seriously

add up the cost of the materials;
the altezzas, LEDs, glue, paint ect, basically figure out how much it costs to do that, and then do it for people at 2 or 3 times the price!

start your own Prelude modification company

seriously

you have a niche market
make a little custom shop, sell RSR stuff and JDM fronts and your custom tails

you'll be riiicccchhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

you know that tint stuff you did on the reverse light cover?
what if you sprayed the whole taillight cover with it, give it a smoked out look, very subtle, wouldn't that be even hotter? the LEDs should be bright enough no?

ya i thought about smoking the whole tail section(this is what the spray tint was intended for) but I didnt want to go overboard with the darkening everything look. The LEDs are definitly bright enough though!

the concept of having high quality/gloss paint behind the plastic is the coolest, very IS300 like

(didn't want tu use the word altezza

)

vile10 · 08-31-2002, 11:22 AM

well i had to spread out the work over a long time, because i had the taillights apart forever, but i had to search everywhere for the LEDs. After i found them, i just cruised. total time was probably around 10-12 hrs, but remember that i was making it up as i went(and taking pics/notes for writeup), which makes things really slow...

...what iiifff.....

what if you tinted the red cover over the LED so it doesn't look red until the car is on, know what I mean? if the car is off and you look at it, it'll all appear black, a black disk inside a clear housing, but when you turn on the car, it glows red, and hit the brakes for a bright LED fire
