smoke96 05-16-2008, 01:12 PM looks great imo that body style looks better with smoke tail lights rather than blacked out.

02 Ninja 05-16-2008, 02:20 PM Nice. Wanna do mine now??? LOL. j/k
99BlackPonyGT 05-16-2008, 02:23 PM what tint did you use that you had to remove the lights? or did you just take them out to make it easier? i ordered vinyl today
getafewlives 05-16-2008, 04:15 PM How much work is it to black out the lights? How much does it cost? Maybe I'll do that to mine :)
oxfordgt 05-16-2008, 05:00 PM Looks good. I used the spray tint to do mine then clear coated them.
SilvrStang 05-16-2008, 05:37 PM Im sorry I gota ask? Why STEEDA badges? Is that an actual steeda or just badge?
Looks good!!!!!!!!!! Your car has a very nice clean look with those lights.
SlvrOhTwoGeeTee 05-16-2008, 07:33 PM I just installed the vinyl overlays. Took about 15 minutes to do the whole thing and got no bubbles. Nice and shiny finished product.

miniman342 05-16-2008, 09:40 PM i used a spray tint. its testors model car window tint spray paint. it is soooo much cheaper than vinyl and that vht nightshades stuff. thats 3 or 4 coats on there. i've got to polish them when i get a chance, but they look pretty good close up.
and yea, thats just a steeda badge. the car is just a gt. i had a 4.6performace badge there before but someone decided that they wanted it more than i, and they yanked it off. it damaged the paint underneath, so i put a steeda badge there. i like it
stangalator 05-16-2008, 10:04 PM looks good!
