I debated for over a year about tinting my tails. Didn't really want to follow the herd but also didn't want to remain stock. Well when Altiery54 came out for the Ohio Meet and crashed at my place we did a little tinting on his car. Got a lil into it and we did mine as well. Now I know some have blacked out, others have smoked them, and some left the reverse a bright white spot and blacked the rest. Well I kinda blended the last two. The red on my tails has two light shades of Niteshades and the reverse has one light shade and cleared them to hell. Shouldn't take a how-to to clue people in on how I did it... FAF!

Anyway, here's some cellphone shots since I have no digital at the moment. Lighting is optimum, but you can see it's a nice subtle touch.

 

looks pretty good my man

 

Congrats on the marriage and the sexy tails.

 

congratulations?? i can't make out if the last two numbers are "08."

 

nice plates

 

wow them look great mang heres mine

 

how did u do ur tails??

Grats on your marriage dude!

And yeah I also didn't want to do mine either.....but yeah...

 

Thanks for the comments everyone! My wife and I were married 10-11-08. She's actually a member here for those that don't know; Cobaltchk06.

Removed the tails, cleaned w/ rubbing alcohol, taped off the reverse light, wiped down w/ alcohol again, sprayed one coat, dry, remove tape, spray second coat, dry, clear, clear, clear, clear. Let it all dry over night and reinstalled.

 

wow it looks great mr. wickedss ur the man i wish i could be like u

 

looks good man... hope to see ya soon at another meet...well lol once it warms back up

 

smartass

 

You didn't trailer that to Ohio...?

 

He trailer'd it recently because of broken axle #2

 

Congrats on the marriage!!

i want to tint mine but i'm still unsure, i dont know if it would look right with a sliver car..

 

Congrats on the Marriage dude, shoot me a PM let me know how that TVS is working out for ya if you still have it, i might be out your way in a few weeks

Love the rear end of the car thats the exact look im going for

 

fix ur spoiler lol. but the tails look great. i just recently had the urge to black out my tails, fronts, and rear side markers

 

you should smoke em don't black em out. Won't look right on silver IMO

 

Hey, it's fitted the best it can be w/o tearing it off and having a shop fix the misalignment that RKSport gave me

I beg to differ, blacked out looks SICK on my wife's 2.2 coupe

 

then tell rk sport to send you a new one and make them pay for any body work needed on your trunk/rear quarters

 

Aftermarket parts don't work like that. No different than someone with a body kit that is ill-fitting. They can't make a company pay for the work to get it to fit. But enough of the wing, it's not the focus of the thread


I'll get the pics from my wife's car in a min.

Here's my wife's coupe; silver 2.2 w/ blacked out tails and headlights:

 

congrats "wicked" on your marriage

 

Thanks Jimmy!

 

looks good man. here's mine
