tail lights

Dhoyle · 01-10-2009, 09:41 PM

ok i had a weird day dream while i was at lunch and woundered if anyone has done this. Ok you have the rear tail lights fogged correct? Ie tinted, or capped so they are black, i was woundering if anyone has thought about carving out the name ALERO on the tint so that its clear and or the Olds symbol. Was just woundering if anyone else thought about it, i saw a dodge 1500 with kinda what i was thinking about with the Dodge ram symbol. I know its weird and random just wanted feed back etcs. and or Ideas.

i think it would be a little much, w/ ALERO already in the middle of the trunk. you really want it to say it 3 times just on the back of the car?

some people have done the olds logo.... but meh. i'm not a fan.

"to each their own" applies here.

I have never been a fan of advertising the name or logo more. I removed all the badges for a reason. Looks cleaner that way. I think less is more fits this situation IMO.

I think it would look stupid if ya ask me I like the really clean and smooth look but whatever floats your boat just my opinion

Dhoyle · 01-10-2009, 11:46 PM

ok, i wasnt sure if anyone ever done it, i didnt want to buy it n turn out like crap or anything, so ill probly buy those ebay *caps* that you can get for the lights and go from there.

You should keep the Alero badge and also get the Alero third brake light overlay, that way when you hit the brake it'll look like this:

Alero

Alero______Alero______Alero

worknprog.99 · 01-11-2009, 12:16 PM

that would be a bit excessive..lol.but i do not judge others cars everyone has different taste.

Dhoyle · 01-11-2009, 12:26 PM

so ill just go with the full smoked back lights then, no insginia, it is kinda over the top lols

AlbinoMonkeyRat · 01-11-2009, 05:27 PM

I had the Olds logo in the reverse lights, then I tinted the entire bottom row with no overlays. so now you can only see the olds logo when I'm in reverse.I've tried taking pics of it, but it just doesn't turn out right on camera. It does look nice in person.

I have a good idea for you. Get some transparent red paint and paint over the turn signals, so the entire lens is red besides the reverse light. Then tint the whole taillight lens, not black, but a nice dark red. Then tint the 3rd brake light to match. It'll look really nice

Like this

shonky_alero · 01-12-2009, 03:12 AM

or you can do them like mine n spray em in a both with a metallic black and them some clear that way when you look close you can c all the metallic flakes. Just throwin ya some ideas

It's not my car. Someone posted that picture on here a few years ago.

You spray transparent red over the turn signal...leave the reverse light clear. Then you get spray tint, like VHT Nightshades, it's transparent black, not dark red. You spray 2-3 light coats on all four taillight lenses, enough so it turns to a nice, dark red like in that picture, but not so much that it makes the whole lens black.
