Thanks for the interest. I could would do a set for $200, only because the time involved. You could do it yourself it's easy after all the masking is done.

I have told so many people about this post, still one of the coolest things I have seen on this forum. If I would have not just bought a set tail lights for my car I would so do this.

I'm still getting my casr together so I'm not sure yet. I have been talking to one of my friends about using the same clear on the car to protect them but I'm not sure if it will work. The clear for cars may be too strong to cover th spray paint. You could use the same method with candy car paint and I'm sure it would last for a while.

Yeah, nice work man.

It's similar to the process of getting rid of that ugly yellow blinker on the coupe that I did. I used transparent red and they have not faded so far but it's only been a couple months.

That is how I did mine a few months ago, but I made the reverse lights a little differently. It is all about how much time you want to put into it, as to how good it will look.

No you didn't you just put a r32 spoiler on a s13... Oh OK.. Let it go Neil. We all love our cars with custom mods be it real or cheesy. You should cool off with some H8eraid!

Another swing and a miss. Let's look at the facts:

*3" tip, while you claim to be bone stock *rice much?* *Way to burn us on a tailight mod, but your spoiler, that's not a joke? I'm laughing. *Your bone stock car, that's suspension too right? So how many pics did your friend have to sit there and take before it looked like you pulled a drift?

Face it, you're a JDMTyte Poser. So you have no more right to insult us, than we do to you. But retribution is a *****, isn't it?
