Tinted Tail lights...10 minute mod

VCguy85 · 08-01-2007, 08:16 PM

I know i'll get shot down about this, but i did it, and it's been on for about a week now with no problems.

Pantyhose!!!!

The comparison shot..

The process..

The tools..

The finished product..

I've washed the car with them on and nothing happens, and the lights shine through perfectly. I don't have any runs yet, but for $3.99 a pair and the quick install, its worth it. Also my buddy doubled his up and it's even darker

Let me know what you think!

sorry doesnt look that good, kinda looks like a faded tailight in the comparison shot. But since your cars black you should tint them complete black and that'll look a bit better. Nice back bumper and mufflers

teflone · 08-01-2007, 08:54 PM

dude, you have issues.. lmao

But nice legs! LMAO

the rachet must have been for hitting your head until you came up with the idea!

j/k its a diff idea..

Oldsnut · 08-01-2007, 09:14 PM

WTF, just spend the extra couple of bucks and by Smoking spray. Most guys I know would not admit to putting Panty Hose on their car. I can't beleive I just had to type this on a car forum.

mrmike · 08-01-2007, 11:28 PM

It would look sexier if it didn't cover the whole light and maybe had some lace on it... I assume you're getting a bra for your Alero too? lolz thats just wierd...

adam337 · 08-01-2007, 11:39 PM

you make me lol, and wtf at the same time.

billytheman1188 · 08-02-2007, 12:17 AM

HEY, that was a good idea, eff sanding your tails, spraying a few coats, then clear coating them. do you have pics of your buddies car with darker ones. I might do this, cause ive been wanting to tint the tails, but im too lazyyyyyyy to do all the work for the spray tint. LOL

Then get the vinyl.

Gr1m · 08-02-2007, 12:53 AM

just get the film that i had, its basically window tint that goes on the outside of the tails

TheMeaningOfLife · 08-02-2007, 02:56 PM

Where do you get it? I found the vinyl and the spray but no film like window tint.

greenbastard · 08-02-2007, 03:07 PM

that is to funny. but hey i guess it works and if your comfortable going to buy pantyhose then go for it.

antichrysler · 08-02-2007, 03:14 PM

lol interesting mod........ i'll leave it at that

Oldsman · 08-02-2007, 05:01 PM

should have used fish-net

alerocar01 · 08-02-2007, 05:47 PM

interesting idea

steve-o · 08-03-2007, 01:03 PM

interesting, but not my cup of tea.

p1mptress · 08-03-2007, 03:00 PM

Interesting but in the "long run" you'll be spending more money replacing them. very different!

Kilroy · 08-03-2007, 03:43 PM

Now you need one big enough to fit the entire care, and it will look like you tinted the windows, headlights, turn signals, and rear brakelight. Someone has to have a girlfriend who has a pair that will fit!! ;\)
