This is where I got my red out adhesive tape. This product is called (X-film)Normex intermediate grade vinyl. The store descripiont is Formatt-Form X 10307H. I got it at the Montrose Blvd. store for about $6 bucks. Real easy to work with. Later...........

 

looks nice

 

I want to totally RED OUT my WHOLE tail light like that now! Can you get me that tape? I cant find it in CO.

 

info on top

 

how many layers of tape did you use?? It looks pretty dark but real nice. Did u go over the whole tails?? both inner and outer? ive seen some other people do this but theres came out uneven, yours came out nice!!

 

wow that looks great dude!!!
nice rims also
and clean max

 

Just the amber and reverse light. One layer only.

 

i called the texas art supply, they dont know what the hell i am talking about. i have tried all the hardware, art supply, printing supply, photography supply, hobby shops and no one knows WTF i am talking about. and i cant find anything online! maybe we should set up a group deal or something if anyone finds this stuff in bulk, i would be happy to buy a large quantity if i knew i could sell it off without a loss.

 

sounds good to me !

 

I can't find it either so don't worry. I think bigdaddy should just buy a bunch and sell it to us.

 

I have seen them on ebay. Don't know if they are the same quality.

looks great but isn't that illegal? i understand you don't have reverse lights on that often but don't you need them to pass inspection and blah blah blah avoid being hassled by police?

looks great though!

 

well, look at passat tail lights, they shine through white, but are red when not on.



there is an obvious spot for the reverse light, but, with a bright enough bulb, i think it may shine through the film white.

what does big daddy have to say about it?

 

I located the film on a website: https://www.hyatts.com/art/store.php...&itemID=855786

Hope this helps!

Although they want a lot for shipping:$6.20!!!

 

Looks good= i would seriously consider getting this and I think alot of other people would too= but 1) is it legal and
2) bigdaddy-can u post detailed instructions on how u applied it- it looks really nice=your car is dope as s****
also- u used their Dark red as opposed to regular red?

 

Good example with the passat but does the film idea for the maxima shine through white?

 

u can go here http://www.geocities.com/taillightredout/
and email the guy...
he sells them on ebay and i emailed him and he just told me to measure the legnth and width...


heres what he wrote..


You could just give me the lenght and width for each tail light. Don't have to go through ebay unless you want to. But if you just send me the payment through paypal or money order, I will just send it out to you. It'll be faster and it'll save me all the ebay fees.

but im going to measure and ill get back to him and ask how much and ill tell him some other maxima owners are interested

 

Why did you red out the reverse light as well? The reverse light is white for a reason, to warn people that you are backing up. Ditto for the amber turn signals.

 

Turn signals don't have to be amber..... they can be red as well. as long as something red or orange is blinking, its cool. Im still wary of no white for the reverse. You would be f!cked for inspection. But besides that, how many cops are going to see you reverse?

TTT, this is interesting. I want a how to for this type of red out....

Okay! Okay! Here's my mobile # for anyone who wants more info about this tape. I'm in Houston Tx, (281)415-7182 . Reminder, this product is only about $6-7 bucks for a 24x24in. I don't want to make anything out of this. Let me know....My name is Thien(ten).

 

what about maybe somhow cutting circles in there for the reverse lights

 

I think that might not look good, ricey even. If there is a way either to get a really bright white bulb to go in the reverse light or any way to make the section over the reverse light thinner (less tape for light to go through) it might work.

what i am thinking, is putting cutting thin stripes with non transparent backing behind the red so that it looks all red, but only white shows through when backing up.
