Has anyone thought about getting that UK smoked corner look by covering them with a smoked film product? Well, I will be going with the black housing euro clear headlights pretty soon and wanted some smoked clear corners to go with it, so I am ordering some smoked film to give it a try. I will see how smoked headlights look as well. Here's a link to the site that I am thinking to buy from.

If anyone has already done this, let me know.

I have definetely considered doing this to my tail lights (and that big center panel on the rear deck) since it seems nobody has ever made any kind of aftermarket taillight for a 3rd gen (to my knowledge). Let me know how it works out for ya.

 

post pics when done. I prefer my way but then again I am sick of doing it and this will be a good thing I can point people to if it turns out well.

I wouldn't do the headlights though...jmho. If you look around I believe I have posted a picture of a headlight I tinted a while back.

 

What is your way, out of curiosity?

 

Move to UK, Buy UK Cornors.

Smoking headlights... Don't you remember how bad stock headlights are? Buy euro e36s with the black insides....

Buy 89-92 Se Tail Section:

 

mrkanda, I would get a small piece and test it on the corners first or..... you can offer me an astronomical amount for my UK's...

 

Thanks for the offer, but low budget is the only way to fly for me these days, KWIM (know what I mean)? I will definitely post pics when done.

 

i done it on my e28 bimmerlooks good but you better have a lot of dishsoap and a heat gun handy with a rubber squegee, i wouldnt use any thing darker that 20% tho

 

Heck, I wouldn't even to THAT low (20%). I'd say 35% or higher - especially if it's a daily driver. Last thing you need it 5-oh breathing down your neck - or worse still, not being able to see JACK squat some rainy, fog-enshrouded night while trying to pick up hoochies at "the spot".

 

Hmmm.... Not really. But, I was thinking just 35% on the corners to start, maybe also on the tails. That should get by the cops, I'm sure.

 

I too and thinking about this. Im gonna [for sure] get some e36's. I cannot wait.... haha. It looks amaizng on Maximas and im a BMW fan. lol..

 

You have not been here long.

 

hey
heres my mind.... full gangsta maxi man mines pretty sweet too hey how do ya post pics?, im from aus, awesome forum with all you maxi owners from the US. down under I barely see the maixma but Im a strong supporter of the car.
Thanks to the creators of this site.!!!

 

Correct. Where can I find stuff like that? Not exactly as easy as say a Civic or an Evo to find stuff for lol.

 

i'm buyin a set of clear corners and gonna smoke from the inside... im gonna rip um apart and then smoke the corners... i have the euro's and they look awesome they just need the corners and its finished

 

Just take a few minutes and look in the past pages. Tail light talk have been beat to death...

 

Couldn't find it after like 10 min. Any way you might be able to give me a nudge in the right direction? I'd really appreciate it.
