The one we were looking at just melted layers of ABS together .01 each layer... plenty smooth enuf for high build primer and then paint. I do surface machining at .005" passes

Well if someone can find me a smashed 06+ tail or sell me one for cheap Ill get started. Just need the inner chrome bezel to be intact. Then once I have everything mocked up, wired, and fit Ill cut open my tail, swap bezels, and seal the light back up.

Cops are dicks around here, not gonna be riding around with 1 tail light, while I work on the other one....

yo flip, youre awesome <3

ive wanted this for the G's since they came out in 03.. I was only 13 years old then, and i loved the skyline. but when they came out with these, they second circle didnt light up. it was always off with me.

i dont care for the 06 lights cause of that little fuccin button on the driver side for trunk release. so that kills it for me. MAYBE you should try and do a fab up for a mixture of the 06 bevels or w/e, with the 03-05 circlular reverse lights and w/o the button? just imagen it in your head... real clean.. and i know youre all about being merticulous and ****.

anywho. you should offer the whole light housing done.. or just the smaller LED ring and let ppl buy it as a DIY kit..

you got some options, bro. make you some $$

if you need more ideas, let me know, or ask any other G owner.. we all have thought of something custom for our cars that noone has and we dont have the abilitiy to make..

GL!!!! <3 LOL NO HOMO

Thats what Im going for, the Skyline look.

No updates... not starting til the car is parked in the garage for the winter... another 2 or 3 months. All the parts are machined and ready to go.
