what do you think...?


old tail lights.....


freshly painted tails


and again...


front corners


smokedd

Cant say Im a fan, it really doesnt work with how stock the car is and the fact nothing else is dark.

Smoked is one thing blacked out is another.

I think bigfoot is blurry,
that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra
scary to me. There's a large, out-of-focus monster, roaming the countryside.

nice.. see i knew 02 ls sports came with the flat side skirts

yes on the tails.. unsure on the fronts...

did you clear them?

yeah black rims are on the way soon, and tint is as well. and getting lowered toooooooo!

Awful.

hmm not too sure i like the fronts i kindo of like the back it would look better if the whole thing was smoked but its more like blacked out...
but you need to de-badge it! it would look soo much nicer

I'd do the headlights lightly to blend with the corners a bit Right now they look too out of place.

The tails are nice, but a couple of light coats over the whole thing to make them look mostly smoke, but not decrease the light, would probably be better.

I've always loved the look of smoked lights, but if it's not tied together right, it doesn't work.

Looks good just needs a front lip ...

yeah im thinking of lightly doing the headlights n i want to get a front lip..

I love the rear tail lights. Way too dark for me on the front corners, maybe it's the lighting.

It looks like the tails aren't cleared... either that or you need to polish the @!#$ out of them.

Also it's a pet peeve of mine when the OEM letters on the tails aren't sanded down first before painting.

The front corners look nice and shiny though!

Are you going to keep the pinstripe? Debadge it? It would make it look cleaner after you lower it, get rims, and window tint.

not bad but have fun for inspection. buddie tinted his tails against most advice not to. and when he went for pa inspection 9 shops turned him down saying they will fail safety with them like that. just fyi i dig the rears tho

definitely need cleared....



All I want... is a little of the good life

yea i wana convince her to debagde it n no ididnt clear the back yet.. but going to smoke the red part out then clear them. but yea im guna go mto a junkyard n get another pair of front corners for wen it gets inspected but you can actually see thru them better than youd think. thnks for the input tho deff helps. were both still in high school tho so theres not much money at all to just buy after market lights haha i like it over stock.. n so does she hah so thts all tht matters

do the headlights too. inside of course. then the fronts are good. unsure about the rears though.

Definitely going to do the inside, once I figure out how to take the headlights off..

Smoking your headlights has to be one of the stupidest ideas ever. I mean unless you dont mind not seeing at night. Or if you just dont drive after dark. Or if you dont mind never passing an inspection or getting a ticket.

alright dude with the red sunflower were tlking about just doing the chrome edging on the INSIDE of the light not the clear lens cuz yea obviously you would loose visibility.. and the around the light not around the inside of the bulb were it actullay projects off the chrome. but any way can anyone tell me how hard it is to seperate the lens from the light itself? and is it hard?

The way Brian is talking about will not make you lose visibility compared to smoking the headlights. There are certain areas you can paint and ones you can't touch. You can tell this by looking at it.

You can seperate the lens by baking it to heat the glue, then pulling it apart.

alright thanks and yeah i know wat areas i can or cannott paint. but once its off n im done how do I reattach the lenses so they don't leak?

Some RTV silicone. Its black.

It has fail written all over it. With the lenses tinted that dark, it's going to be a safety issue.
