I have the tint spray and I know how to use it, that's NOT the issue.

I just want to know what you guys would think if I tinted everything (except the reverse lights) but also color matched and masked the last/current olds logo in the reverse lights spots, and used a honeycomb pattern (like on the later Trans Ams) in the red spots.

I also want suggestions for what to do in the turn signals sections. I've thought about the word "Olds", but it would definitely look odd...so I'm steering clear of words altogether.

if you can PS or paint a pic of what youre talking about it would be great. if it's what i think youre saying then i dont think it would be a good idea.

this is what the tails could look like. I made this chop months ago, and actually use a photo of a firebird to get the pattern. lol maybe I should skip changing the bottom half and just go with tint? (still omitting the reverse lights)

IMO that looks nasty. I do like the idea of leaving the reverse lights clear, though. I think a nice dark all-over tint (omitting reverse area) would look killer with your color, Randy.

well, I think you're right. :) I just tinted them and I love how it looks, so I don't think I'm gonna change it from there. (BTW: i did use the olds symbol in the reverse section, just go look at my showcase thread.)
