I need some opinions people, and maybe some criticism. I know i must be doing something wrong, after all i am a noob with this

the circles are good......but painted with the circles looks better and just solid tint looks better with tint.

I have only been pulled over once for my tails by some dink of a local cop. I've been stopped for other things since then and my tails haven't been brought up once. My dad followed me one day with the sun shining directly back at him and he said he could see my brake lights just fine. There are so many cars on the road that have similarly sized or smaller light output that it shouldn't matter. Just blend it with the rest of the car so the cops can't really tell.

Meh..I wouldn't care. I got the idea from Crazytaxi and modified his idea to fit my tastes.

What is the saying...Copying is the greatest form of flattery...or something along those lines.

For good reason, almost every tail light modification is guaranteed rice. Altezzas... clear... the LED style Atmosphere has is pushing it but it can slide since it's not really like typical Altezzas you see on every fart can'd econobox running 18 second 1/4 miles thinking they're the fastest shit on the road.

rowdy i really thought i had my mind made up, so much for that, I'll stop by the State PD to see what is and isnt legal, maybe bring a few pics with me

Ttop191 · 10-27-2009, 02:57 AM

stole rowdy's pic and made mine look a little more realistic, remember the blue will be black

Every state is different to some degree, but I personally would skip the cop shop. The reason I say this is this...I was told anything that reduces light output is illegal...but that is Wisconsin. This means no matter your idea for covering the tails, it could possibly be illegal. Now replacing them with altezzas or something completely different...that might be fine, I don't know, but it sounds like you really don't want to go down that road.

Oldsnut · 11-22-2009, 11:18 AM

wyskii · 08-15-2010, 01:42 PM

im a little lost though. did you just spray on nightshade onto the clear plastic casing? or is there something else you did too

heineck · 08-15-2010, 06:17 PM
