so, with me having regular tails for a bit then getting geo1317 made tails, then to gen 2 altezza tails, i finally decided to try my own custom tails. i like the whole clear aspect tho. so i opened my tails. for the
take out the small srews out that border the tails. place them in the overn for 20 min at 200 degrees on a cooking sheet on top of tin foil. this should make the glue that holds them together very pliable. theyll should pull wide open. then i took out the clear peiece for the revese light and the amber peiece for the turn signal. i then and taped off all the opeing in both lower sections and spraypainted them white. i even through some clearcloat in there. gave them a few minutes to dry about 10. then i threw them back into the oven for 10 minutes. they dried up very nice. put everything back together and was very impressed. i may open them again for some custom lighting. arafio watch out...
if anyone goes for this then good luck. if anyone needs help then email me.
tell me what yall think!!!!
later

looks pretty good man but you might want to put your pics on cardomain or something to resize them... i think they look hot when painted silver/chrome in there as well, did you consider that? maybe paint the plastic part of the bulbs white too so they don't show through as much...looks cool though overall
or else wht ????? ....my computer is a bit*h. it wont uplaod onto cardomain. its the only way i could do it. sorry. i was going to paint silver but last minute changed my mind. the led housing is blue b/c the altezza's had the two opening. the revese was blue and the led pis*sed me off being different. i may fix that not sure..
