Looks Great
I Like It Alot Dude

...how'd you get only the 3rd brake light to light up?

just press the brake pedal with the car off

oh...never knew!!!! anther ?...I can't find any sand paper above 350 grit...where did you get yours from...sounds dumb cuz in high school shop I used to be able to get it all the time!

Wally world, autozone, pepboys, just about any where. Just look in the automotive paint section. If you still cant fins them, look for the assorment pack(not emery) they usually have higher grits inside(320,800,1000,2000) If not, ill pick some up and send it to you(with money in return) or you can send them here and Ill send them back next day

cool beans...thanx

pics of how the reverse lights look now?

I like these tinted, not such a big fan of other lights though

It really isn't that bad at all. Plus I didn't tint the 3rd brake light just for a little insurance.

it's funny they almost look tinted red! I quite like only the reverse + sidemarkers tinted..

its because niteshades is a dark red tint, so when used lightly it is smoked but when used heavy its red(or enough coats are used)

as as i said i had to make mine darker..

looks good :twothumbs

Looks good! Though, you should consider debadging, going wingless, and droping it... Plus do a plate cover. Here are some pics of one That I did. Another members G5 GT...
It is such a clean look for these cars IMO!

I used regular nite shades spray, alot of thin coats, I dont remember the number. No oven baking, no clear. Just painted em, put em back in about 3 hours later. After a day, hit them with some light rubbing compound. They are almost as glossy as stock. Turned out great!!!
