taillight mod (56k beware)

illicitQ · Post by **illicitQ** » June 5th, 2005, 9:49 pm

well i did up my taillights for a while now but i just now had time to post pics. lemme know what you think.

this is how my lights used to be. chrome altezzas painted black with the lens removed.

this was an idea i had. stock lens over the black altezzas. dont mind the jack handle, its holdin the lens up.

my trial at the "kouki" look. the tint was too dark IMO.

and here are how my lights are now. could have been better but i like em.

Looks very nice, except for the stock split brake/reverse light.

should i tint the reverse lights too? i just wanted to see what it looked like not tinted and i just kept it that way.

I'd like to see a pic with the reverse lights on.

looked rad w/o the lenses..how did the hold up with the weather?

i'll get some nite pics up soon, and some reverse light pics too. well i guess sam and i came up with the idea but i tested it out first.

i didnt have much problem with the lensless altezzas but our weather here isn't too harsh.

yea lol we were both talkin about it at the same time (we live very close), but Q experimented first, and then just went a different way than me. heres a pic i took of his car at night:

really bad quality pic but looks really hot when u follow him at night!
