I'm always a sucker for cheap ways to make your car look a bit nicer =]

Now I'm going to find the cheapest/best way to tint the tail lights.

Yellow Foggy's match your red. Yellow would have clashed with mine so i went with the $20 Pro burners @ Auto Zone hehe

Yeah thats what my way of thinking is like! lol so far i have a home depot lip, like 20 dollars worth of carpeting to redo the floor, duplicolor sprayed interior, Cherry red hobby spray to tint amber of the taillights, a "ZERO" shirt to make a new shift boot and now this! Im on a roll!

I would recommend some hobby spray tint to smoke your tails too! I just made sure that i sprayed some gloss over the red on mine to make it a little glossier. It turned out real good.

wow i just noticed that im really cheap... all well! Its worth it right?

Well they might have a similarities but they differ alot from eachother. CDRL's dont have a grill across the front, there not yellow, and there not as fun to do imo.

I don't like the piggy OEM. Looks fugly.

I DO like the $20 mod on Chuki. But I can't do it. My CAI takes in air directly behind the driver side grill.

I'm planning for a mod like the Mitsubishi GTO.

Dude, get that horrible car off of NICO. The 3000gt/GTO has to be the most horrific car ever.

Why? Because it copied the chuki shark-nose and became a whale-shark instead?

Looks like an RX7 and a Firebird/Camaro had a baby.

And stole a wing off an airplane.

I was only talking about it's appearance. Sure, if it were given to me I'd accept the keys. But, I wouldn't fork out the money to buy one.

This is my car, and I spent $7.50 to fabricate this. It's not wired or anything. This project is kinda on hold for now. BTW, I made this for DRL rather than fog light.



Originally, I started with a small light, but didn't like the size, so moved to bigger one.

I spliced mine into the corner light/ turn signal.

But, you can wire them up to a switch so you can turn them on and off with the flick of a switch.

Sorry to threadjack, but I have an s14 base and it had the foglight switch, and relay. How can I wire the foglights to work with something like the cornerlights on? I think it would look something like this. Is it right?
