Half DTM's
 

A couple months ago I redded out the amber in my tails, I decided to black out the housings of my reverse lights. The pics are just to give people an idea of what this setup looks like.

That white streak is my neighbor's gutter....+ finger prints from fitting them.

you painted on the inside?

For the DTM part, yes.

Looks good. How many layers did you use?

looks awesome, good work

Looks good! How did you red out the amber part?

Looks nice on your black maxima. Keep it looking nice!!

Nice unique look Fr33way. Still nice and bright when you put it in reverse.

nice, looks pretty good.. unique thats for sure.

It's actually a good bit brighter since there is only the clear plastic lense. Another thing is that the reverse housing has a real crystal look to it at night (similar to a newer car) but I'm sure this is true with all DTMs.

For the people asking about the outers: I just did it the old fasion 95/96r way and used testor's transparent candy apple red. I did about 4 coats on the amber section ONLY and it happens to match.

For the DTM reverse lights I used 2 coats of a glossy black paint meant for plastic. Thanks for all the comments, hopefully I will have a new idea for the headlights (modified AE?) whenever I decide to do them.

whats up with your wheels? Did they get a few new coats of gunmetal on them?

while you had the oven (or heat gun) on you should have pulled the outers, separated them and painted the orange piece red. the crap on the outside looks bad and fades over time.

Unique Justin - I like it!

gota get a lip now!

Nice! You have one of the most unique taillight setups that's for sure.

somebody has a kit on . . . what color is the front lip? (drum roll)

members rides ftw

Different... I like it.

I was going to but they have not started to fade at all, I'm not sure how the pic looks but it matched exactly to the 97-99 red tail.

Decided to match the outers. For whatever reason I didn't really like the Red/Smoked combo. If I ever did go back to red outers I would just paint the amber piece and put it behind the clear lense and put the stock reverse light setup back in. I like the look for now however.

AMD representin'

What The Crap is that?!

Looks better the 2nd way, nice mod.

If you are thinking of doing a nice headlight mod, you might consider my cefiro clone mod. http://digital.ic3donline.com/ae-cefiro

Damn Bijan! Car's lookin good.

I always loved the way the DTM looked. Good job.

Those look similar to mine.

looking good.

A friend of mine asked me if we could do that (black housing clear reflector), it looks pretty cool but I like the way the clear section looks with DTM. The HTM still looks a tad cloudy to me. Props on the setups guys.

I'm not big on the DTM. I dont like how the bulb is visible. Seems a little cheesy to me but to each his own.

Very nice write up man, I really like the way they look on a white car.

You totally have me figured out though I have been tossing around headlight ideas all week. We will see, thanks for the link.

I could see how you would think that, they are a tad dim in the day, but NICE and bright at night. They just have more of a crystal look to me.

Who knows how long this will last but for now I am happy with her ass

That super-black looks great BTW.

yeah maybe later today,but you've seen mine along witha black cloud of smoke.:bill:

It was hard to see at the tails were pulling away from me to so fast :bill:
