that way.. but still post em up so i can see em smile.gif thanx..

 

Yea, your best bet is to do the inside of the lights. As you can see from the pics there is a slight texture to them. granted with wet sanding and more clear you could probably get rid of this but i wasnt that worried. Id like it to be all nice and shiny and smooth but i didnt wanna open up the lense. If you open up the lense you will keep the stock smoothness and the shinyness as well. and the paint wont be screwed up later on due to weather.







Hope those pics worked for ya...

 

thanx alot man.. those look good.. i will be trying this to my headlights sometime next week.. might have to take the car in for a new clutch sad.gif

 

^^Let me know how the lights go because after i did this i was thinkin about doin mine as well, but the insides not out. and good luck with the lights and clutch man

 

I did my tails with nightshades and some autozone clear coat, buffed em and they have been on my car for over a year and a half. Granted my car is garaged kept but its been through lots of rain and snow and still are lookin good.




Take it in? Spend some hours and do it urself. Ive done it a couple times now.

 

if theres an autobacs somewhere near you guys u can just get 50$ tail light covers from a company called gts? I blacked out mine a year ago tongue.gif

 

haha autobacs!!! that place is the shit!!!

Costco for import parts!!!

nveil2r- lucky, u live close by there. u shoudl buy it and sell it out to peeps.

 

i know huh, haha i live exactly 10 min from there. The only problem is, they take FOREVER to get it made and shipped to autobacs, then FOREVER for it to process and get to me haha. but they're clean and its 50$ while kspec's are like what 59? plus its FULL black like limo so thats always a plus lmao.gif
