Hi guys,

This is my last mod these days. I don't think I'll have time to do any other mod...
The whole red tail is not bad for a black car....

 

the other one...

 

together...

 

howd u do that! did u have to take apart the casing and add red film. and if u opened up the casing and took out the amber plastic in order to do that, then doesnt that able us to make 02 tails.

 

No, u can't, the tail is too weak and if u try to take apart it, it'll break! So again, I use redish vinyl to "wrap" it....
I figure it's a really cheap way to mod car. Two unique tails cost only 6 CDN.. and about 2 hours....

 

Don't take it personally Chien, but I think you finally went too far. Not my taste, but hey it's not my car. Do what makes you happy.

 

It looks ok. One tone color is always bettter than two. It would look hot on a Firepepper TL.

 

Chien, you have done like 4 mods in the last 2 weeks. you have way too much time on your hands it looks good though

 

850EX, I agree with u...
I know it's not as good as the inspire ones and I actually thought about taking it off after the negative opinion. However, I went to school today and there was another TL parked right besides me, exactly the way my car used to be... the yellow tails, the Acura of North Toronto license plate... and then I just deicded to keep things a bit longer until I got enough money to buy the Inspire tails...

 

Hey, thanks for the compliments...
I had my X'mas break from school and there was really nothing special for me to do... so I started to do this... and it was really fun..... really....

 

Don't listen to what other people say. It is your car and you are entitled to do anything. Personally, I think it looks pretty tight.

 

That looks like LEGEND tail....
I like red with clear on top, though...

 

Darken that red...with smoke tint sheet or spray it'll look really really nice

city

 

how do i do this for my fp red tl

 

so Chien all you did was wrap the orange part with red vinyl thing....did you get that the same place you bought the thing you wrap the interior of your car with?

-amit

 

this is a better opition cuz i was thinking about painting it red?

-aimt

 

Darken it? Do u mean just the upper part or the whole tails? 'coz now the color matches perfectly...

 

yeah, I got everything from there....

 

Hey Chien can you post instructions on how to do it. Thx

 

This one is actually a lot easier compare to those silver interior. You just have to put the vinyl on the tails and use a very sharp knife to cut the shape u need... it's really the easiest one compare to others... but when u cut it, don't push it too hard 'coz u don't wanna damage ur original tails...
Because the vinyl is like the sticker itself, so u don't have to worry it'll fall or anything...

 

Thanks for the support! TypeSDragon!!!

kindda looks like the cl's taillight. So you took the taillight off, and put some red vinyl over it? Where your original lights the 02' ones? or the ones with the yellow stripe?

 

If I had the Inspire one.. then I won't bother to do all these...
And to ur other questions, yes....

 

Hey Chien, You do whatever you like to yo car! I thought many of yo mods were very unique!... Hey...It's yo ride... it's everyone's gotta have their own style! BTW my boyz thought that silver interior you did was tite!... keep it up man...

 

Where can i get the "vinyl"?

 

Is the sticker transparent or solid...i wanna get the tint guy to do this mod this weekend...looks real good!!!!

 

hey Chien!

off subject: how did you do your gauges? i like the light ring that you have there,,,,


and i've been thinking about painting my wood trim silver,,, you see i purchased the carbon fiber trim from this site and it looks good in the ebony interior,,, now i'm thinking maybe i should go through with painting the trim,,, is it the same paint as the exterior silver?

thanks!!!

 

U meant if the silver I used is the same as the exterior silver? I don't know.. but it should be pretty closed... and I didn't paint it... I used vinyl to wrap it!

 

I am glad u like it!!!
I thinkthe tint guy will do a much better job than I did... and yes, it's transparent!!!

 

U should be able to get it in some arts store or some ad-design store!

 

hey Chien!

also,,,how did you do your gauges? i like the light ring that you have there,,,,

 

Where can I find smoke tint sheet stuff??

Right now I have removeable tint spray on my accord taillights. But I would like something a little more durable than the spray, but still reversible in case "the man" hassles me.

 

alrite, i just did this red vinyl mod. i tried so many ****in places to get it: 3 hobby shops, 1 addesign place, home depot, etc. etc. etc. i finally found cherry red transparent tailight repair tape from R and S Strauss, or wutever that place is called. it came in a roll of like 4" X 60". there was no need to even remove the taillight either.

its an alright match up, but not tranparents enough. the upper part of my tailight is not as "crystallized" as the bottom half. Ill try and find better vinyl. cuz now it looks pretty ghetto, but at least better than before. ill post pix in a lill bit.
