A friend was mine was gettin bored at his work, so he decided to do something special to my tail lights. He didnt clear em or anything, i like the amber on em. He just cleaned them and did something to em. they feel so smooth, like there is some kinda of a dark film on them, and they got buffed. Bottom line, he does not wanna tell me what it is but he did it, and it is sooooo Slick in person. the pics are ok, but damn, i love my tails.

Here are a few shots of my stock tails as they used to be

That should give an idea

now check out how they look now !!!!

damnnnn i can see myself in em like a mirror

and the reflection of my stock wheels agains the wall

Now you can tell the difference when the parking lights are on, see how the turning signals and the backin like housing is dark !!! i love it, and its real slick !! i washed the car today. Its mad slick with the tails...

random pic on my drive way...

looks really nice

Si_g · 03-20-2004, 07:18 PM

yea i think thats what he did too. musta been some kinda of a mixture to bring that smoked look to it. i might get him to do it a bit darker, dont kno how much it will cost, but we ll see.

lol, ditto. Nice, I notice a difference definitely, but it's not too dark, which might look funny on a white car, like those GTO headlight covers. PS, I like the white 'H' badge, I thought about getting a red one, but white looks pretty good.

yea that white emblem is nice, i baught em 2 years ago. now i m debatin on puttin a black one on there when i paint my lips black. but yea, he said he didnt do it too dark cause cops can pull you over for tails being too dark and such. it looks so nice right now anyway.

here is a pic i took earlier tonight in daytona beach (spring break wooo, tuner bash and such)

Well if you want some black emblems I'll sale some to you for damn cheap. I don't want any on my car so you can have the ones I was GOING to put on. PM if you want them. Dirt Cheap!

brendon2k · 03-21-2004, 12:19 PM

Wow. That looks so nice I am tempted to try something like that.

yohan420 · 03-21-2004, 04:02 PM
