Here is the album I have of my car.

http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4289172301

Basically, I do surgery on the tail light, I remove the old amber and clear lense, I paint and all kinds of other stuff, and I re-install a custom fabricated lense.

Here is the How-To I made on the process. http://www.6gc.net/index.php?action=howto&itu=96

NOW, I need some money, and am going to make another set. Tomorrow I am starting work on them, and am willing to take a 'special order' of somebody has something ... strange they want done to the tail light. After I finish, If I make them the same as mine, they will be $130 shipped + your stockers after you install the ones I send.


Trust me, these things look REALLY great on a Coupe. You can look at my profile and see some more pics of mine.

My tails are really not in that great of shape. I didn't know what I was doing when I made them, and they still look so much better than stock it's not even funny.

Now, I DO know what I'm doing, and they should look Really great.

I will be starting on them tomorrow, Whoever wants them can have them, but if you want something special done, it's gonna cost extra.

Thanks

Jon

Can you make replicas of the Curren tails, if so I'd be interested in that.

The curren tails look like what I make, only they have the clear lense tinted. Trust me, the ones I make look better without the tint. The stock tails look really dull and dark,mine look bright and... nice.

So you're saying that you think the clear looks better than the dark colored Curren? I love the way the dark ones look. Also, I don't know how good the clear would look with my paint color, I think the dark would accent it better, maybe its just me though.

Well, all I can tell you is they look great on my car. Besides, I'm charging about half what the Currens would cost. wink.gif

(granted, they aren't going to be the same, but still cheaper.)

I also smoked my roto tool today, so I have to go and get a new one tomorrow.

If you send me the stock tails, I'd be more than happy to do work on them for you, but the JDM's I'd rather not possible mess up.

Just a suggestion, they look good the way you have them but to mimic the curren tails you should try going over them with tint, not so much on the red but more on the clear, if you look at a pic you'll know what Im talking about.

I thought about it when I made mine, and even sorta halfassed it to some degree to see what it would look like, but I decided to go clear. They do honestly look great. But this is why I opened this thread. If somebody has a suggestion (or an order) I can do it. I'll make them anodyzed blue on the inside for a price,lol!

By the by, As of tonight, I burnt up my second roto tool, so this project has been posponed until I can sell another set of turn signals. That will give me the cash needed to buy a heavy duty roto tool.

Thanks

Yes, It would be no problem at all. If you wanted them, I could easily do them. BUT, I need to buy a powerful rotary tool to do the project properly, so it will be a while. I have started on the turn signals. they will hopefully pay for the rotary tool.
