hey whats up not sure if anyone has done this but i tried it. i have to redo in the spring cuz i bought black paint but it came out more navy blueish so im getting a second trunk to do it again but i like it tell me what ya think please










not sure how to make pics bigger but i hope they're good thanks for any input

did you actually mold your tail lights in there?

yea i don't have the supplies to cut metal or get it welded so i did the best that i could with what i have

what did you use to mold them in?

bondo

no more further questioning at this time

you get an A for creativity, but an F for execution

i can see all that bondo cracking the next time you shut your trunklid

Check out my build thread!

UGHHHHHH

IF YOU DON't want it to, dont' drive your car...don't open your trunk, and god help you if you have a system in the back.

Didnt some of the Newer 03+ Cav's come with those wings? or something similar?

Yeah the ls sport limited editions came with that spoiler

and I personally can't stand that wing. I think its one of the ugliest things to ever be put on a J. But thats just one man's opinion...

Honestly, props to the effort, at least you tried. Who knows how long it will last you. It might last longer than you think. I'm actually impressed on how well it came out, the bowties aren't all crooked or one isn't higher than the other. They don't seem to be mis-shapen.

OK guys, how about some constructive criticism here? What could he have done to to it better?

My suggestion would be to cut metal into the shape of the reverse lights and weld that on. You can get a welder for cheap of ebay these days. For that kind of work a MIG/Flux core welder will do just fine. you could cut the bowtie shape into them and been able to place something behind it from the holes in the trunk.

anyone else?

thanks guys and yea its a grand am not the other one

i knew it! lol... got any side shots of it? i've been thinkin of puttin one on my car....

OK, I'll bite.

Acutally, they are not even. The right side is higher (note the red on them: the bowtie goes into the red on the bottom left, and top on the right).
On the second attempt, pay close attention to these details. You don't want to put lots of work into it (again) and not end up with the best possible results.

Seriously, the work itself was pretty good, especially for a first try, but bondo isn't meant for anything other than filling small shallow dings, and it is definitely not for molding pieces together. Metal is the best, but you can glass the lights into it as you did with the bondo. Just take your time, and your result will be good.
