Looks good, but I hope you can see your light through them in the daytime, bc if not you may get a ticket for it. But I like them. Hopefully nothing happens. If you want too, you can remove the paint from the circles with the 3M headlight restore kit. If you do it right, which isnt hard at all, it will pull the paint off the circles, and shine them up at the same time. Goodluck!!

Yeah, it looks great! It would probably still look awesome even if you have to take the tint off of the circles.

Sig'less since '02!

not a fan of the black bumper. your car would look better with the circle part of the tails not so tinted, tinted windows, lowered, and wider tires. i would know because i drive a grey 03 sedan too, nice job on the tails though

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the way you did ur lights has been done many times before. So its not as unique as you think.

225/50R16s are the correct size if you want to run a 225 tire.


Boost > N/A

180hp in 1989 or 260hp in 2008, you decide. Quad < Ecotec

Did you paint them or nightshade? When i did mine with nightshade they came out a little too dark so i just wet sanded with 1000 grit on the main brake light circle until a little red started showing through and then cleared them and they came out perfect. I can't say if that would work for paint and if you used actual paint well then you're an idiot.

Lose the ugly gold bowtie and do the 3rd brake light and it will look almost as cool as mine.

Hit up the Mid East forum, we have a few people here in Columbus and have little meets every once-in-a-while.

Tails looks pretty good though!

Nightshade the 3rd breaklight & remove the bowtie and I think it'd look better. Still a little dark for my taste tho, I like people to be able to see my breaklights.



Re: guess what I did

i left the bowtie because i would of had a huge silver whole and ran out of time so i stuck it back on. i was going to do the third brake light but can out of time,
and yes i used nightshade

and Scott (Silver Z) i'll never be as cool as you

I ran into the same issue with the huge white spot when I took off my bow tie. Just taped the trunk off and quick sprayed that spot black and problem solved. Don't do something if it's rushed.

Glad you know that, it'll save us both a lot of time.
