so here is another good day in atlanta today, beautiful weather! so i've decided to go to summit racing and picked up a few things to niteshade my tails. its dark now so ill take some pics of them on the car first thing in the morning tomorrow


materials



prepped for wetsand with 1000grit paper, much easier to sand while they are still on the car


dull


naked a$$


1st coat


2nd coat


3rd coat


4th coat


after 2 coats of clear


almost dried 100%, getting ready to put rub some meguiar's compound to give it a high gloss

 

Holy crap that is fkn dark...

 

damn i hope the cops aren't strict by you

 

Those are cop magnets use to have them on my old accord I had to pay so many fix a tickets I just ended up taking them off...If you do keep em just go a bit lighter maybe two shades light?

 

Yea they attract donut bags, but ive had them dark like this on my 03 altima b4 i totalled it, the cops dint bother me at all.

Ive had a few cop driven behind me for quite a distance but i guess ive been lucky the whole time, or they probably dont care

 

I would've stopped after 2...

 

Never really understood this.. The stock look of our tailights are just toooo nice to darken up..

to each his own tho!

 

Pics of them installed and lit up? Looks pretty sweet sitting on the ground. Interested to see how bright these are at night.
