Shaded tail lights. Dark, but still retain their redness...so hopefully they won't bait any cops.


Coming soon: P5/MP3 Bumper

the pictures look good, but why are they so dark ???
they almost look like they are black and white...

take some with more light around:bt:

what did you use to shade your tail lights? i have heard of cling-tint and testors spray-tint.

Yeah...the pics are kind of dark...but when I took them, it was raining outside and turning on the flash made the pictures worse.

I used tinting spray-paint under the name of "Tail Shades". I sprayed 2 coats of paint to get it dark enough, but keep a distinctive red colour...any darker would've looked good, but would probably get me in a bit of trouble with some cops.

Wow, that brings me back. I have a tonne of old transformer toys. The decepticon symbol looks pretty cool on the Pro. Good job. :bt:

For those who don't know what I'm talking about, here are the transformer symbols that some of us are all too familiar with.

oh yeah island, I remember wanting to tint my windows with you..... hehe

And as for the Transformers, who in the world doesn't know about them? come on, wouldn't it be cool if they had a Protege Autobot? :p

I have that on the rear of my civic. I love the transformers still. The movie is great and has great 80's music.

Deceptipro March-15th-2002 04:29 PM

Yeah...it's becoming a theme with the cars that I own...I'll probably have one on each car that I end up having. :D

I was driving last week and came to a stop light, and some guy about mid 40's, with his kids in the car, got me to roll down my window just to ask me where I got the sticker! Kinda weird...but pretty cool too.

Hey Makaveli, how do your tails look with the third coat? I don't want to go too far with it looking too dark.

Islandpro, the laws are the same here...we can't tint our front windows either...that's why I'm not tinting mine. I'd rather keep a consistent shade all around.
