Mchedaddi, hey man, I am working with Andy (bluebatmobile) to create a new GT-R style taillight overlay for the A/C... and I need you to do some magic for me... here's a rear shot of the Altima coupe.



Can you take this, and black out the tail light, and then add

1. diagonal red stripes for the turn signal, a red circle with a black center for the brake lamp, and keep the reverse lamp clear

2. Diagonal red stripes for the turn signal, red circle LED openings for the brake lamp, and keep the reverse lamp clear

3. Red circle LED openings for the turn signal, A giant red circle with a black circle in the center for the brake lamp, and keep the reverse lamp clear.

Look at this picture for an idea of where to start.



Sorry man, I would try to do this myself, but my photoshop skills are subpar!

Thanks a million my man!

yeah, but luckily I'm here in San Diego, and Andy's installer is here also, and he's done about... umm, maybe 100 or so of these, he's pretty darn good at it too!

Will an average tint shop guy have any problem with installing this?

LOL, umm, yeah! I know a number of tint guys that won't even touch it. The process is not the same as tinting! The curves on our taillight are a B.I.T.C.H.

Nice work. I'm pretty sure these aren't see through though. Can you do the same straight black?

Hey RJM - Do you have a picture of the Altima with the tail and brake lights lit? Or are you planning on not working with the original Altima light signature?
