Re: Blacked out tailamps,BUT WITH CHECKER BOARD PATTERN

Thats pretty sick. Are you cutting the squares out individually or making a pattern and then laying it down ?

Re: Blacked out tailamps,BUT WITH CHECKER BOARD PATTERN

You still making the project headlights? Email me, I am interested and will pay if you want to make them. Sales@GreenDesire.net. I made similar lights for my 2005 scion tc when they didnt have anything out. 22hrs to build straight through with no sleep. s2000 projectors with tsx ballast 4k bulbs and 8k angle eye rings all from good ebay for about 1k parts alone. Now I dont have the time so if you can. I will pay quickly.

I've never really been a fan of those tail lights, but with what you've done to them, they look pretty darn good! Great job!

Re: Blacked out tailamps,BUT WITH CHECKER BOARD PATTERN

That looks pretty awesome. Should give your car some flash and dazzle to make her standout a bit.

Re: Blacked out tailamps,BUT WITH CHECKER BOARD PATTERN

..I actually prefer those style tail lights..always wished the other style didn't take up so much space. Way to make better, even better.
