mm chips deluxe


but in all honesty, they look a lot better painted than not...dont know how good they look until they are on a car, though.

looking good..now wetsand ,paint again and clearcoat!(or smooth em out a bit)

 

[rjdavis21]

lookin' good... put em on the car so we can really see what they look like

 

[dave99gst]

they sure look close to stock tails. ive got to wonder why bother ? just use stockers

 

[kelvinb]

that looks pretty cool. i think i want to do that also but with the black tinted ones. i think that would look hot

 

[WHite97RS]

yeah im using stockers right now, but i already had the altezzas, and im sellin my stockers to someone, and i think the circles lightin up will look pretty sweet. i need to sand em but i think ill do it later. thanks.

i think you should do it now and post pics of them on your car.

 

[WHite97RS]

Sorry guys the lazyness took over, and i need to get some sand paper. but here are some shots on the car, ill get yall some night shots tonight. Before and after shots.....

i gotta say it doesnt look to bad in day light. i would really like to see what they look like at night. looking forward to seeing those pics.

 

[AdoreGSX]

yes i would love to see night....i'll have to say thats the first pair of altezzas, though modded, that look good.

 

[greyforestgst]

fuuck yeah, they do look good

props for originality

I always like the crystal red altezzas, but they're hard to find
thats another good option

Looks good man I've got some carbon fiber Altezzas on my car right now. It's already in storage for the winter, but when I get it out for Thanksgiving break I'm putting my stock taillights back on and tinting them w/VHT Nite Shades.. I might as well put a light coat on the CF Altezzas too and see how it looks to determine if I should just pitch them or sell them I'll be sure to post pics of it.

Looks a TON cleaner... I almost did that but... didn't want to waste $ on Altezzas... but it looks pretty good... like DC(sGST)s tails, looks clean during the day but still has the cool divided effect at night

 

[limp_noodle]

Looks nice. What kind of paint did yuo use?

 

[dave99gst]

ya i must say it does look pretty cool

 

[WHite97RS]

ok this is how i did it....did the usual cleaning, now all i did was wipe it down with an alcohol prep pad and then dried it with a paper towel. I used Krylon stained glass paint, and i would definately recommend holding it like 10 inches away, it looks kinda pinkish at first, but simply let it dry for ten minutes and add more coats until you get the darkness you want. i let it sit for 3 hours, then added 3 coats of Krylon U/V protectant clear gloss. you could prob even do the whoel wet sand thing, my lights are kinda hazy over the two big circle in the middle but you dont really notice. i got the paint from micheals craft store as well as the clear coat from there, the paint was 6.99 and the clear was like 5. Good luck.

[Jay123]

I think they look tight, way to be creative man, its kinda like hidden altezzas

 

[wafflez66]

I think they look awesome

 

[Turbo_Frog]

So just out of curiousity......our stock 2g tailights have three bulbs in them??? I thought we had only two? (I have stock tails, and thats what it seems like.)

 

[WHite97RS]

yeah three bulbs, two are turn signal and all three are parking lights......
