how do you get the lights soo dam glossy? lmao

clear coat? plastic polish?

 

I am the man bro...lol


1500gt sand paper with water and 3m polishing compound

 

Sorry guys. Those are not modernized, you just removed the refractors and polished the lenses.



This is modernized:

 

The term "MODERNIZED" means to make them look abit more uptodate.

That is called "modified"!

 

........or modericed

john ny

 

do they sell those aftermarket. Or did they do them themselfs??

 

bingo

 

everyone on rx7clubs is cocky.. who cares what you call it.. lol

 

I have mixed feelings about this mod but if they were splitting in the first place. Kudos to putting some effort into making them look better. I'm re-sealing and wet sanding my S5 tail lights this Wednesday. Using the diffusers tho.

anyone know the best method of wet sanding tail lights? I have never attempted it before or even wet sanded for that matter. lol.

 

I have mixed feeling about removing the refractors. I'm no about to take the time to do it to mine, unless i'm doing the LED ring style. Those do give me a boner.

 

ring style is the ****. I will make a set myself soon and do a write up on it.


As far as wetsanding simply go to Napa and get their kit. It has a pad with a drill attachment and u keep it wet and polish away. The **** is awesome.

 

Just modernized my tails last week. Holy **** that was stressful.

 

its quite obvious there is no way to classify the lights because there was never a "OFFICIAL" thread posted.

once a official thread has been posted it is the law of the land.

ducking modernized, hynoptized, gymbalafized who gives a flying Duck, lol

 

Thats actually pretty sweet. Can this be done with a 86 N/A GXL?

 

are you kidding that my post was edited for swearing?

I mean really you have nothing better to do ? If IB wants no swearing tell them to install a filter.

 

^lmao

 

Has anyone blacked out some modernized tails? I have a pearl white FC and am thinkin blacked out modernized tails would look pretty sexy. Pics would be nice, thanks guys.

 

Has anyone tried installing a resistor in series with the "modernized" tails to dim the lights a bit. If so what resistance did you use?
Thanks

 

I like your antenna... And the crack in your passenger speaker cover looks similar to the state of Georgia. Nice directions though.

 

That's nice if you want to change your tail lights around, but you didn't "modernize" them. You DE-MODERNIZED them. Going for the 1920's look?




Diffusers weren't invented till later...

 

I don't see why people are into this look. I think it looks like ghetto ricer ebay crap. I think s5 lights look pretty modern as is to be honest.

 

My last car was "modernized" when I got it lol, wasn't a real fan of em, really really bright, and stock S5 tails look much better IMO.

 

What? There was definitely an official thread posted... Where do you think the "official" name came from? Welcome to early 2005 when I made this thread:

https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...ven+modernized

 

welcome to sarcasm 2009, it was a joke, man do we have to spell everything out around here?

your thread was also not labeled OFFICIAL, which as we all know is the only way to become law.


once again that is a joke incase you decide to dig this up another month from now and reply, lol

 

Ha, I didn't dig this up. It was halfway down the first page. Either way, you said there was no way to classify the lights--which isn't true. And obviously the only reason I care is because I came up with it.
