ATTN All I30/35 guys who want G35 style corners!

Whats up all, im almost finished with a job that (not to jinx it) should look great and is 100% legal too! I have removed the front two corners, taped off the lower halves so it is just the single rectangular strip of amber. I have sprayed the bottom half body color, and am in between applying coats of clear as i type this. It should look pretty damn sharp. If it does work out, I'll have a detailed list of instructions on how to and some pics as well. Wish me luck! Lates!

OK, done, and it looks great! Im kinda debating whether or not to paint the little black ring around the marker to make it totally seamless, but as it is it looks sweet! As for the pics, im lazy as hell and i dont have a cam. Just visualize it. Use the touchup paint they gave ya at the dealership, and follow the steps below:

1. remove markers (duh)
2. clean markers
3. mask off as desired for G35/Porsche look
4. scuff up the plastic (mildly!!) so the initial coats stick easily
5. paint on like 6-10 coats, making sure you have covered entire area.
6. paint inside lens on opposite side painted with dark paint (so when lights are on, all you see is the rectangular area you want showing.
7. let dry. apply 2-4 coats of clearcoat to protect and allow it to match your car's color and gleam easier.
8. reassemble and reconnect lights.
9. go for a drive, and pimp it to the ladies. pretend they give a rat's behind what you have under the hood or how cool your corners look. good day!
