Someone's sister is going to be POed, lol. Seriously tho, the matte look is kinda off sitting right next to the glossy black paint. I always thought the Red part blacked out glossy and the white part untouched on 03 tails would look sweet, kinda Euro.

Whoa, wait a sec, what are you guys talkin about?? Nylon??? Is it really nylon or are you guys being saracastic??? Please tell me your being sarcastic cause i really am hoping deep down inside then no one would wrap their tails in nylon????? I used the niteshades stuff on mine, then went over with a couple coats of clear coat and it gave it a pretty glossy finish. I really need a digital camera...... but anyways.....NYLON????

okay, enough of this phase 1 shit. put a couple of high gloss coats on, and replace chrome license plate frame and A emblem with black ones and you will be set!











and if those are nylon panties or what have you...... please be quick to remove.

I'm gonna have to say it too. If you're gonna go that dark on a black car, it needs to be glossy.

I don't think it is, but I was just checking...

Maybe I just got confused because you mentioned that the original poster should remove his chrome plate frame....

Before you remove it. Can you post a picture of how it looks with the lights on, and then the brakes? I'm sorry for my mean comment. It's been hell week for me, and it's only Monday.
