Default Got some vinyl.

So I finally got the blackout panel and Roush-style bumper insert that i've been wanting. A buddy's shop did it for $40, putting it on everything. After watching the woman work on all the edges and curves between the tail lights, i'm so glad I didn't do this myself. Haha.




And I actually just got done putting on some new tail light tint. I...hate..air..bubbles. There's still plenty, but I was becoming frustrated to the point of breaking something, so it's good enough.




Whaddya think?

Nice looking. I am not personally a fan of tail light tint though.

I think it looks pretty good. One thing you can do about the bubbles in your tint is take a needle and poke a little hole in the middle of it and work it out that way.

I was told that and I might try it, but i'm kinda nervous to poke holes and then have light show through them, makin' it look kinda funny. If all else fails I might just try that though. If THAT fails, it's time for spray tint. Haha

if you make the holes with a needle, they'll never show light through them.

Nah man my tint is indefinitely removable and is usable over and over, so the seller told me. It's a relatively thick piece of vinyl that reacts to water on the taillight, and bonds to it. If you use your fingernail you could peel it right off, it just doesn't go anywhere while driving. I'm looking into spray tint if the quality starts to lack. Light shows right through it when my running lights are on and when I hit the brake, so I leave them on all the time.

03MachMe, man your car is gorgeous. Where'd you get the quarter window louvers?

huh didnt know they made it removable. mine is def a sticky surface on the inside and once it comes off you would have sticky **** all over your tail lights and the vinal would be ruined it was a pain in the *** to put on too took me at least an hours because i didnt want any air bubbles but it was def worth it. and i have no idea where the louvers came from your the 2nd person on this site to ask me that. they were on the car when i bought them. i told the other guy to try searching "fastback louvers" i think that is what they were called i dont think they are made anymore
