haha sorry man i was going to but i wanted to do something to the car and got excited about the sportlines so i put the rear ones on. i will def be waiting for ya on the front ones cause i think those are quite a bit more involved than the rear. im gonna take pics now and upload them!

 

Now you just need some rims and tires.

 

haha seriously. ok so here is the difference it has made in the ls. oh and are the springs supposed to look like this (3rd pic)?

 

It looks good, but you seriously need to get the front on asap. You have most of your weight shift to the rear,its not designed to be that way haha, grant it the rear is stiffer, i would highly suggest to get the front on right away. Looks awesome:

 

I just used regular spray paint to black them out and I did not use a clear coat. I really like the way it looks with just the smaller ones blacked out!

 

yeah that was what i was thinkin also lol. so hopefully it all works out for this weekend so we can get those things on there.

oh yeah and iceman your lights look really good. i like the looks of just the smaller ones blacked also

 

For those of you that are using Night Shade and blacking out your tail lights, I just thought you would like to know that the law in California says your tail lights must be visable from 300 ft away. Keep that in mind when doing this mod if your worried about tickets.

 

Yea man its so damn hot today, its like 103 up here in the high desert. Im sweatin bullets LoL

Thats why I only did my reverse lights

 

hey thanks hot rod i was curious about that. so do you think we could lightly night shade the main lights and if they are still visible 300ft away would that be legal?

 

thank you for the important piece of info. that is good to know. I am going goin to black mine out slightly, you will be able to see it from 300ft at least.

Can you see your reverse light? What type of spray paint did you use? Hopefully its not the one im thinking.....cause you might have some problems later on. Did you sand your lights at all with a fine grit? I am really diggin the lights, I just like to ask the paint questions cause not too many people know how paint really works(not saying you dont, but in auto body they gave us a huge book strictly on the types of paint, what the adhear too and other stuff)

Haha we have a whole page of the mods we did/going to do in the thread

 

I used duplicolor high gloss spray paint, it can be removed with most paint thinners. You can still see my reverse lights so its all good. I sanded them lightly and I like these pages of mods dont get me started about my new downpipe and header, my car sounds like a beast. I most likely will have the loudest non/SC balt at the meet.

 

Good thing you got good paint. I saw this picture of some dude who painted his black (it was like a year ago) well the paint he used, has an acidic property so it can bond to metal better without primer, well he did that on his light, and it melted! haha, funny ****. You should clear coat them, I have some duplicolor clear coat if you want to use it.

 

Yeah you should be ok. Remember you still have those cops out there that are A$$Holes but as long as your not drawing attention to yourself I think you guys will be ok.

 

Woot!!! Meet is only in 2 1/2 more weeks!! Can't wait!!!

 

Yea its gonna be awesome, im excited!!!

 

i did my taillights very lightly w/ nightshades and i think its perfect! i did it kinda complicated but i think it was worth it. first i taped off the whole face(the part you see when standing behind the car) of the outter tails and i sprayed the sides only w/ 3 coats, along w/ taping off the reverse lights and spraying them w/ 3 coats. then i sprayed the 3rd brakelight and side markers w/ 4 coats, because i figured i wouldnt get hasseled too much for it. finally i untaped the outters and sprayed the entire light w/ one coat. i also used 3-4 layers of clear w/ some wet sanding.
they are a lil darker in person, but here you can see the difference.

 

^^^That looks like a such a fun meet I was there

 

i can see your car right over mine.

 

Damn that Arrival Blue car is SEXY has HELL. Who's car is that?????

I think it was the only Arrival Blue at the meet that day.

 

what blue car? all i see is a silver one!!!! post 420 for the second meet thread in a row.

 

You mean that Silver Surfer Wanna be one on the left. lol

 

 

By the way, any body seen or heard from Andy lately. I PMed him almost 2 weeks ago but still no answer.

 

no but i was thinking about giving him a call. maybe i will tomorrow.

 

I think they look nice. Not too much, and just enough to make a difference.
