taillight covers...?
i know i have never seen covers for the taillights, like those thet have for most trucks and many other cars. just wondering if anybody has seen some somewhere, or if anyone has tried to make them. ive been thinking of the idea to use on my tails.it would just be some flexible, durable plastic cut to reveal only a certain part of the lights, and just painted to match the car, and probly held on with double sided tape or something. hopefully someone has an idea what im talking about. and maybe someone can do some basic photoshop designs or something.

The Static Cling is just a film. it apparently rolls on the corners.

The tail light vinyl that guy sells is crap.
I ordered it and took it off the same day I put it on haha. Get VHT nightshade. |

i guess not, haha...im well aware of all the tinted covers and whatnot. i was thinking about something like: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lexus...m120265719428& or http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku but obviously with spots for our lights. either just covering that reflective part between the lights, or covering all but a circle around each light. if i was even halfway decent with photoshop id give it a shot, but i am not. o well. |
Hopefully, Andy won't sue me for this but it's the only example I could think of

Generally anything you want that's "aftermarket" for the alero tail lights is custom made. There are no mass produced products for it from what I've seen.
There is a guy who does do custom tail light work (altezza, tints, etc) I just don't remember the link but it's on here somewhere. |

actually that is pretty much what i was going to do. im pretty sure i got the idea from that car...lol. anyway, i figured there was nothing mass produced, too bad cuz i was looking for something a little better than painted on. if i can find something easy to cut and shape ill try it, if not i might as well just spray it on. pics when i do get to it. |
That's vinal, not tint ;)
|
vinyl wud be good. at least if i get sick of it i can take it off. looks like it smooths out pretty well, with no bubbles or anything. now i just gotta find somewhere that has vinyl...

Almost any sign shop should have vinyl. The nice thing about vinyl, is that to apply it to curves, you can generally just heat it up with a hair dryer, and it will stretch to anything but the most drastic curves. |
If your going to do anything with the tails it going to have to be either vinyl, nightshades, or tint with the adhesive. Static cling will not work! Been there and done that. Or you could put panty hose over it.............LOL...I had wanted to try that but couldn't bring myself to do it.

found some vinyl on ebay, something around $3/ft. its Avery brand, 7-9 yr stuff, so im sure itll hold up fairly well. ill get some pics when i get it on, along with the wheels i just bought.
