give us some updates when you get the chance!

Omixeo - the ebay auctions have expired. searched Ebay and couldnt find anything that meets my needs.

I think LED's would look really good... However, I'm too lazy and they look so good regardless. :drool:

car... so beautiful.... should have brought poet..

Yah, that car is awesome looking. I think i might do this to my tails. Anyone know how easy/hard it is to take them apart and do this?

i did it.. the hardest part of it is taking them off.. i sat mine in front of a heater for 20 minutes or so. when i took them apart. i removed all the old glue stuck in between, after that i washed then tails thorughly with soap and water. then put them back together using a marine base sealent(sp?) and finished it off with come VHT clearcoat. =) eric is da man for this

those are hella clean mine are blacked out and i wish they weren't

damn thats hot....

think i might do that...

Heyyy, thanks for the compliments guys... It's gonna be even sweeter when you see it's new stance. :drool: I just finished installing a set of KYB AGX's and RS*R "race" springs. Not to mention the new clutch setup, IC setup, fuel setup and turbo. Woot!

yea i was gonna give you shit for bein a 4x4 but mine used to be like that...thing was monstertrucking...didnt realize how tall it was til i was at a meet and i had lowered seconds gens on both sides.

Haha, I know... The guy who took the photo gave me a little sneak preview of the way it *should* be. ;)

yea im building my exhaust in a few weeks...SDJ header, borla xr1 and a 5zigen GN+ can...single exhaust....the dual n1s look good though

Just finished up a set for another forum member... Sooo clean. ;)

someone polished s5 taillight lense :)

No polish--just magical taillight 'modernizing' skillz yo!

i did that to one, howd you get the glue to seperate easy, i almost broke the one i have

clear coat eh?!
so what kind of clear coat you use? AND what kind of siliconce or whatever you use to put em back together?
looks REAL nice!!

wow, those look really clean. I still want to see someone do something with S4 lights... otherwise I may have to...

The black car looks really good (great angle to show off the lights, too). As stupid as this sounds, this is the first time I've seen this done. I have another idea for the lights that would work very well with this and a flat-black car. Something very unconventional...

I like the blacked-out look on some cars but with flat black paint I don't like glossy blacked-out lights, so I've got an idea that may look pretty cool.

I dont feel like reading 12 pages worth of posts, so im just gunna ask. Did anyone do a writeup for this?

That is NICE!!!

the exterior lense are clean. i thought you polished them.


yes, stop being lazy and read.

Here are my s4's on my old Rex.. (damn dud bought it and put a V8 in her.. *tear*)

The taillights just posted are mine :) I should be recieving them on 8/14 -- Can't wait!

^ i thought you sold your 7s already....

^^ bump for this post. i would like to see the outcome of that idea.

i found maxxima's website. if you scroll down you will see the 4 inch LED light that LSX257 posted.

and found this...

I just do a crazy wet-sand and clear-coat process. :ky:

Those bastards... Someone just put a V8 in my old Rx7 too! :eek: :mad:

My first Turbo II has been ruined...

Erik, what do you charge to do this conversion? You seem to have done a few, I'd rather have someone who's done a few, convert mine, I don't want to f- mine up.

J

I've been doing them for $100.

If that sounds like a lot, consider the fact that materials cost over $20, and it takes me about 5 hours to get them taken apart, cleaned, dryed, put back together, sanded, cleaned, dryed, masked, painted, sanded, cleaned, dryed and clear-coated. I think it's a really fair cost. :)

If you want me to do it, just send me a PM. I'm more than willing to do anyone's taillights. I had a really good time doing adrock's, simply because I love seeing the before and after. :bigthumb:

Okay guys, here it is. I had this idea for a tail light mod, and then after reading this thread, I thought it would be great to do in conjunction with eriksseven's mod.

Problem is, I don't have an FC anymore (yet), but I wanted to try it and so I tried it on my GSX today. Turned out AWESOME.

Before pics:

Oh yes, don't mind the horribly dirty car (it's been sitting for 3 years).

After:

Okay, and this is one crappy night-time pic I took with my laptop webcam at the track. It's horrible quality, I'll try to get some more night pics tomorrow.

Okay, now to explain a bit: I'm going to be painting the car flat black. I figured it might be cool to black out the lights, but I didn't want them shiny. I wanted them to appear almost flat black like the car (in fact, they really do look flat black, and if it was any closer I don't think the light would come through). So I came up with this idea of wrapping the lights with black pantyhose. So I bought a pair, and used one leg each on each light. It was very resilient and didn't tear at all, even though I was kind of rough with it. After the lights were wrapped (I just basically slid them into the leg), since they were still pretty red, I sprayed them with flat black paint.

In retrospect, a better idea would have been to use two legs on one light, but I didn't think about that til after I was done. The thing I like the most is that from the side, the lights look completely black. I tried to capture it in the pictures.

I think this would be awesome to do along with the other mod on a flat-black FC.

sorry, but did people look at you weird when they saw a dude buying a pair of panty hose?

Looks like its a better idea than spray tint since its removable. and when cops pull you over for tinting your taillights you can say "oh no, its just a pair of panty hose!" and start scratching it apart.

I wonder how weather resistant pantyhose are...lol

Not a *huge* fan of the panty-hose mod, but I'll give you credit for a pretty good idea, lol.

Actually, my wife bought it for me. But I've bought tampons before so some panty hose is no biggie.

It's been raining a bit lately. The panty hose still looks as it originally did. I don't know how easy it'll be to clean or how much of a dirt magnet it'll be, but I really like the effect of the lights. I still need to get some LED bulbs in there.

I was surprised at how much I like the look. I keep staring at my tail lights. It makes them look almost textured in a way.

my gf tried to con me into getting tampons once...all she got was a ride to the store

Have fun washing the car, dude...you now have a "cloth" exterior :\

Nah, just cloth tail lights. It's not apparent from the pics, but the car is gutted, so it only takes about 2 minutes to remove the lights.

Besides, as you can probably tell, I don't wash it much as it is. :)

i love having a gutted car

eriksseven, have you thought of polishing a set of S4 tails?

:eek:

Those BASTARDS!

:stickpoke:
