dont mind me tekagga im international member so i dont know where to do that but i got a question .. isnt better to use blackened vinyl sticker instead of painting the lights ?

Vinyl will show lines and it will degrade over time. If you do tinting with paint it should be a pretty even finish and using a clear coat keeps it from degrading.

Auto Explosion has done some mods to our tail lights using paint for the tint and or body color.

Here's the bumper reflectors tinted and than cleared. It still shined red when hit with lighting




Here's some body colored bordering and tinting of the clear housing.




Tails have been on my car for a little over a year now still look great.

Looks really good Rookie. How much for the bumper reflectors and tail lamps? PM me if possible.

Thanks

I'll have to check on the pricing. The DG paint is used often, they would need to mix up some berylium to do the tails, I have an extra set of bumper reflectors that can be used for a quicker turn around on that part.

I am interested in your bumper reflectors. Let me know how much. Wow, my tails would look nice with the Berylium.

I think the reflectors are only like 30-40 to tint. If I remember right there's a screw holding the reflector in from the inside.

how long does it take to do? where is the shop?

 

[rookie]

The shop is in Gardena. I would suggest doing the reflector swap yourself if you're handy, less labor to pay for. They can also do the swap if needed. http://autoexplosion.net/

If Carlos doesnt grab the reflectors, I'd like to use them for the swap, unless I can just go down there & wait while they paint. LMK
I want to do the tails too, but I'm good with a full tint, & no body color match.

 

[rookie]

Probably need to leave the parts there for a few days. One of the things they do to keep the costs down on little parts is to tint when they do a couple of items at the same time.

Can I get some spare tails for lend somewhere in the interim?

 

[909FX]

is there a contact? So I don't have to take the bumper off to get to the reflectors?

 

[rookie]

I doesn't have any at the moment. Give me a week or so, mine will be available to borrow.

 

[rookie]

Esteban or Damian are the contacts there. The bumper may need to be atleast dropped to get to the screws. Where's turbocad?!?!?!?

 

[gto]

Yay.

You've got 1 week! . . . or so :wub:

Ya, let's get a confirmation on that. If that's the case, I may just stick with the Andrew's tints on the reflectors. They're livable.

group buy?

 

[909FX]

ok, cool. Gardena is not too far.
