Default smoked my integra corners tonight yO!

I was gettin tired of the pathetic euro corners... didn't quite wanna go back to stock yet - so I finally found a hobby shop near me and grabbed some window tint spray (for model cars)..

here's some pics yO! in chronological order.

everyone knows what a clizzear corner looks like.. but anyway:


thaaaa materials


thaaaa setup


After a few coats


test "look"


Wanted to clean up the "white edges" so I worked my magic....


On the car after drying


Parking light on


Turn signal on


aLl liT uP y0!


Came out a lil darker than I wanted to.. but maybe that'll change during the day... erm.. clear corners are clear corners right? thats why they're so cheap

comments?

hahaha you guys are hilarious

3 cases of 40 lb cat litter? Your cat must **** bricks.
Pretty much! only one of them was full tho

looks good man. but gloves? sissy.
On the can of spray paint it says "The state of california believes this product may cause birth defects".... so.. I'm not touchin that ish

i'm not feelin the orange cone and the green floor but other than that
What can I say.. i'm ready for christmas LOL - Yea come to think of it, it looks a little weird

I'm not digging the white with the amber...all one color might be nice...
I modded my turn signal bulb so it only lights up when the turn signal or hazards are being used.. not all the time like stock. So you only see the amber when you need it - I don't dig using white as a turn signal - not safe IMO.

Looks pretty good; what store had that tint spray!?
I was lookin all over for it, finally stumbled across a "Hobby Shop" by accident - sold all sortsa RC cars and stuff... They knew exactly what I wanted.

Thanks guys - They look really good during the day too, I was surprised!!!

I faded the corners pretty well, but one came out slightly lighter than the other.. just needs an extra coat.. I'll take pics later today

Looks very nice. I like it. I am ordering my rims, man, you shoul dhave waited for them to get to your place and we would have done my rims and your lights together. Here are the rims by the way:



I'm guessing you dont know what they are.

sorry Andrea! lol... Anyway here's the deal:

My parking light (outer wedge bulb) was always my parking light. no modification there.

My turn signal light (inner [bigger] bulb) was always my turn signal bulb, however it was always on when the parking light or headlights were on.

When the turn signal is pressed or the hazards are on, the turn signal light just gets brigther and dimmer and brighter and dimmer. I didn't like that - I thought to myself.. hey it would be so much more visible and look better if it wasn't on all the time, only when I needed it.

The contrast between dimmer/lighter and on/off is a big difference - you can see that i'm "turning" so much clearer..

As for the modification part - All you gotta do is file off half of the filament on the bottom of the turn signal bulb (the bigger one).. the only hard part is, which half?

Eh.. if you're still interested, i'll snap some pics and show ya....

Which half? If you need to file off half, always file off the better half
