Taillight Overlays...

[turboale]

Hello everyone,I'm new here and to my m (I have only had it about a week) but I (as usual) have the modding bug will be doing some things to the M in the next couple months to set it apart. Right now the first thing on the list is some tail light overlays. My biggest complaint about the M's exterior is the size of the tail lights. I think they overpower the rear and while the LEDs are sweet, look gigantic. I have always been a fan of the blacked out look, it might not be the most unique look out there but I think it looks great on the M, so I'm going to go with it. I don't know if anyone reads g35Driver at all but there is a guy on there that has been making overlays for Gs for years and he is finally getting his hands on an M and will be making some overlays for our cars. If you want to see some of his work/prices etc his website is BlueBatmobile.net.

I like the idea of overlays b/c you can easily remove them and go with something else or back to stock if you choose and you won't be out a set of tail lights if you paint instead. Anyway, I have been talking with Andy, the guy who is going to be making them and he is gauging interest. I will hopefully have the first set in my hands next week and will be getting some actual pictures up asap. Anyone interested in a set? Have any input on style?

Here are some photoshops I did... I'm going to go with the "clears" only look.

Here are some other options we are considering...

If you have any suggestions or requests on what cut you think you might want feel free to post up and I'll do a p-shop of it and we can probably get it done for you.
