    So it was warm enough today to finally de-badge and paint the tail lights. Sucks that their are two tiny holes on each side of each emblem. Any thoughts on how to cover those up?

    Thank you,
    David

    Looks gooood. You should black out the T emblem too. Is that legal in your state though?

    Dang, this looks so pretty. Dumb question, when the tail lights are black, doesn't it cut off most of the light?

    Get the smoked/black chrome taillights when they become available through group buy then you should be safe from the cops as the rear red reflectors are present on them.

    Yup. Bake the headlights then paint the reflector housing black. :)

    Going to soon.


    Cincinnati Cops are actually cool about car mods. I know a ton of limo tint rides that have no issues with cops.

    Not that bad, but full sun the running lights suck, but the brake lights still pop.


    Try getting some black duck tape and cover the crome rime around the outside lip. It blacks it out and makes it look a little cleaner.


    Cheers! :rockon:
