where exactly is Duarte?? i would think being in LA or Frisco would make a big diff...or u could say the lights came stock like that..wonder how much a ticket for smoked lights would be? ne one?

 

Duarte is in the Los Angeles county. ticket would most likely be a fix-it ticket

 

Here're are a crapload of photos I took of my custom-overlaid TYC LED tails. Most of the pics can be zoomed in by clicking on them.

Let's start with the full-auto pics I shot initially (sorry, no zooms on these):












And here're my shots from this evening; after the first two, you can zoom in by clicking on them:





























These are dual-layer overlays; the first layer is a precision cut overlay covering only the amber and red reflectors; the second layer wraps all the way around the edges to prevent peeling, with a trapezoidal cut-out over the LED array and backup parralelogram.

Anyone interested in similar work, please contact zoltiz@hotmail.com by MSN Messenger.

oh my god that looks good

 

that setup is HOT EddNog on your color car. I don't think it'd look good on anything except silver/white tC's.

And again, I say holy shnikies thats hot.

 

oh man, i just complimented your car in another thread eddnog, but damn, i have to praise it again. i actually hate the tyc lights, but darkened, it does look sleek. except for the amber lights, otherwise it's all hot.

 

I think that would be the only reason for getting those taillights, Ilove the smoked look.

 

/me adds TYC tails and overlays to buy list......

 

hey guys, I had my tails smoked a while ago, i used the nightshades spray and clear coat, but now i want to go darker, do u think its possible to just spray more nightshades right on it? and also how come mine wasnt shiny after i finished?

heres some pics of it, let me kno what u guys think.. should i go darker?

 

doesn't look like you applied any clear coat

 

really.. i applied like 5 coats of it >_<

 

nice pics!!

 

Hey bud....did you wetsand them after each clear coat? Your last 2 coats should have NO WETSANDING....just a good amount of coating on each......as much as you can get on it without it sagging. Do that twice...and yours will shine like mine!

 

hey, i cant see ur pic, but i didnt wetsand at all cuz after i smoked them it didnt look too rough. btw, do u think i should go darker?

 

Thats what my lights looked like before I put the clear coat on them. I need to pick up another can and go darker though. Ill get up some pics when I finish.

 

yers turned out good Bp4life71

 

Yeppers......thanks for the info on how to do it. Getting lotsa looks with it!

 

hey guys, what exactly does wetsanding do? does it makes it smoother or glossier?

 

Eddnog, so hot!! I love it. Those TYC tails are only good the way you've done it! lol you da man!

 

nice picts!
