Well, i had to re-do my tails, simply because of legal reason, i mean i had red reverse lights. Well, you know the drill if you saw my last pics, my digi is sucking a$$ right now, so heres a quick pic i snapped....

The old...



The NEW...much cleaner IMHO...and legal...




Opinions/Comments??

 

Looks alot better than the first picture...1st was too red

-matt

 

I think it looks good! How hard was it to do?

 

I think its comin down to red with me too. Stupid 95 96 cars Looks awesome IMO

 

Looks good...I'm a fan of DTM myself though.

 

bro now that's more like it na nice
if you don't mine a small sudgestion since you wanted all red's
to begin with (narrow the white a little bit more and tinted )jetta style,
now thats just an idea since you dont mine puting and taking of the lights but all n all they look good

by the way they look very profesional you must be a man with alot of
pasience wich i was like that

 

damn I love DTM... and here it is on a PB car... hehe

 

Thanks for the comments. Im not sure i will be painting these again anytime hotmax, lol. This was more painstaking than the first shot. But, the reason i did the clear part like i did was because the reverse light does not touch any part of the red. If i slimmed down the clear, you would start seeing red/white when i reverse, get what im
saying?


And MrEous, i kinda like the DTM too, but on darker cars. Ive seen it done to a sunlit sand max and it looked horrible. Its all about the color man. Sunlit sand is so hard to do **** externally to (AE headlights, altezzas, etc).

EDIT: BlueBOB just made my point...

 

That does look good. I like it a lot better now with those reverse lights. I think we are just used to seeing those, and when it didn't have them, it looked funny. Nice job. You are quick with that.

 

I think having tint is a major factor...my car without tint and DTM didn't look so nice. But now that I have tint it matches up REALLY well.

Seriously though, good job on your tails!

 

much much better, nice job

 

Looks awesome, and now its legal. Good job.

 

Thanks, this is what i wasted my 2 days off this week on . Oh well, i like them better than the red/clears now...

 

Looks really good

 

Like..they all said...I think it looks great..even better than all reds and red/clears..

nice and way to be different

 

i dig...i think if you used three or 4 slashes like these / / or these \ \ having the /\ be clear. but across the entire bottom inside lights. i don't like the 1/2 clear half red looks odd. an easy photochop but im lazy ...just an idea i hope i explained it right....

 

That is sweet 99! I like that a lot. Good job.

 

How did you remove the red paint?

 

I like it.

 

i liked the all red better

 

I still like the red/clear tails better.

 

looks better, btw-you have some dark a** tint

 

what shocks and springs r u on in that pic 99Maxima5sp?

 

No, you must PS , i dont quite understand...



Nope, if ya read my post, my digi is messed up. You can see the distortion of colors in the pic. It made the picture darker than it really should have been. I have normal "dark" tint...



Im running B+G sport springs with stock struts..


I used "GOOF-off". its a great product. I found it at lowes. priced around 3 bucks. Its the second can from the left if you click here




And thank you all for your compliments/comments...

Ill try and get some better pictures up shortly..




Eric

 

I think that looks great! wish all reds on a 96 looked that good.


Did you paint inside and out or use vynal?

 

Just the outside...with testors...

 

i like the red/clears ALOT better.

 

lol looks more like 2" + drop to me than 1.6"

 

yeah look much better im a dtm fan as well but your car look good 2

 

What does "ALOT" mean???

 

Im running on slightly oversized 225/55-16inch tires which account for .2 inch "more" drop.



I think the DTM looks alright on certain color cars. Notably black and such. On lighter color cars it just doesnt look right...of course just my opinion...




Eric

 

Nice work but not my style

 

im a fan of red clears myself.. by that looks aiight..alot better than the other dood who wanted nismo or a hamburger in his reverse light.

 

looks good eric... sorry to hear about your car that sucks.

brandon

 

The All-red looks FAR cleaner than the red/whites you had now. In the end the best is still red/cleal (the common way)

LEMAR

 

Not a fan..... I agree with rasta man!
great ingenuity though

 

I like'em alot, a lot, alotta...yeah that's it. Sick of seeing red clears and the all reds was too much with such a large light array.

 

DTM > ALL

 

Suddenly I'm seeing all this photos of "DTM" which, I can tell, is a darker (tinted?) color for the clear lights. What does DTM stand for and how do you make them and/or how much do they cost? TIA.

 

DTM stands for Dallas Tailight Mod, and it is simply Red/Clears that have been tinted using spraypaint on the inside of the tailight (correct me if Im wrong people).

The all-red tailights look sick! Your car looks awesome too, nice drop, great looking exhaust, etc. . . But yeah, great job on the tails, I really like em!
