Why does the RCK cruise have to be on the same night as the showdown? Argh...

Nice VN beefcream! Good to see a fellow white VN Berlina in Adelaide
But damn are those rear lights dark. After bein defected for both blue parkers and tinted rear lights i might suggest you try using some masking tape around the reflectors then use some cotton wool and nail polish remover on the tint on those reflectors. If you untint the reflectors you cant be defected for tinted rear lights, and it looks good too in my opinion. Although you still need to be able to see the brake lights and indicator from 30m away in the daytime...

[beefcream]

does that include all brakes lights..lol wat about one in the back window? were u drivin wid parkers on? how did u get defected for that

looks good mate , I have too say nice tail lights and ya got the same deck as me so im sure that looks the goods in the vn dash.... nice work

[1991_Vn2nV]

I got pulled over by police and they checked over my car, asking me to put my lights on and obviously they saw the blue parkers. You can see them when ur headlights are on as well, but its not easy to see.

Each brake light should be able to be seen from 30m back in the daytime. Its not a matter of having 1 brake light that u can see out of the 5 on your car lol. Same goes for reversing lights and indicators too. But your rear lights are tinted pretty massively, so i cant see you going too long without getting defected eventually because it is pretty dangerous and if you get a cop behind you it wuldnt be good.

and its also a good excuse for someone to use if they run into the back of you

[flyen]

nice vn you got there

thank god you didnt get a canon
i really want those twin tips

good luck raising the cash for the 18ns and ss kit

Yeah thats the other thing...insurance companies are total bitches and in a rear end collision where its basically ALWAYS 100% the other persons fault, if you have 3rd party fire and theft or even full coverage, they might not pay out because of the tail lights. & when i had my tinted rear lights on, i had several complaints about people not being able to see me brake as well as ppl having a go at me for not indicating when in fact i did...

Actually i got into a rather large argument with a security guard in an R31 skyline who says i didnt use my indicator (he was 30m away when i changed lanes & there were no cars around me anyway) and then chased me down regency road right up my ass and then i did a U-Turn, he does and does a massive burnout too and he then blocked my exit from a carpark. I got out the car and the guy went nuts...right in front of my ex girlfriend too who was only 16 at the time. I was in school uniform so he then grabbed his phone and said he was reporting me to the cops and my school...So i was like ok, and i rang his security guard company and they fired him.

Fuc*ing psycho. All cause he reckons i didnt use my indicator.

mate you got urself a clean berlina there, im liking the tinted rear tail lights, now im just wondering cos i own a berlina aswell, are your black bumber areas faded, as mine are pretty much grey and im thinking of respraying them. i hate having to put armoral on them everytime i wash the thing

[beefcream]

yea the grey bumber shit fades.. sounds like a good idea to spray it! looks sweet after a wipe with armoral ay
