Pictures New tails

***divinebarrel*** · 09-12-2007, 05:10 PM

well not really new tail lights just over lays but i just started tinting the Si's tails havent gotten to the right tail yet but wondering what u guys think (since i am in the driveres seat im not the one that has to look at them)
Should i tint them or does stock look better

and for shits the senta

when i did them on the sentra at first i was not crazy about them but then i left them for a week and i grew to love them so what do you guys think about the civic tint or no tint

UncleSid · 09-12-2007, 05:13 PM

tint.

***GETxERxDONE*** · 09-12-2007, 05:24 PM

do the other! but cut out the reverse lights.

***divinebarrel*** · 09-12-2007, 05:42 PM

update
here is the car finished (the right one looks lighter cause the sun is setting on that side) i think they came out pretty good

and here is a picture to show that the light output is almost not affected at all

I'm liking the tint! I kinda wanna try this out on my NHBP Si...just nervous about the light output and liability crap. But with your brakes on it looks stock to me.

like shown in the picture light output is veryveryvery slightly affected. At night no one would ever be able to tell
(once it gets dark later this night if u want i will take another pic with the break lights actually on instead of just the tailslights on)

Looks clean man,

***nycclaye*** · 09-12-2007, 08:01 PM

looks great w/tint. if you plan on keeping your stock emblems on, then stay with that tint. But you could tint them like this as well, but I think it'll only look good with the red emblems otherwise it'll look outta place on a NHBP.

just my .02

cypress · 09-12-2007, 08:04 PM

keep it tinted, looks real good.

***SiAzul*** · 09-12-2007, 08:05 PM

what did you use, Overlays? or just regular tint?

***divinebarrel*** · 09-12-2007, 08:05 PM

those look real good ud think it came factory like that but i do think the blackout has already grown on me ...i must say though with the white thats looking ****** sweet

overlays takes a little bit of skill to make them fit and look the way they should but the beauty of them is that u can rip them off and redo them as many times as u need, i can pretty much get them on the first or second try now

***nycclaye*** · 09-12-2007, 08:18 PM

thanx divinebarrel. Did you cut out your reverse light?? That's the only thing I wish I would have done. mine looks "pinkish" from behind now. so you bought the "pre-cut"? Good find. When I first bought my pre-cut from lamin-x I couldn't get it to line up properly. it took me 2hrs and I gave up. great job doing the work!!

repped

1chin3s3_b0i · 09-12-2007, 08:21 PM

the fully red tails look pretty goood

yes they are precut to cover the entire tail
i have purchased overlays from this same seller on ebay before for my sentra and the product was great ...i actually crashed my sentra then went to the junk yard pulled the (unharmed) overlays off and applied them my my girls 05 sentra and they looked better then they did on mine actually

7AndrewPD · 09-12-2007, 08:31 PM

For the guy with the lamin-x what darness did you get?
