Default Got a few updated things

Been doing some small stuff to the car here and there. Been coming together slowly Cars still dirty haven't really had time to give it a good wash yet. I dropped in some new depo turnsignal lights since mine were cracked. I gave them a slight tint. Put on some blackbird stripes as well as stripped and repainted the calipers as they were cracking as well.
I also had the car ar work on the rack to throw in some rear swaybar end links so i thought i would take some pics of the tail lights in the day light.





Stripped the red off

couple coats of primer and black

And a sticker for a little extra


While i had it up on the rack why not

Parking lights on

brake lights

The tinted turns look good. Been meaning to do mine. Not sure if I want to tint the clear corners or not. The clear doesn't show up much on the silver.

I think you should have left the turn signals un-tinted... it looks purple with the light on.


everything else looks very good.

being so bright and new i put them in and imediately did not like how they looked on the car. they stood out too much for me and blacked out they look like there not even there with them off. They don't look so purple in person but could be just me. If they were just white bulbs i think they would look more purple
