A different tinted taillight idea
 
I am always seeking out ideas that sets things apart from other. There was a thread here where someone had an idea to paint the tail lights like the new Mercedes S550:

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...s550tinted.jpg

I photoshopped this onto my tails. Its rough looking, but an idea.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...intedtails.jpg

I think the darker area should be as black as the body color, much like the S550.

Any ideas or suggestions on something different other than solid tint on teh tails?

I think it could work if done right something similar to the Benz. The photoshopped image has too many lines/angles. Looks like something out of Transformers.

DeusExMaxima Jul 16, 2007 06:02 PM

Agreed. Anyone wanna try to photochop it better?

Actually, I like the octagon look of the backup light, and the angles of the brake lights to line up with it.

DeusExMaxima yo you kno what would set your car off are these wheels on
19's. I f you got the money get em. volks i think they are the racing or track challenge one of them. they are limited. I ll try to photshop your car with them on.

http://img126.imagevenue.com/loc1057...122_1057lo.jpg

DeusExMaxima Jul 17, 2007 10:13 PM

Id prolly go with slightly thinner lines across the lights, about teh size of the S550 lines. Try them body colored on your car too, Ill.

Those are Volk Time Attacks, a nice rim but Im sticking with my RH Evolution J5 rims. I love em.

DeusExMaxima Jul 17, 2007 10:14 PM

Illanoiz, I tried to PM you but u turned them off.

DeusExMaxima Jul 17, 2007 10:16 PM

Check out my thread on the rear valence. See if you can photochop 2 or 3 lower diffusers on my car, too

SmokeNismo Jul 17, 2007 10:30 PM

Hey can we see what it would look like if the lines were tilted slightly inward?

I think that would look interesting.

thecritik Jul 18, 2007 05:25 AM

After applying full pieces, I could only imagine the horror of something with pieces cut out of the middle of it.

The easy solution would be to make it a thin plastic cover (holds its shape) that you overlay on the light vs. clingy film.

Nice... Asantis??

I was gonna say, this mod is MADE for a black car, looks REALLY good on urs with the black/smoke theme going, for some reason ur car has a subtle blue hue to it.... might be just me....

But something like this would be hot! Now.... how about one for the NEW tails???? Would it even need it?
