So I spray tinted the tails and sidemarkers on my LS... it looks great for the most part. I'll be re doing it at some point when i have more time b/c the directions said streaks will disappear, but the didnt. I'll throw some day and night pics up tonight/tomorrow so you guys can see what it looks like. Aside from the stock rims, my black LS is pretty much blacked out now... just waiting to get that DARE license plate, haha.

 

pics?

 

ask and ye shall receive






that last one is just parking lights... plenty bright at night. and the brake lights look fine during the day.

let me know what you think

now, all im short is some gunmetal wheels and its time to move on to the turbo set up.

 

would you happen to know if those are legal in NY?

 

You'll also have to check federal DOT regulations for light output and have them tested, the DOT regs supercede state law. The only exception is if the state law is more restrictive (i.e. the lights are required to have a higher light output than the DOT regs).

 

An accident waiting to happen...picture this, a person driving on your street half stoned slams the back of your car while it's parked in front of your home because there were wasn't a reflection of the driver's headlights on your "supposed" back light reflectors. Sorry bro, but safety first IMO.

 

I dont like tinted lights ...but it looks like you did a good job and if its the look that you were going for ...cheers on a Job well done

 

youd have to be really retarded not to see them, it looks fine when light shines on it. and besides, i havent done the 3rd brake light, not sure what im gonna do with it... so thats fine...

 

Needs black rims (y) powdercoat then spraypaint i hear

 

very nice try to get a pic with it in reverse so we can see how well the back up lights show thru

 

just dont park on the street....i think it looks good man! you did a good job, your right you need some new rims though

 

Looks awesome

 

Where are the CLEAR lights that were on the Prototype Cobalt SS that was at the SEMA Auto Show?!?!?! Thats what i'm waiting for. hot hot hot

 

hello 1994!

 

Ok first if you knew anything about niteshades, you would know that light obviously shines through the taillights so the tails light up. This also means light can shine in illuminating the reflector....

And also, why does the person have to be half stoned? thats like saying people on drugs are the only people who crash into cars?

 

maybe your license plates are made of something different, but usually when headlights shine on a license plate, it throws a big reflection....and anyone half stoned has no business behind the wheel anyway. Personally I don't care what anyone says, if you get in an accident b/c your stoned, you deserve what happens to you.

Nice job on the taillights...looks awesome. Much like mine.

 

So yeah, im thinking about trying to paint my sides and tails. Problem is i dont know if i need to paint the outside or the inside. I took off my sides and the inside isnt gonna be easy to get at. If i paint the outside it will more than likely chip and fade. If i paint the inside it will still be more red than i want. are ppl just putting hella clear coat on?

 

You did a nice job, they look real good,BTW lowering springs required

 

hey sweettheshocker, i also live in PA and have been thinking about doing this, have you gotten pulled over or passed any cops that have gave you bad looks, just curious before i think too much about this

 

wow u brought this thread back almost 1 year ago exactly... you were one day off
