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..

Omixeo 07-28-06 11:34 PM

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?

NoRotor,NoMotor 07-28-06 11:39 PM

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

eriksseven 07-29-06 05:34 PM

The exhaust is dual Apexi N1's. I used to really not like them, but they've grown on me recently. :icon_tup:

DREYKO 08-08-06 12:26 AM

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

88rxn/a 08-08-06 01:01 AM

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!!

Bigretardhead 08-08-06 01:14 AM

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

rarson 08-08-06 01:58 AM

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.
