My New Taillights!!!

Here are my new taillights Hope you all enjoy.





Just a random pics of me screwin around.









Just a funny side story if anybody cares. Since I got my car, my mom has been complaining and yelling at me for putting money in to my car. Well, today I stopped by her at work, and I overheard her gloating on how I'm working oh so hard on my car, and how she is so proud of me. And now like 5 minutes ago, she asked me to e-mail her a few photos to her work so she can show everybody. I am starting to think my mom is falling in love with my cobalt.

na, it really wasn't that hard. The hardest part was trying to tape in a circle to cover all the white for the reverse lights. The lights took 4 coats of VNT Nightshade, and a coat of clear coat.

Thanks for the compliments guys :

I wouldn't charge to help out a fellow css.net member. I'd have to think about it, and see when I got time. Otherwise, I could always help you out with doing it too.


Thanks for the compliments guys Keep em' comin.

Dammm that does look pretty sexy, I love the headlights and that was a great idea with taping off the reverse lights? Stupid question, did you take the lights out and then paint them? How hard was it to take them out if you did

I had thaught of doing that to mine before I painted mine but then decided it was just easier to paint the entire thing. That and I got a alot of feedback to just paint the entire thing. Anyways it looks good.
