Wes..

Not even close to a spray can...Nish uses quality automotive paint that wont fade or chip. A lot of people talk about using model paint, etc. etc.. All those will fade in time because of the sun. Not automotive paint. Nish uses a 2 step process that consist of the candy and then clear.

By no means does it look crappy or GHETTO!

I have not seen them in person, but I am sure it is nice since its by Gary
As for been legal or not, I think it is illegal (Atleast in CA)

I have approached couple law offices about tinted lights and removing bumper markers. In CA you will need to have 2 reflector in the back light or atleast on back bumper. Factory clear lights will still reflects because there are reflectors inside the lights. by looking at those night time pictures, I can't really tell if the reflector still work. If they are no good anymore, then it is illegal.

One trick to solve that problem is to buy those stick on reflectors and pur like bottom of the bumper or something.

If you must ask why we need rear reflectors... Well, I almost hit a stupid honda civis with those stupid cheap altezza lights and no reflector at night. That stupid dude's car is park right next to a street in the middle of night and there is no street light. I can see all the cars with the reflector park on the street but not that stupid honda. (Not to mention I have the good silver star and 2-4inches fog lights on)

I was just saying that in the pics, it looks ghetto. looks like someone got a little crazy with the color controls on photoshop but i'm sure if NISH is doing them, they are good quality. i haven't seen anything of his that wasn't

HHHHHHMMMM GHETTO HUH???....

As some of you have read some of my post on these forums, I have always taken a positive and very moderate replys on the subjects that are posted here, giving props and giving credit where credit is due. But for some reason this"FOOL" always has something negative to say whenever an SE member post something to share with everyone. Just wanna know, What the hell is your problem ??

Randy, I respect peoples opinions, positive or negative. Especially yours man, but this guy seems to always have a negative reply w/ every SE related post, and to tell u the truth I've been pretty quite about it, but now I'm kinda sick of it. Maybe he just might get my opinion at the next Scion owners meet.

Tim...the paint is light enough that the reflectors still work. And the picture don't do justice to the craftmanship of the paint job and it's color... I might have gone abit darker...but i wanted something light enough and different to stand out

I have yet to see Alex's lights in person and I would have to say that those should be only for shows. A lot of people probably wouldn't like em if you drove on the street all the time because there are too many kids doing crappy jobs on their cars and taking the cheap route of model spray paint and giving good people like Gary a bad name. I would still love to see them though in person because if they are the exact same quality as Gary's orange, then pictures ARE NOT doing them any justice.

I was lucky enough to meet up with Gary last night and those tails look like nothing I have ever seen on a scion before. There wasn't one problem that I found unlike the hack job I got on my body kit from some local shop. From now on, Gary is duin all my work.

I think the ones on the crx on that link look bad, but yours look tight... I really dig the candy one, blue seems like a too much attention from the po- po...

yeah..it's an attention grabber Blue. That's why i plan on using it only at shows...i have TYC tail lights for everyday driving.

The point is...xB is all about individuality and expression... i could have painted mine red like most ...but i wanted to experiment with something different.

And the paint job is second to none... it's so clean that u'll think it came painted from the factory.
