I like these. I have never seen them on a car. Although i think the would only look good on darker color cars...

I think it would depend on the color of the car. Look at mine on my cardomain page (sig file). Mine are very similar.

i wouldnt put them on. I had black housing tail-lights (same as Salty Dogs) on my car for 2 years. then i just did a red-out on my OEM ones, put them back in and i liked it better. but its your car, do whatever u feel looks best!

[TenZen]

I like those. Cause i have them.

[flyhye]

thanks guys,
mine is white,

Roach, the taillights do look better red-out
i might try that, or maybe a tint,

Those things reek of Uncle Ben's.

Altezzas taillights are so played out that not even Altezzas use them anymore.

[RoachRolla]

yeah, mine too. the amber is starting to come through the paint. its not peeling on mine, just fading away. i might have to redo the tail-lights soon. What i wanna do is partially red out the center of the reverse lights and leave just a thin ring of the white lens showing through. but its a PIA...
I wont black mine out, itd be wayyy to much back on the car.

I redded out the corner lights on mine a while back, almost half a year I'd say... It still looks fine. Did you guys put some clear coat over it?

[RoachRolla]

i completely neglected to spray clear coat over the tail-lights after I did them thinking it wasnt necessary... When i redo them, ill make sure to spray some on.

[MacktasticSlick]

That was most likely the problem. I have noticed though, right around the very edge, I can see it coming off. But that might be where the tape was, so it seems the clear coat really helps make it stay.

Hey Cleverguy that's actually exactly what I did! LOL
At first I took off the outer light from the car, and sprayed the whole thing. When I put it back on, it was a slightly different red than the one with the back up light. So I taped off the reverse lights, and sprayed that one too. I'm very pleased with how it turned out.

Well if you've been around a while, you'll see a bunch of threads about engine swaps, and they all got kinda repetitive after a while. So they close them down if it doesn't lead anywhere. To answer your "for two", he has the right because if you look by his name, it shows he's a moderator. So he has some control over what goes on in this board. That in a way also answers "three".

As for your lights, I would put a pretty dark smoke on everything except the reverse lights, and only do a light smoke over those. That's only because leaving something un-smoked gives it a little more character, in my opinion. Also, what color is your car gonna be, once it's out of the shop?

[MacktasticSlick]

Um, yeah I would be careful about what you send to a mod on here. Hell, it doesn't even have to be directed to them in a message. They aren't too strict on here, but that doesn't mean you should f*ck up your chances of being a long time member of this place just because someone closed a thread you were actually participating in. If you're gonna message him, try to stay cool, you know?

Oh, and I hate the color of my car... It's the rarest I've ever seen this car in, and I'm pretty sure it's for a good reason. Hopefully you can get some pics up soon.
