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

[Steel Hawk]

It varies from state to state, in Missouri the law reads something like "automobile must have at least two visible red lights visible from 400ft away". So in my case it isn't, as long as you can see the red light when the lights are on. There is no federal law, so check your local PD.

Hey i don't know if you remember my car from the WA/OR meet part IV but it was the white 2g next to Tom's, and i have tinted tails. I dunno fi you remember but they look really good on my car and i'd imagine with that blue it would look good if you tinted the windows.

 

[kirbstalon]

in my opinion it looks bad-ass

Hey guys,
I have Altezza's and hate the middle piece!
I'm definetly painting it this weekend, but I need to know What Kinda Paint would it be the Best to Use (And Where to Get it), How many coats to make it look perfect, etc....

Any help will be appreciated!
I've seen a Thread about this but I'd like some specific help!

Thank you!

EDIT: PLEASE NOTE, I HAVE ECLIPSE TAIL LIGHTS!

 

[nolragan]

I would love to know to, I have the same problem, but no one seems to respond...

 

[Oliver]

Ohhhhh I'm so sorry!
I forgot to mention that I have "ECLIPSE TAILS" hehe Maybe that's
why no one is replying to this post!

Anyone?

As for you "nolragan" ... I know someone that is willing to paint their Talon tails and I also have some pics of them red... email me if interested to know more: [email protected]

A body shop should do it for about $50 or less. Then you wouldn't have to worry about it and you know it'd come out perfect.

 

[98TsiAWD]

Just wetsand it with a fine grit sandpaper, then use automotive primer on it (can get anywhere, even walmart), then go to an auto body shop and ask where they get their paint from. Go to taht business and have them mix you up a spray can of your paint code.

Sorry to flame, but maybe you should paint your body kit first.

He's got a point.

Why didn't you just wait to install your kit until you had the money to also paint it

I have the money, but the thing is... My kit is in bad condition, it needs a lot of work and my hook up got busted for stealing!
I mean I'm not gonna wait on his ass to get out but, I can't find anyone who won't stuck a knife on me...
FYI, last shop I went quoted me $2,000
But I'm seeing this guy with a Yellow DSM this weekend and see wasup...

 

[Dark_Racer]

$2000.00 Man my body kit is getting put on and painted for $200.00 with my back altezza being painted. Good ol russians lemme tell you

 

[Oliver]

Damn man! If it was just 200 for me here I would have done it long time ago!

How do you take the rear interior panel off?

 

[Colossus]

The interior trunk piece for the back center is popped in, as most of the rest of the parts are. some may need a rachet, but they're mostly just popped in (and tough lil sh*ts to pull out)

 

[Mikey001015]

thanks, man I was wondering because i tried pulling at it and it seemed to be snapped in extremely well and wasn't sure and didn't want to break the panel

 

[DCsGST]

I don't think it's rice at all. After I did mine I fell in love all over again.


Check out mine and tell it looks like shyt:

 

[BacknBlack92ESi]

I love that look man^^ It makes me want to get the CF Tails for my 1G and tint them. Looks great!

 

[joegengsta]

okay i have a 97 gsx with that odd
'grey pearlescent' color that shines slightly blue when hit and is a gray at night and an odd light purple/grey/brown during the day. The thing is, i want a perfect match and the dealership doesn't sell OEM paint. paint shop can't exactly match that two tone ness and body shops will do half ass jobs and it wont match completely and look right. any other suggestions? this is a bizarre color and i want it PERFECT!
thanks

i bought oem touch up paint from my mitsu dealer...they should be able to sell you paint....then just take the paint bottle and the paint code on it and take it to a paint shop....they should be able to match it for you with the correct paint code

exactley

they matched my g56 green by mixing 8 different colours together,then they painted it and the parts were bluish,then when it dried it was green again...go to a good paint shop!they can do amazing things

 

[DSMlaser4u]

ok i got finally tired of the crap tails that came on my car so i decided to tint them.. i am almost done this is where i am at now... 3 coats in.. i might stay this tone and wetsand then clear them... here is a before and after any imput would be great (PS: middle peice will be my stock color as soon as i get the paint but would look ghetto primer grey atm ;P )

 

[DSMlaser4u]

and current state of tails (still need wet sand to get rid of orange peel and bumps)

 

[FourG63 97GST]
