yea you did!!!

 

Dont rub it in smartass! You do want that exhaust shroud right?

 

looks good when lit, but I dont like how it shows up round during the day. If there was a way to make it look stock unlit then like that when lit i'd be all over it. Good work though man

 

I'd imagine it does look stock during the day, but I'll play with some ideas and post the pics and you can decide for yourselves.

 

"You do want that exhaust shroud right? "
Huh??

 

Never Mind.

 

Like I said man, Blackouts own j00...

Think about it, on a lot of our cars, what else is red or yellow? (Disregard if you have a red or yellow car.)

Nothing... Clear lenses all around and tint the rear lights.

I dunno how clear tail lights's look on a silver car, but with the black center panel, I don't think it'd look smooth... On a black car, maybe though...

 

That window tint film with the silver or shinney side out
will conseal everything under the outer cover. and when lit up, only then will one see the lights. like a 2 way mirror. does that make sense ?

 

Nah... No silver, I'd just as soon have clear tail lights...

I wanna combine the roundness with this:

So that they show round when on, and black when off... But that square has gotta go.

Probably just gotta spray the black paint with the circles covered up in tape, then remove the tape and spray the tint... Maybe put the circles back on and spray some silver so that any light that does not go out the hole gets reflected back and then out the hole to make it brighter when on...

Dunno how to make a black reflector though... Is that even possible?

 

I fund the lights REALLY nice... That's one thing I like a bit less about 1st gens is they really screwed up the look of the rear with those lights :S ... ESPECIALLY that that's what everybody will see because they can't catch up to these cars :P
NE ways, the idea is very good .. Except it would have to be black during the daytime. And maybe you could make it match with the center plastic ? making it blend in ??

Eric.

 

Good idea there The Dude.
I like the idea,keep working,will be interested to changing mine soon.

 

If you paint the backs with a red then they should look stock durring the day, and still light up round when you aply the brakes.

 

Dave Randall w/ a TII first gen has them on his.

they WOULD look amazing, except for the fact that that stupid red reflector in the middle catches the corners of the circles and lights up. Instead you get a goofy dumbell looking thing. We are trying to figure out how to get rid of it.
