Started the de-ricing of my tezzas...

[MorphiasX]

Thanks

Hmmm... didnt think about a how-to... there isnt much to it... All ya do is LIGHTLY sand the part your painting with wet/dry sandpaper(the dark gray/black one)... Then mask off the parts ur not painting, and tape a bag around the back... Then put 2-3 light coats of the paint on, letting it dry for atleast like 2 hours between each coat... Then put 2 coats of clearcoat.... Let it dry completely, and throw em on... I can put a how-to together if you think one is needed...

the whole thread is pretty much a how-to. just gotta turn 6 pages into 1 or 2 post.

that is insanely hot... NICE frickin job on that man!!! I love it. I'm thinking i want to mod the tail lights on my Z now *holds his chin pensively*

 

[anfrey]

damn steve, they look great

 

[Declectic]

hey, looks good. . . still kind of ricey IMO... but hey i still like it... nice job


still stickin w/my OEM tails though, lol

 

[anfrey]

i'd rather have oem tails too... but great job in dericifying... i have this thing for EH hatchies and their rearend. . . ever since i first saw this blue snatch with the stock tails... i dunno why, but i love how the amber looked with the blue, it was very very nice...

oh btw, i just bought some diecast cars... a suzuka ms-t, an ferrari enzo, and a "super smooth" 40s-50s flatbed pickup

[slambed_civic]

i didnt..... but i know about the trunk... a friend has a ford truck similar to that...and the ferrari is a given

 

[Spencey]

I wanted to do something with new tails, but so many of them look pink when the light up, so I don't know

 

[york2600]

Those look like the 50/50 altezzas I keep seeing on 5th gen Accords. They look nice. Even if altezzas are ricey or whatever I still say they look good.

 

[DirtyD]

I'm just taking the tape off of my tails that I did exactly like those. Hopefully it turns out like the blue hatches.

If you were to use a red bulb they wouldn't light up orange. Ever learn the " R O Y G B I V " filter principle in physics? The red filer allows some orange through, and seeing as the factory bulb is a orangy/yellow color thats what you see. hope that helps you out.

 

[MorphiasX]

They dont light up orange... the picture came out that way though...

 

[integeritis]

if you like sleepers and Altezzas are on (slow, bad, rice, ya ya) wouldent it be a good idea to put them on your so fast street car
