whistler mod gone wrong
whistler mod gone wrong hey guys i was doing the whistler mod and had everything done... came time to pull off the masking tape from the reflector... and 
about a quarter size reflective part came off... i don't know what to do is there something i can apply to make it reflective... or am i going to be driving around with a half *** reflecting light

although with the lights off it will be possible to see the flaw, I doubt with only that much of the reflective material missing, you'll see any difference in the light output of the bulbs.

it was painters tape... dude i even sprung for the good **** and spent the extra two dollars at lowes 
to have this **** happen i'm pretty sure the problem was the reflective part was weak around there since that's where the light bulb goes in... either way it sucks... and that's funny you say that camarojunky because i tried to make sure i left out the part where i f'd up the tape completely good eye(or i was more asleep than i thought this morning)... lmao, but yeah it needs work it's my first set, the paint came out pretty sweet i would say, even if it is tootin my own horn everything except that part

lol i would if money wasn't so tight right now supermaro is hooking me up with some for a good price ima just buy those and try my luck again... hopefully this time they'll come out a little better
hopefully this time they'll come out a little better here is a tip u might wanna try this time around. get some paper, cut out an oval shape and put it over the chrome part, then tape around it, if that makes sense? and really use your fingernails to get that tape flush at the seams. it will take u a lil bit longer to use the paper but it will be worth it i think
yeah i was thinking to use paper this time around but i'm not very confident in my spray painting yet so i was thinking the more edges and seals the less likely it'll be for the run off (if there was any) to get into the reflective part if that makes sense so going overkill mode on it i f'd it up because if i would have used paper that time it would have maybe been good...
dude the worse part about this ordeal is that everything was done getting ready to put it back together it all came out good and then oh well live and learn only one way to get good at it practice

no i still need to get the money to pay supermaro... i used chrome spray from a can... when the lights are one it's barely noticeable.... i'm still going to get the other ones though to perfect them... by the way hlaalu how much rtv did you use when you sealed them... i think i used a little too much and it is noticeable from the outside...
