So I was messing around with some S5 tails *pics*

Well I got some broken S5 tails that I repaired into great shape and changed just a bit.

I honestly don't really like them on the car -but I thought the idea was cool. I also fucked up and removed the inside part of the lens close to the plate, this is a no no The turn signals had to be painted to hide the cracks that I put bondo over and sanded down to look flush again... you cannot really tell they were cracked. The brake/ driving lights are LED

If I can somehow fix the plate lights I might leave them on.

sorry for the poor quality phone pics... I'll put some better ones up later.

i take it your orange corners where cracked? I had cracked mine. I recently repaired the chip with bodyfiller , masked the corners off and painted the black trim black.. and just left the crack thru the orange.

this is an old pic


If you smoke the corners, it will hide the visible crack some,.

I was considering this... they have actually grown on me a bit the way they are... I think I'm going to remove them and buff them out a bit more and add some filler here and there and make the corners glossy black instead of flat.
