For the Guy that used the Tint Spray from the hobbie store, did you have a problem with it running? How many coats did you use?

 

[brad98rs]

Does anyone know how to get it off.

 

[TurkF26]

depending on what it is you can use goof off or if its plexi glass, etc.. use goo gone. just use some elbow grease and it comes off.

i got my niteshades off of my headlights with 400grit sand paper.. then finished her up with 800,1000,1500,2000 and mothers mag

Pff. Grab another set off eBay, and sell your custom set on there. Probably triple your money.

 

[DSMhelex]

^^^^ agreed.


but if you must remove them, use fingernail polish remover, or if that doesnt work, use laquer. the remover will remove just the niteshades, if you have any clearcoat you'll need the laquer.

I'm interested in painting/smoking the amber section of my tails black and leaving the red as it is. If anyone could just do a quick job to smoke the amber section I would love you forever thanks

If you guys have any other suggestions as to how i should smoke them, by all means post suggestions! I was contemplating smoking everything black, just the amber part, smoking them all red.... its all in the air so throw me some options

 

[IHeartTurbo]

Here's a few options.

 

[iboostdoyou]

[redmayns]

hey i was just looking on the site and i saw some guy with his middle tail light, the one that says eclipse on it, but yeah the middle was the same color as the car and it said turbo on it in the same type of lettering that that the original eclipse lettering was. can anyone tell me how to do that. like the real way that erryone else does it, i want it to come out the exact right way

 

[redmayns]

here is a picture of what i am talking about and my car is the exact same color so let me know please you guys

 

[Spoolin98]

Take the middle assembly out and have it painted the color of your car, then buy a turbo badge and slap it on. Or you could have the light fiberglassed and painted the color of your car, which would look alot better.

I'mma hafta find one of them cool logo's for my roomie, cause we just got his motor apart, and once it's back togeher, he'll have an aircooled 72 turbo beetle

I like it, especially if the center piece is fibered and is glossy like the car...

i think it would look even better on a Black car...


hmmmmm *considers jumping on the band wagon*
