I did the clear tailz mod on my with my GT lights and they are a pain to deal with. I need to get some like yours. Right on dude!!:thumbs:

Do you really want to know how much they are?? LOL, I will just say they are from ***, the wonderful people that made the body kit

The tails look awesome, as does the rest of the car. Nice Work! And I agree, the charcoal does go nicely with the rest of the vehicle.

Those look good, those look really good, those look really really good. I wish i had some nice tail lights, I just dont feel like spending 400 bucks on them. GT lights will do me just fine, do you still have your stock GT lights?

GTfreak
12-08-2002, 01:05 PM
Yea I still have the stock ones, but there are two cracks at the bottom of the left lens and on the right one the rubber gasket is torn. So they have had some abuse.

...now those look much better with the lens covers on... i didn't like the ones i've seen that didn't have the clear lenses on... and how long did you have to wait to get them???

GTfreak

It took 3 months from when I paid for them. But that was then they were being hand crafted, now they are doing alot at one time, I guess more help or someone else doing the mold. But it wont take as long.

I must say, before I did not like those tails. But they are starting to grow on me. Very nice! You know what would probably look really cool? To match the l.e.d.'s style, get a 3rd brakelight l.e.d. over lay. I know you have a grand am gt one right now. I'll bet that would look sweet though.

Had I made those brake lights, I think I woulda just made solid circles to match the white back up light shape, then put those do it yourself angel eyes around the circles.

GTfreak
12-08-2002, 01:23 PM
Yea I was thinkin of the angel eye thing but Im not sure yet. And an LED third brake light is coming soon from ***, you can see it on the pics someone posted of the BettyRacer the V8 grand am

Those look Sweet. I must have. Are the available for sale on the *** site?

GTfreak
12-08-2002, 01:53 PM
Yea if you look to the left of the main screen it should have a listing for *** store and tailz should be listed....just mention GTFreak, hopefully you shouldnt have any problems.

Those look really really good, I like how you left them that dark grey color!! Very nice!! When did u get that "new" spoiler (new to me cuz I remember awhile ago when u had that touring spoiler)

GTfreak
12-08-2002, 04:40 PM
Thanks, I got the spoiler during the summer, sold my old one to a fellow GAGT member.

yep, *** will be releasing the led third brake light. I'm up for that if the price isn't unbelievably high. It looks good from the pics I saw of the v8 grand am.

...GTFreak... did the plastic clear lens come with these lights??? ...***'s site doesn't say whether you get them or not...

GTfreak
12-08-2002, 10:02 PM
Oh yea its part of the kit, you have to silicone it yourself, that way you can do what you want with plastic mold that the lights sit in. I guess some prefer not to have it on, but it is included.

you got the $400 tailz right? Whats the difference between the $400 and $500 tailz? It looks good.

GrandAmSC/T

the 500 dollar ones have a bullseye blinker or something.

those look awesome!

GTfreak
12-09-2002, 06:16 AM
Thanks, Yea the difference is the bulls-eye blinker, the outside one is the same shape and all but it looks like a flower blossoming when it flashes, no just on/off, it starts with the center LED then the next row and next all the way to the outside row. Hard to describe.

hey bud-

Looks dope as always!! Like the new wing too!! oversized pontiac sticker is tight too...man I could go on and on....anyways I notice a small gap between the lights and the trunk is it just a funny pic or is there a small gap?

I know what you are talking about. I saw the video they had up. Ah, so that is the difference.

That look pretty damn good, just too much for my blood. The wife would kill me.

looks great! that is probably the best combination ive seen with the *** tails (silver/charcoal). i would love to get a set just like that. nice job on the car as well. you cant go wrong with silver and great choice on the spoiler :thumbs:

GTfreak

Thanks alot onthe compliments, the taillights actually come that color, so i was lucky i didnt have to do anything.

:) Lookin' Good. I didn't think I liked these tails at first but I must say that the contrast between the housing and the silver looks really good. :thumbs:

did you wrap them in real CF or is that vinyl? That is what I was gonna do, but Len wouldnt do it for me. LOL

GTfreak
01-13-2003, 11:51 PM
Yea it was a huge pain, it is vinyl, the good thing about carbon fiber vinyl is it hides the cuts and splices pretty well. I still want to do the chrome dip but i dont know how much the plastic can withhold

grandGTR
01-14-2003, 07:58 PM
Very coool!! Man that and the chrome looks very good. You ought to just keep them carbon.

I can imagine the pain it was to streatch that vinyl like that. I hope you used a good heat gun (or hair drying) makes it easier....
