second that

 

yeah but the light shines through like they arent even smoked

i wish they were lighter but ionno . i might buy me some smoked ones soon. the vision ones are too expensive
the password jdm ones dont even look smoked

theres some on ebay that look pretty good but theyre 60 bucks. and 60 bucks for ebay corners is a lot . so ionno
but ill have some daytime pics tomorrow. they were ebay amber corners so the amber was sooo bright that i think i like these more

 

daytime pics will be up in about an hour.

 

hey im a noob at painting things but i thought if i wetsanded then rear cleared it would make them shiny

it didnt change a thing
wetsanded completely made them dull again
then puttin the clear on again since its a spray can its sitll like bumpy


im going to buff them later and get some polish

what polish should i get?
any suggestions

and theyre a lot lighter in the daytime. i couldnt take pics today though. too windy
guess nevada got the storm that was just in cali.

 

looks good but fitment is all expletiveed up.

 

its nice, but they are flat black looking.. why dont you try using the Hobby Shop paint, the transparent one.. i did it on my hatch and it came out shiny

 

i donno im 16 and its too much of a pain for my parents to have to come with me everywhere to buy paint for me

i got some polishing compound but its like orange peel. sort of. its not a smooth surface
how can i make it smoothe????
im giong to try to buff them but i dont know if that willl make them smooth or not.
im about to give up and go buy some. ionno

your 16 and got a nice *** looking eg? damn.. ahaha but yea, im not sure about buffing, it might just peel the thing off

 

i love my eg. but trust me . my car is not nice compared to all the rich kids at my school.
a kid at my school has an NSX.
but hes like the richest kid.
theres much nicer cars but i LOVE mine. engine swap comin soon. then dropped but that wont be for a while.

SO
i completely made on light perfect and completely jacked one light up
i figured out what i did wrong and i finally got it perfect
but then jacked the other one up so bad i hope its repearable. i hope i can sand off all the crap i got on it.

 

well i completely sanded it down using a sander cuz i had some thick crap on there that needed to get off
so i had to completely start over on one
and i got the PERFECT smoked amber color
not too dark
not too light
it was perfect
but the sander left little spirals like springs. indented in the plastic
you couldnt tell till i sprayed the clear on it
so im hoping when i wetsand the clear down it sorta filled it in
so ima have to finish soon cuz i gotta go to bed and crap haha
cuz i got school tomorrow

 

to make it glossy, spray a heavy coat of clear so its really wet looking

 

looks good ..pat ur self on the back

one of the lights is completely messed up. i got one so perfect and its super glossy and everything

the other one looked good when i smoked it. but when i put the clear on it
its got bubbly looken and looks like crap
tomorrow im going to sand the whole thing off and try one more time. the sander left some spirals which made it look like crap . i dont know how it did it its like indented. i dont know if i can fix it
if it doesnt work im giving up and gonna buy some

it pisses me off that i have one incredibly perfect one ... and one horrible one.

the ones in the pictures are before i got them all glossy and shiny

 

diy ftw

 

i fixed the light
they both look sick
im really happy with them
well atleast happy enough not to buy the real ones that i have money for now.

ill have daytime pics up in a lil. if my friend will send them to me.

 

they might look good in the light

 

new pics
i love them
i couldve gone a lil lighter but too much time and work to change now.

 

got the fitment better on the left one. need to wash the car then ill get a photoshoot of my 4 x 4 haha

 

no step by step..??? on a DIY thread..???
