hey can you put lights in there to see how it would look....hell even if its like christmas lights or something i wana see...plz

 

yeah lets see what they look like on the car

 

i AM WITHOUT AN fc

 

quick, someone near him lend him thier FC! i wanna see what this looks like!!

it looks good enough the way it is, but im also interested to see what it would look like with clear on the bottom....i jus dont know how you would do that w/o leaving the black line in the middle.

hmm, do they sell that lexan in more than one color?

 

did you just heat up the lexan to fit the curve of the housing?

 

They come in All Colors Of The Rainbow.. As far as heating it goes the curve is so slight you really don't need to.. I used a hair dryer to help cure the epoxy but as far as bending it it was barely needed.

 

if you could make them look like the Dmax tail lights, would be sick!

i think they could look alot simular to this..

heres thier other stuff

 

^^^^

thats what im talking about.

 

Well that would be easy.. Buy clear lexan, mask off the top section and then Spray VHT transparent Tint on the inside... BANG.. done..

 

shouldnt be hard.. buy clear lexan /plexiglass at local hardware store.

use vinyl red tail light tape from auto store to "try "..
or get some red transparent paint and spray halff of the lense.

If you could add some sort of textures to teh lense, it would look nice..

 

haha dmammit!! you gave me a reason to buy some S4 tails next time i visit the junk yard =p

I wouldnt mind doing some homework and making me a LED panel for a set, would be sweet for shows.

 

i even wouldnt mind. just a clear section for the turn signal part

 

If you can somehow add that "Dimple " reflective texture to the bulb housing.. would be awesome..

maybe run some chrome vinyl strips along the inside of the lense to class it up a lil..

 

Send em to me! I'll take care of em! LOL

 

i know thats why i said to just get any kind of lights....hell can you take some pics of them with a couple flashlights in them?

 

Very nice, only thing is I don't like how you can see the housings for each bulb. A diffuser and maybe some other stuff would make it look a lot better.

 

How about if you were to the reflective backings (the silver part behind the bulbs for all you people who can't understand) with some type of black that will still reflect the light. That way it's not so shiny and silver and it won't give that "transparent red lexan" feel/look to it.

And for everyone asking about the reverse coloring, it's perfectly okay to have other-than-white/clear reverse lights. I think someone cleared that up earlier in this thread or in a similar thread.

Looks pretty damn good RRTEC. I had my doubts at first due to my poor comprehension abilities, (I learn by pictures) but you seem to be pulling it off quite nicely. Let's see some progress!!

 

Wondering how it would look with smoked lexan instead of red

 

So you want me to try a diffuser in there... I can do that... I would think that reflective material would look good... But I like them as they are personally.. I will try some more things just for fun.. Stay tuned.

 

the ones on that S13 coupe was what i was thinking. makes me miss my old coupe! =(

but yea...keep us updated!

 

I still want to try them >_>

 

That looks great. I'll have to see what the Mrs. has to say and maybe do that to my old S4 tails for her FC.

 

You know what would be cool is if you wired up some leds on the sides and then had the lexan laser etched with a rotor design You could leave the leds lit and mask them off so the the light is just on the side of the lexan then the design would glow where it was etched. That would be bad ***. I have done it on some computer windows.

 

Invest in a Dremel if you haven't already. It will help you grind the plastic to perfection. Practice it first though... it will melt plastic in a heartbeat if you apply too much pressure or stay in one spot too long. Also useful for porting TBs and polishing metal

 

Nice idea for my old tails. I think they look a million times better already... kudos for you rrtec
