Blacked out the grill, rear skirt, and taillights

Hey guys just did a few simple mods on my own.. blacked out the grill, the rear skirt for a jdm look, I also smoked & glossed the taillights. Just got my coilovers today... so next.. I am going to powdercoat the rims black with a red lip.

Thanks fire.. You got it! 1st I covered up the reverse lights, got 1 Bottle of dark tint spray (can't remember the brand) enough for 3 coats depending on how dark you want to go. I got from the guys at Brampton- steeles & airport flea market. After it sets I used 3 coats of clear coat. You should have a pretty nice finish after that.. these simple steps should give you a professional look for $30.00 bucks

Taped it up.. sand it down, primer, followed by high quality black (satin or gloss depending on look you going for) provided at NAPA. Or if you want to go a simple root you can try the carbon fibre vinyl.

nice nice, i went with overlays with mine cause i was scared of overspray and getting an equal coat. have somewun hold your brakes at night and look at the taillights. Ull be able to see then cause i heard with the spray its common that some places dont get enough and some places get overlapped to much.
