Something different with my lights....PICS
Something different with my lights....PICS I see every other car on the road blacking out their tail lights and corner lights so I wanted something different...
Silvered out!!
Still plenty of light goes through at night time you REALLY cant tell a difference
But I still blacked out one thing, those ''in your face" reverse lights
So what do you all think?? all the paint work was done by my roomate who works for a very respected shop. all the finishes are a gloss like normal paint not like those crap imo black spray can jobs. But light shows through incredibly!! idk exactly what he uses he said something about using an additive that they put into pearl paints or something.

That's really interesting, next best thing to shaving them I guess. Looks good 
You should paint the screws silver, they stand out like a sore thumb now. I used a "chrome" paint when I put on my clears and they blend right in.

Your right that's a good idea! Thanks man
good job man it definitely looks better than VHTing them. I saw a few ppl contemplating on doing this in a previous thread, maybe you were one of those ppl. I'm not sure if I like the third brake light done in that manner, but maybe it looks better from a realistic height perspective. Can you post up some shots further away from the t/a and show us?

i dont care for it.
the reason i dont, is the same reason you like it... because they blend with the car. the bad thing about them blending, is that they no longer look like lights, they look like they serve no function, there for, they look extremely out of place.... 2 randomly placed rectangles is what it looks like the car has...
stock, they look like what they are, lights. so when you look at them, its not really out of place... you just see lights. but now you dont know what you're looking at.
but thats just my take on this...

I've been contemplating what to do with my side markers since last year.
ZexGx painted his body matching color, and I kinda liked it. Now, seeing it on silver, I'm glad I didn't do it. Like stated before, they blend in too well, and look like you're trying to hide something (which you kinda are).
But if you like it, good! Your buddy did a good job of paint it looks like. You should paint the screws to hide them more as well.
