new tails

[cutelilcntrygrl]

i got inpatient on having someone do my tails for me so i bought some 3M vinyl from a friend of mine that has a sign shop and i did it myself. let me know what you think. there's a few wrinkles in this pic but i used a hair dryer and got those out but haven't taken a new pic yet.

ummm Different....
I beleave we covered all of our "feelings" on vinal tails....
Lol
:thumbsup: *thumbs up* for an orginal mod.... and the effort

Not bad....good work! I love the color of your car!

Thanks, it's Ruby Red. I'm kinda proud that I did the tails and they look half way decent (keep in mind I'm very mechanically inclined) but still not sure if I like the design though. I may redo it this weekend if I can come up with a different design that I like.

Too many holes for the upper half, nice shapes for the reverse and signals. I think a vinyl color that matches your paint would be better if you can find it. Better than stock tho, you're on your way

i looked at the vinyl that matches my car but i didn't like it very much. thought it would be too plain. :unsure: but i'm open for suggestions.

I used night shades to paint mine awhile ago i think i might have to look for something else since everyone likes making their tails black now... <_<

looks good just get rid of the dealership vinal decal

[vulgar]

unfortunately I feel that this is one of those mods that only looks good on a black car...reason being is that the dark colored paint and vinyl helps hide the contours of the original tail light a little bit better. On a light colored car those contours tend to be VERY noticeable and kind of makes the all the vinyl look overwhelming IMO. However the night pic you took looks pretty good, perhaps because it hides the defect I previously mentioned...

thanks for all the input.

I think they look like absolute crap.

Vinyl tails are like stick on hood scoops, it looks like you didn't have enough money to do it right, so you tried to stick some poop on it to make your car look cool.

You asked.

^^^ lmao, if you got the vynal on there without any bubbles, you get major props, vynal on a curved surface is poop...... we put "covers" on my friends SHO, and it was a major pain....

[ptrudel]

get a day time pic, or one with the lights on or somethin...looks good tho

Like most people, I don't like vinyl tails. Props for taking the initiative and doing it yourself though.

Opinions are like as*holes, everyone has one and sometimes they stink. :rolleyes:
To the ones that gave me props for at least tryin myself, thank you. Nah, it might not look all that good but it beats the heck out of paying someone to do it and then I don't like it. At least now I know that I would like the outcome if I did decide to have a professional do them for me. I'll get day time pics and night time pics with the lights turned on probably tomorrow.

Hey, i never spoke bad about your work. Nothing wrong with how you did it, just what you did.

Have fun with those.
