"maxxximum performance" guy on here, that might even be his org name, has something like that on his car. ask him how he did it. search for Maxxximum Performance i am sure you will find a post with him in it, you can see the taillights in his cig i believe

you can also take the lense apaprt on the altezzas and paint it whatever color you want it, then put it back.. someone on the board did that too, unless it was just a photoshop pic, but it can be done

"JOESmax" is his name. He got vinyl over his altezzas, the car is black and so is the vinyl. They look like R34 Skyline tails

About vinyl... I recently put black vinyl tint film over my front corners. This is while I'm waiting for the diamond cut clear corners to arrive. It looks much better than the nasty orange corners, int he day time it's hard to see the light flashing through the film but at night, you can see it pretty good.

Honestly im not really trying to take apart the tailights and paint them, I've seen where others have posted that it was hard to get the lens back on. Being that I made my own red/clears, I wouldnt go threw making them again for any amount. Maybe I wasn't patient enough but i got real frustrated with them. The left red/clear is perfect, but the right tail has a crack, I was glad when it was over.My altezzaz are lets say in the mail , and they should be here by thursday, Cant wait to get them, anyways thats about it..........

Step1- Cutting Vinyl cant be so easy
Step2- Waisting my time doing so is not worth it if its going to look like a half asz job
Step3-Details are required in doing so, not simple steps, IMHO........

Maybe Shadow can help

Shadow,

I think owns a vinyl company. I tried to e-mail him twice but I never got a response. Josesmax lights look PHAT. If anybodys can make then using a "plotter cutter" I would buy a set in white ASAP! I tried on my own and it looks horid, I cound not get the circle to look smooth and clean.

I think Shadow is our best bet try to private message him or something. Thats my $0.02 !

Guys, I can do this very easily. All I need someone to do is send me a template. I don't have altezzas so I can't measure the circles myself. Someone measure everything, make me a drawing/template or something and I can do this easily. If I can get this, I can do it for $15 a set shipped. All you'd have to is apply it, everything would be cut.
