Tinted Tails and Some Pictures (56K ehh)

Bryan · 04-03-2007, 03:59 PM

Tinted my tails yesterday. I love it..I wasn't looking for the completely blacked out look but should go a little darker?

And some random pics:

I'm pretty happy with how the overall looks turned out. I'm lowering it on Eibachs this weekend and that'll complete the appearance. Considering I'm going to college soon I probably won't be doing much more but learning to detail.

I would still want people to be able to tell when I had my brakes on.... people are morons so I like to take precautions like that.

Lights look good, still not a fan of stock tails.. but everyone likes different things. I might have to get some of that for my TYC's.

Where'd you pick it up at? thanks.

You can only buy it online. Usually on ebay its the cheapest.

Thats about what level tint my tails are at but spray some clear on there.

Looks good on white!!

See how shiny mine are?

Bryan · 04-03-2007, 05:35 PM

TYCs would probably look pretty badass tinted. I got it on eBay but I've also heard Summit has it.

I actually put some clear on. I had about 1/8 of a can of clear so I worked with what I had plus there was a light breeze and that didn't help. I'll probably get some more on there soon. Yours do look really good man.

Awesome, thanks. I will have to ponder over it for awhile, as Im not sure I want to do something to my tails like that. I love them the way they are... but man, I bet they would be pretty sweet tinted.

nightshades FTL... looks good, but needs a clear coat.

Tomorrow = more clear. What's bad about Nightshades?

bballr4567 · 04-03-2007, 06:26 PM

Yea I put about 7-8 coats of clear on.

pyro · 04-04-2007, 07:37 AM

i had 4 coats of clear on mine, looked pimp.
niteshades > film tint any day of the week. (minus the taking it back off factor)

KeyserSosa2000 · 04-04-2007, 08:09 AM

I can't read the tire, are those 18s? and what tire size are those? From the pics you took the car doesn't even look like it needs to be lowered. If I get rims this summer I'm not lowering my car so I'm interested in your set up.

I like the look of the car, really like it. The red brakes look nice peeking out through the black rims.

Thanks.

The size is 225/40/18 and I secretly take pictures from the highest angle I can so it doesn't look like it needs to be lowered.

When I take pictures at level height it looks awkward.
