We rarely do rolling shots, but when we do...they're pretty decent. I'll definitely let you know if we do any others.
I know...I do too...that's why I won't be selling this set! I'm keeping both...those will be my go to sets.

What about throwing in a type s diffuser or something so the orange is more subtle?

Thanks Meko...you're not the person I'd think would say that. But I totally agree.
After work yesterday, in 2.5 hours. I swapped headlights, touched up corners on the bumper, swapped all sidemarkers, cut open the new tails, swapped lugs, swapped to 5MM rear spacers instead of 7. Maybe I should be called "the machine" also...
more like...THE TOOL
Thanks, man...yeah, well...after looking at my work on the amber heads...I see why it failed. I tried sealing them with ability to reopen in mind...I sealed the way I do tails...outside edge, smoothed over with butyl, rather than putting it in the channel. Well...major fail and it pulled apart and had an open seam. 
you.

Thanks boys...
Thanh... I do NOT miss the all white look at all, nor do I miss the blue ring.
Pics will be up soon. We have a mini meet tomorrow.
Meko...nothing major, taking it back to simple. Some type S tails with blacked bezels.

FYI I'm already call dibs on this new set when you decide to switch them up. Only because they're the exact way I want to do mine and I have no balls to cut open my tails.
03-21-2015, 11:44 PM
I won't be selling either of my remaining sets. At one point, I had 6 different sets...over the years, I've let go of them. I really did miss the rockstar look, but wanted the bottom red to remain. So now I've got that...and then I will keep my red stripes because I think they look cool.
Fkng DEPO fitment...
my only gripe on the new ones...driver side one isn't totally flush. Then again...I'm a perfectionist.

This is literally perfect. I would say more but there's nothing else to say.
Did you still leave all the lights amber?

Both Setup's are Beautiful! 
I don't know which I like better, which is a good thing!
How is the epoxy on the garage floor holding up? I know it's only been a few months.....

Thanks, man!
It's been holding up perfectly. I did some damage when I did lock to lock after swapping power steering fluid reservoir, but they made good and sent me a refund for enough to buy more clear. I noticed one tiny area yesterday where there's some cracking. The must have been something underneath to cause that problem though...so I'll probably do a small touch up area.

Lmao!
Nice shots J. I love the look of both tails so much. Either work really well with you car. I think I am still a bigger fan of the more sinister amber heads, but the cleared out ones look great too.

You can't handle all this powahhhhh
Thanks everyone. Chip, I agree, I think it's more the black ring that makes it look meaner. You know me, I'll fix my mistake and probably revisit the amber again in 6 months. I won't lie though...I've missed this look since I swapped out in December. I partially was leaving it on so you and John could see it in person and to take a set of rolling shots with the amber. I'm glad to be back to the look though.
