A friend of mine just got his body kit in yesterday and sold me his matching color TSi AWD rear bumper for $20.


Anyway, when I take my current rear bumper cover off, I want to do something truly unique with my stock tail lights. What have you guys/girls done with your stockers to make them look nice? I like a nice, smooth, clean look... and I don't really want to spend more than 30-40 bones on any appearance modification. (Money in the bank for go-fast mods). No Altezza suggestions please. (clear, carbon, black, etc)


Thanks,

Oh.. and the reason I am getting the AWD bumper cover is because 4-5 weeks ago I completed the venerable AWD conversion, and also because my girlfriend swiped a tall curb and scratched my paint

Otherwise, I would keep the TSi bumper just to keep people guessing.

color the top of the taillight red like the bottum.
It looks really nice.

The color used for this im pretty sure is called candy apple red translucent .

How much in total did the conversion cost. Did you do it yourself our what?

 

[TuRbOsPoRtTaLoN]

Well, around $4000 for parts if I remember correctly, and a few hundred on pizza and beer for me and the guys working on it.
