I smoked my taillights out and painted my stock rims black with a silver lip. I think it looks pretty good. Here are some pics i took today. I'll definately take some better ones tomorrow or sometime soon. I still need to do my 3rd brake light and possibly paint my calipers. Any color suggestions?

calipers? shine them up to a nice silver and clear coat them.. match the lip and the car.

I heard that the brake fluid ruins the paint on them though. So is there even a point to it?

Only on a silver car would I agree with that.

Put some tire shine on the dam tires

why would you have brake fluid on the outside of your caliper??

unless your brakes leak, then it will be fine, just will have to clean them, if you are planning on this, match your car,

Lol i did have tire shine on them yesterday. But armor-all and painting rims. DO NOT MIX. So i'll wait a little bit before washing them.

looks good. your tails are a lot darker than mine. haha

It definetly won't pass inspection so I'm looking to buy some used tailights to switch when the time comes around. Anyone have any? Ion might be selling me his inners. If noone on here has any i'll just hit up a junkyard or something.

I like what you did with the rims. I planned to do that with that lip unpainted but never got around to it. GOOD JOB! I like it. I might try it when I get a chance.

JUST GET RID OF THAT OLDZ ON YOUR WINDSHIELD and your car would be seeing some good progress

I'm good.

looks good what's next?

Umm. After 3rd brake light and calipers is new exhaust, probably magnaflow muffler with duals. I just got to cut a new groove on my rear bumper so i can fit my other exhaust tip.

For the 3rd brake light, I suggest you get the black brake light cover from Natedawg on this forum. Thats what I did and it matches my smoked tail lights really nice.

Hmm. Do what? How do i do that?

I have a full set of tails. pm me an offer for all four. also have a third brake light with cold cathodes in it or two stock ones


I can cut the groove off the drivers side of my bumber. So you can mold it in to yours like reddog did you can ask him or bodyman (I know there is stuff out there but I never worked with this material before) what to use to "glue" it and blend it in :







pics thanks to reddog


I used high temp engine paint for my calibers. I painted mine gold but then my car died :cry:

Looking good. Those lights are dark!

Nah i got a guy near me that does it the bumper cut hella cheap. Like 35-50 bucks.

looks nice. im liking the stock rims painted.
