I've been wanting to smoke my taillights. My friends told me he knew how to do it but i saw how he did his Integra and my other bud's Cavalier...and it looks really dull. I want to do it but make sure it looks good...like the glossy look:) Is that hard to do...or is my friend just not good at it? lol.
Oh! im also thinking about front light covers. I'm thinking about getting some GTS covers i found on andysautoparts. What shade would look best...and would i have problems with those here in Texas?

I want to do my headlights too. Except i was thinking about getting the GTS covers off andysautosport.com. Think they'd look good? i kinda wish they had actually put up a pick of them on a Celica...or the ones for a Celica. lol |
