there's also this stuff my buddy used on his focus to do the same thing its a film that goes on the light called Lamin-X www.lamin-x.com they make a whole bunch of pre-cut peices for alot of cars, not rx7's, but they sell uncut sheets of it. it also protects the light against rocks or anything else reasonible that would hit the light. i was going to use this to do the same thing

anyways looks cool man nice job

<vent>I bought that stuff from Lamin-x... it sucks REALLY bad. No joke. Its nearly impossible to put on without getting bubbles (and yes, I have lots of experience putting vinyl down and such).. You HAVE to do it wet, atleast that way you can't SEE the bubbles. AND once its on, it isn't yellow enough and ends up looking like a crappy white bulb rather than a yellow one... Even with my YELLOW bulb it still looked weak at best. I pulled that crap off and went with the whites... </vent>

did you spray both the inside and outside of the lens? and how much for 2 bottles shipped to 92677? thanks

micah

Spraying the inside would be borderline impossible to get right.... plus, there's no way of cleaning the inside of the lense.. I wish there was. And if there is.. please let me know.

8 bucks for 2 bottles, shipped. When I get them, I'll come back to this thread and send out paypal addy's. cool?

I did this exact setup to my car with yellow bulbs. They are extremely yellow. I now have some Piaa Plasma Ion Yellow H3C bulbs that almost shine a yellow-green.

Edit : I used a spray glass tint that I bought at a local arts store though. Same end result. I also sanded the housings really well before hand.

I'll be doing the same thing for my foglights. I know you used one bottle for both but what exact number of coat(s) per lens?

micah

One coat.. Two coats makes it look really orange. I might re-do mine. Check the My Car link in my sig for pics.

Where did you find the fog lights in the first place?

Thanks for the info, they do look very orange... but on a black car it would stand out alot IMO. I am liking the progress on your project. I know how Oregon weather is like I've been there many times, it does suck (from a person who lives in Southern California... ).

You can check up on the 2nd Gen For sale / wanted section. They pop up once in a while there.

Ok, thanks.

Be prepard to buy a 89-91 front bumper to go along with them. They WILL NOT fit your 88 GTU.
