strezz.. Stop listening to Chris at the shop.. He's a really cool great guy and all but he has a really weird taste in modding cars. I presume if he told you to weld your diff (not necessary) you'd do it too?

lol. I am happy you took off that skyline crap. Good luck with your car, keep it classy

It's difficult to do it yourself, I tried on my coupe and I messed up pretty bad.. Good luck with that though!

You gotta pay to play if you want it done right, if u mess up you're gonna have to order a whole new set. Installation shouldn't be more than 50$ at a tint shop

I'll take my chances. If I can put my body kits and make it it by cutting and grinding and painted and took 3 weeks but I did it so this shouldn't be any harder and if I messed up well just paint the tails gt style my self or $100 for someone to do it after all if to install $50-80 then if I messed up only going to cost me a little more for someone to paint it

Ok finally done....well not really. I did the driver side just fine but I fuc*ed up the passanger .... there are wrinkles on the top corner so I decided to take the whole thing off.

A friend of mine here in AZ introduce me to a local guy name Doug and live in fountain hills.

He charge a reasonable price and I think it's pretty cheap for a very nice job of painting the tail light. If anyone in AZ interested to get theirs done PM me and I will give his number.

The tail light still need to be buff or what not once the paint dry to get it shine and clear looking. I have to go back and see him again probably next week.

So here is my final pictures of the tail light and I really love it .










Gotta wait for night to come for night shot

oh just FYI, that trunk light is actually the 03/04 version and Doug made a perfect circle to make it look like an 05/06
