I am thinking of tinting a set of ftp's. what do they look like....?

 

I would also like to see this

 

This isn't real but you get a good enough idea of it. Freshly taken picture and photoshopped for your pleasure


Original pic with untinted ftps



Photoshopped tinted ftps

 

it works well with the black trim

 

thanks a lot.....I like it a bunch...I am getting the FC painted Charcoal next weekend and i am going to tint the ftp's and have clear-clear lenses not white clear clear with black background it'll look awesome, i am so sick of running without FTP's....

 

I doubt it'll make much difference, since the area behind them is already dark. There's no light being reflected back out like there is with the other lights.

And Photoshop is not going to give you a realistic idea of how light will be affected, because tinting only affects light passing through the lense, not what gets reflected off it.

 

well i've decided to do this for real

anyways, i took the ftps out, took pics of them in original form, just cleaned, and ill take pics of them when im all done

 

I painted mine, and tinted the turn signal and side marker lights. I think it looks really good, ill get some pics in a little bit

 

A buddy of mine (BCTY) on here had his FTP's and all running lights etc blacked out on a red S4. Looks good if done right.

 

heres a pic. its really dirty right now, and looks like crap under the neon lights.

 

Doesn't look transparent any more.

 

heres a pic, looks great on red. I tryed it on a black car just didnt do it for me

 

that does look awesome on the red car.

 

That looks awsome on the red, I bet it would look pretty sweet on blue too, how did you go about doing that?

 

Man that looks nice......

ps. nice burnouts in the road.....

 

nice!!! nice burnouts too...

 

you buy a spray can paint type thing called nightshades and just spray on usein very light coats and keep going till u get the darkness u like.. The light still comes though fine.. not as bright mind you but meh.

Looks simple enough

 

can't you just use the stick on tint at auto zone?

 

hmm never heard of that stuff before. I use testors transparent black paint, its from hobby shops and meant for tinting rc car windows hehe

 

I'm sorry about posting this in a semi-unrelated thread, but I thought it was unneccesary to create an entire new thread about it.

I recently placed lights behind my FTP lenses, and I'm making a writeup about it. I'm wondering if its worth it to finish this writeup, because I don't want to waste my time if no one is going to read it.



Interested?

double post...

 

triple post...

 

meh whatever works i guess its pretty simple.. I wouldnt trust the normal stick on type tint on the outside of the FTP. I doubt it would last long

 

yeah do a writeup and post it lots of people like the lights in the ftp's...
