VHT Nite Shades [Merged 8-7] tint tinted smoked painted tails taillight taillights

[AlexPrc0]

yeah aight i was wondering about the middle panel of the tail lights. i was thinking of painting it the same color as my car which is pretty common but still cool. now what i was wondering is do most people just paint over the red middle panel or get a new one and paint over that? also does anyone have any info on some good carbon fiber tail lights to replace the red ones with? aight thanks guys.

I just painted the stock one, dropped it off at a body shop and picked it up the next day...25$

[fivestardsm]

I don't know about the painting but go to the classifieds forum and there's some for sale!!

For what it's worth, my bodyman said it would prob. only stay on for 2-3 yrs. with no pressure washing.

Does anybody have there taillights smoked on a 2g talon and do you have any pictures of it? Also how would i smoke them myself or would i have to go somewhere for them to do it?

[MitsuReaper]

Theres actually a thread kinda like this.. That I posted to.
Only he wanted to Smoke his headlights..


is it possible to tint the head lights on a 95 gst?

I put on that post the stuff to use, and where to get it. He wanted some pics of my tail's so I will put some up there, so you can take a look at them also.

[TrippleStar]

just wanted to know what you guys think of smoked out tails on a black ride. you think it looks good or do think it looks cheap, ricey, or whatever? i just want to hear some opinions no matter if its positive or negative. thanx.

[TuRbOsPoRtTaLoN]

i like them, they are way better than the Altezzas (IMHO). if anyone can tell me how to remove "TALON" from the rear lights, please help!

as long as it isn't spraypaint, i think they're fine get a couple cans of spray tint from an auto parts store, and use a few coats until they're as dark as you desire.

now, on a white car, or some color other than black, i would say that it wouldn't look quite as nice... though i still see it frequently.

hell, ANYTHING is better than the FUGLY altezza lights i keep seeing on 5.0 mustangs

[dave99gst]

i got some on my 99 gst - theres pix on my site

[dave99gst]

these are just gst covers

[CL MaNTis GST]

nobody wants to see that #@%#@%#@% eclipse sheet.. they want TALON sheet.

thanx for your thoughts. my friend and i smoked out his civic's taillights a couple of months back, its pretty simple and easy. if anyone is looking into it i suggest you use this one japanese brand called "dia-wyte" its pretty good on scratches and so far its pretty weather proof. also, apply a bunch of thin layers rahter than afew thick layers.
im not diggin the altezzas im seeing so often either, never like them in the first place. pretty g@y if you ask me..

its pretty common to use dental floss to floss it off, be patient and take your time or else your gonna be leaving that sticky sh!t its held on with.

[AW4G63]

You can also use a heat gun or a hair dryer to remove any stickers or emblems on cars. Followed by some rubbing compound to get off the adhesive.

[lowridin2g]

wd-40 and goo-gone work good too.

[Chaotech]

could someone post exactly how to smoke-out your taillights, and does anyone have a pic or any idea how they would look on my 1990 talon black w/ silver sideskirts??

[SOURCE1064]

I just bought some carbon fiber altezza's. They are the same ones that I have on my car now but these ones are carbon fiber, I'm still going to keep my red center with the eclipse lettering.

[focusedrage]

yeah those ones above are cool, imo, the chrome ones are always rice, and the black out is suprisingly cool looking... WHEN are they gonna make black altezzas for talons? they coudl do some wild things cause there is more area ad stuff

On talons it is not stick-on letters like the eclipse's. It is molded into the tailight plastic, then the letters are painted black, try some mild paint stripper on it.

[im420haha]

they will never make altezzas for the talon if you buy a eclipse rear bumper you can put eclipse altezzas on it if you need more infor on doing it pm me

[Chaotech]

any chance on getting those CF altezza's on my 1990? or would i be better just smoking mine?
my cars black/silver

[SOURCE1064]

I haven't seen any cf ones for 1g's. You are better out just smoking them.

wrong
the 2g "eclipse" on the back can come off

heat gun, and mequires cleaner wax.

looks better without it

[phatridztsi]

before you go flamin people and telling them their wrong learn to read. He said the ECLIPSE DOES come off that the talon doesnt, ( note to self: look like a jackass less often)

[girl20racer]

I don't think they look ricey, unless you could have spent that money on something else for you engine... haha, j/k

BUT, i think the car is yours, and you should put what you think looks good. I know if i wanted them, i'd put them on there and wouldn't care what anyone else thought..

[Silent2g]

doh
*puts on dunce hat*

I love the car man ! (but silver stripe may just a *bit* too much)

[avatar]

Does anybody know where I could find something like a vinyl strip (same color as the paint on car) to cover up the middle section of the tail lights or do you just paint over it? Also does anybody know if smoked tail lights are illegal and where I might find this type of tail lights? Thanks to all that can help.

[dave99gst]

to smoke the tails -- ya just use covers from GTS - most people just get the covers , and then paint the center section on the cover
