Re: 86 GT-S smoked corner lights, anyone think i should also tint the gray parts of the front like where it says celica and under the headlights? because the corners are kinda dark and i think it would look better if i tinted all the grey a bit. doing the tails soon also. well heres some pics. oh and this is without clearcoat on the corners, didnt get a chance to apply that.
Re: 86 GT-S smoked tails, probably will be re doing due to a couple runs and spots that didnt turn out nice, and i went too dark on accident ><.
Re: 86 GT-S how many coats did you put on? you will probs get away with just sanding back. 800 wet then 1000 wet, 1500 wet (not overly necessary but preffered), 2000 wet, reapply clear coat if desired and then cut and shel be all sweet
Re: 86 GT-S looks very dark as said above, hope the cops are okay with it. in the UK with smoked lights we have to add a reflector for each light to appease the law.
Re: 86 GT-S ya when i get more nite shade ima redo em not as dark lol. cops hae been fine so far they still light up good at night
Re: 86 GT-S Holy crap that's dark! Looks great though, nice job 8) So can you see the brake lights during the day? I'm a bit concerned that someone isn't going to see you braking and stomp your ass end by accident :?
Re: 86 GT-S u can still see the red during the daytime a little bit, and at night with the lights on u can still see it shine through good, and its definately bright enough when u push the pedal so im not too worried about that, i just wanna redo it because now a cop has something he can pull me over for if he felt like it.. thanks for the compliments though
Re: 86 GT-S thats what im doin as soon as i buy more vht nite shade, one of mine is broken though(shattered) so idk i might have to wait till i get a new one
Re: 86 GT-S I got bored so i painted the front lip, its a lighter red than the car but it doesnt look too bad. plus some random pics. i also bought a clay bar kit, wax, polish, and microfiber towels etc. i dont have access to a machine to do the waxing/polishing is it ok to do it by hand? and the pics
Re: 86 GT-S ya im definately happy i lowered it, really looks nice, next to my moms 03 accord it looks like a little go kart er something its stupid low/small compared to it
Re: 86 GT-S love the lights!!! id leave the front grey the way it is i think!!! looks very clean thou!!!
Re: 86 GT-S thanks for the compliments went picture happy yesterday heres some random pics after i clay bar/waxed it(i couldve done a better job but i was short on time). this REALLY made my paint better, took the fading out of it. things tiny next to the honda ridgeline..
Re: 86 GT-S looking well smart, I clayed and polished my car by hand too, freaking hurts after a while but worth it. What about painting or cutting out the bits in the front bumper by the towing eyes, painting it black or cutting the extra material out completly, would just look a bit meaner imo
