All Red Tailight Mod

[Adnan]

This should be the 1st mod on the pathfinder....what im doing is cleaning the back end look a bit and i'm using sheets of transparent red vinyl





these are some trial shots i've taken...i was a bit skeptical about doing itbut i've seen great results on other forums....ill post pics when its all

I did it to my J30. you can see it on my cardomain. I used testors candy apple red transparent enamel from the hobbby store. I think 4 coats.

thats going to look really good! More like the 01+ qx4. Update us with the results when you get a chance. Are you going to get a clear bulb for inside? I think amber would look corny with a red lens, simple $2 fix

LOl im not even sure thats the real stuff...i found this candy wrapper material in chinatown...a huge 1meter x1 meter sheet for roughly 2 bucks...i've tried 1 sheet and it came out nicely..it lights up red too

i finished the left side today...i had to work against the sun the minute i walk way it dries up[IMG][/IMG]

looks much better and smoother in personand i advice anyone to manipule the vinyl gently once you appy itit rips off at a certain point

Sorry Bud, but I think it looks like poopy... But that's my opinion, I like the look of the stock tailight better, looks luxurious, kinda...

But hey, like my Uncle Chester always said, "What ever tickles your pants, do it!"

I don't have an Uncle Chester... And I'm sure if I did he wouldn't say something like that, but you get what I'm saying.

meh everyone is titled to their own opinion...i just wanted something to smoothen the body

this spring im gonna tackle the black plastic door handlesand fog light cover

hey it looks pretty good id say. What matters is that you like it, youll always get criticism. I got some criticism over my euro taillights but also alot of compliments, everyones taste is different and thats why we personalize our cars...we do what WE like!

wow to me those lights changed the look of the pathfinder alot. it looks good though

[ReKleineR]

I guess if you sprayed it and it matched the color of the brake light then it would look real nice, I just dont like half *** mods. And I like everything to look mostly clean and stock. Thats why I swapped my se grill for an le grill.

the turn signals light up red...no rainbow color herethe only problem (from the pics) is the wrinkles caused the sun i retouched some more later that afternoon and it looks very smoothmy dad couldnt even peel it off

i first planned on spraying it...but i a was a bit concerned about the finishseveral friends of mine tried using the same product and got different results...this was a easier and reversable atlernative

my only concern now is sub zero temperatures

[Qxxx4]

it looks like a rounder cadillac escalade light if u look at it closely

Is the clear part of the lens still exposed because it'll look really janky if it is. Have you thought about getting new corners? I've seen lots of those on here and some of them aren't half bad.

LOL! no those are to show how well the vinyl blended with the rest of the taillight
