    Thumbs up Share your modified tail lights

    Sup all,

    I want to pinstripe my tail lights some how (VS), but first I wanted to see some customised (tint, pinstripes, reshaped, painted etc.) lights for inspiration and maybe get some tips on how to do it. I've seen a blue BA Falcon with colour coded pinstripes over the whole lights which looked pretty good... also some of those black VS altezza's with the clear cover removed - probably wouldn't last long but looked good!

    Everything except Monaro lights paired to a VT boot garnish

    Thanks

    Those look evil, I like them! They don't look as shiny as the rest of the car though; what did you use to paint them?

    My car's white so I'd toss up between a light (LIGHT) coat of Alaskan white over them or half in pinstripe (similar to a VL Calais)

    Nightshade tint they are in need of a good buffing since i painted them only did it a little buffing last time i buffed my car

    I have seen them on afew diffrent coloured cars and i only really like them on black cars on other colours they stand out like dogs balls if tinted

    Looks like they need a few coats of clear.

    Needs another coat, a good buff and some clear over the top, but first effort I'm pretty pleased. Also, since this pic, i have done the middle garnish to suit, it stood out way to much before.

    Not the best pic, with different light conditions they appear to be completely black, but yeah you should get the idea lol.
