Hello,

Ive been doing some experimenting with S5 taillights, I have done this to a few sets for local folks and was wondering if anyone here would be interested in having this service, what i do to the lights is remove the inner defusers, reseal the lenses, wetsand then tint the lenses, after tinting them i will ensure that the tint lasts a long time and looks ultra smooth and shinny by spraying them with real ppg automotive clearcoat in my paintbooth at my bodyshop. The clearcoat will then be sanded and buffed to a super shine.
What im planning on doing is buying a bulk amount of tail lights so those who dont have any stock ones, i can provide a set. What i will do is have extra stock of finished sets so if you have a un chipped or cracked set you can send in yours and i will send you the new finished set..for a discounted price for the cores.
so here are your options,
1. buy a set without any cores for full price. TBA

2. if for some reason you want your specific set done then send them to me and i will do them, however the turn around wont be as fast due to me having to find time to do them. discounted price due to receiving your cores

3. Send me your core tails and i will send you a completed set this will be a fast turn around. discounted due to receiving your cores. if your car is a daily driver then you can send me full price amount for a new set and i will send out a set i have in stock and when you get them you can mail your cores back to me and i will return the core portion of your payment. It is very important that your core tail lights are NOT cracked and cannot have ANY chipped edges. because keep in mind your cores will be used to modify and send to other people so they must be in good condition. minor scratches/fading is ok as i can repair that during the process. If you are not sure if any blemishes on your cores are acceptable It may be a good idea to send me detailed pictures before you ship them to me. If i receive your cores and they are not usable then the core value will not be refunded and i will ship you back the lights at your cost.
I will have a better idea of how much this service will cost when my bulk vendor gets back to me on how much ill be paying for a bulk amount of sets to keep in stock.
here are some pictures of what they will look like, i will get some detailed up close shots of them later today so let me know what you guys think so i can get an idea of weather or not i should start doing this. Also if you want your tails tinted lighter or darker i can do that but turn around wont be quite as fast due to having to do a custom order. Thanks

Very nice looking... You should send me a PM when you find out how much it'd be for a new set with out the cores.

 

thanks, ill be sure to send you a pm then

 

my car is black too it looks nice tinted. Nice paint too I'm assuming you did that? Nice reflection

 

thanks. car was acctually really dirty when those pics were taken too, when its clean the reflections twice as nice...and yes 200 hours of body work and paint time done by me..these tail lights really really set the car off. its the perfect finishing touch that it needs..

 

looking forward to hearing from you on this

 

great! i forgot to mention that if you do not want them tinted i can just remove the defussers and clearcoat them to make them look really nice. also i can make the tint as dark or light as you want

 

dude I guarantee you will do much better if you offer a good LED retrofit setup.

 

anyone else interested?

 

I would probably be interested in a full price set to replace my s4 ones at around $200-250 bucks... Im not sure, what price are you thinking on these things?

 

Depending on price, I also might be interested.

 

Do you have any pictures of the lights without a tint? cause I'm interested too!

 

no i dont sry, just so you know though, the lights will be wayyy to bright without the tint.. that is why the lights have the diffusers from the factory

 

do you sell the lights with the modifications? or just the service you do to them? because I dont have s5 lights yet.

 

any pics of the tinted ones at night??

 

read over my first post again, it will tell you all about what your options are, i do offer new sets if you dont have any.. I will try to get some night pics up soon..

 

i'd definately be interested.
but not anytime soon, financial issues wouldn't you know it.

 

there a price on these yet?

 

i want some s5 tails name the price

 

those look pretty killer

 

they do look good but they border the ricer look a bit.
these are easy to do tho just drop ur tails in a bucket of hot water to pull them apart, pull the plastic out then reseal them closed. theres a rite on this just use the search..

your car looks good tho smooth

 

i heard you can stick them in the oven for a few too.
not sure if works well though.
