Last weekend i had to throw my winters on just because i wasnt gonna b back to Toronto b4 the snow hits *later tonight*. So i threw my original 15s on, and noticed they are starting to pit. So i decided i was gonna paint em. So i spent maybe..20 min tonight cleanin them, then i masked off the tires and did some quick painting.



ive only got the 1 done right now cuz i started to feel sick

but while i was at it, i did sarahs hub caps because shes back on her stock 14s for the winter



But b4 i decided to do my wheels, i started on my newest project. Some custom tails for sarah's coupe. We have an extra set of OEM tails laying around the garage we pickedup from a scrap yard. So for x-mas, i decided i was gonna get her some currens, but then i relized..i dont have any $..lol So instead, i spent $30 and decided to try and make some clear tails fallen hero style.
This is what ive done so far

thats with the clear plastic over top of it right now

Im still debating on if i wanna throw the clear lens back on, or if i wanna do the whole office lighting material way

or, im also thinking of kinda doing a glazed window kinda look and make it more like a BMW style tail light.

either way, i also picked up a set of red LED bulbs to put behind the plastic.


What do you guys think?

well..i finished 1 of the tail lights tonight...kinda. I had to put a bit more epoxy in to make a flush seal between the 2 parts. But i decided to put the tail in, take a look and some pics and see how the led bulb looked. Also i ended up just using the peice i cut out, but sanded it down with the sanding bit on my rotary tool, then used some emery cloth over top of that to give it some texture.

So stock


VCM *Valo Custom Mods..lol* tail


i also got a pic with the led bulb in and lit up. It looks pretty good. Its a bright red even though it looks amber in the pic and videos to fallow.


I also had some extream white PIAA bulbs in my old stock tails, but since im using the JDM harness, they dont fit any more, so i pulled them out and poped em into the coupes tails and WOW are they bright. Also the LED is nice because its just ON, OFF, no inbetween time, so they look really good IMO.
Reverse lights


4-ways on


Also, once i took the 4ways off, i tryed the turns individualy, when i put the turn signal on the side with the LED, it started to blink stupid fast. I couldnt figure out why. So i pulled the tail back out. The guy gave me the wrong bulbs. They were the ones for the front turn signals. So i went to go put them in the front, and 1 of the 2 grounding pegs had broken off, so im gonna go return it tomorrow and get the right ones for the back aswell.
