Today was a fairly boring day, so I decided to smoke out my turn signals and side markers with the smoke out taillight wrap kit I bought from ebay a week ago. Then I went home and got started. So far everything looks pretty good considering it's not painted (reason why I didn't paint them is because you can't just unpaint turn signal!!). I took some pix with my camera phone so detail looks pretty lame. Tell me what you all think
Although the pictures make the turns and side markers seem likes it's all black, it's really not. It's actually a really noticeable dark amber color. I think it looks cool and I had no problems with creases or air bubbles. This post has been edited by netrata: Jan 26, 2007 - 9:11 PM -------------------- |

I used some silver vinyl on my turns, the vinyl was thin enough that orange will still show through

I bought the vinyl from a local sign shop and it matched surprisingly well. I also used some for eyebrows and to cover my third brake light.
PS netrata nice job with the tint. |

*UPDATE*
I took some clearer pix with my cybershot and I also have some goodies to show Yup, I finally received my extensions from chrisc today and went ahead and put them and the skirts into the car and off to the body shop that will be installing them on the celica. Car is going to the shop by next week and will be there till it's done, so hopefully it won't be too long till I get it back. From then on I am through with the whole exterior upgrade of the car because like I said I want a clean, sporty look. And on a side note, my wife found out that we're getting another baby again so no more money spending on the celi. -------------------- |
