ok so i was boored at work yesterday (home depot) so when i took lunch i used 1/4" tape to stripe my taillights. yea most of ya r goin to say its dumb, but idk i think it looks ok... oh and dont harass me about the debadging, 1 of the previous owners had Crazy glued the badges and flames on the side.

 

Any pics of it lit up?

For the price and temporary amusement I say worth it!

 

ill take some lit up pics at night. its like 98 degreez rite now

 

looks like a pontiac FTL

waiting for lit up pics

 

ya definetly a pontiac look.

props on being original tho

 

not too bad though

 

you get what you pay for...

 

i spy leftover residue from a flame decal!

 

dude i have tried goo-off, goo-gone, that 3M stuff, it just wont come of cause of the crazy glueor watever they put on it. i think its just goin to have to be sanded off when it gets paint someday...

 

Yea, looks kinda like a Pontiac.But hey to each his own...Props for being original...

 

agree with ponticrap. but props for being creative and i want to see some night pics

 

I think it looks good man. I prefer red/clears but you get an A for effort. Props for trying something new, keep trying unique stuff like that and posting it up.

 

not bad man I have to say it indefinitely is cooler considering no one else has done it to their car. If you can straighten out the lines a little I think it would make it look a little nicer.

 

ghetto

putting tape on taillights FTL

 

i like! props for the originality! and as far as the left over residue.. man i couldn't get it off when i we debadging my car. i tried everything and finally just repainted the trunk myself.. turned out pretty well though.. as far as the tails go, i think it will look amazimg at night.

 

Quoted For The Truth

 

ok heres the lit up pic. and yea i did this in like 40 mins. i guess if it gets a pass from u guys ill redo them with more time and care.

 

hey i actually like the look when theyre lit up.

so you just taped it to the outside??

 

yup. and i wrapped it into the inside edges.

 

Meh.... as everyone else says Props for creativity, but deff ponticrap.

 

they definitely look a lot nicer light up.

 

It seems the org hates me :/ I cant see pics today for some reason. Well your first post pics shows up but I cant see the rest.

I guess it looks ok. Nothing to brag about really.

 

Thats a nice lil mod you came up with.I might do it,I might keep it on my tail lights for awhile,but first I gotta fix up my car.

 

eh, has a bit too much of an 80s aesthetic for my liking

 

Has anybody tried this mod with the headlights and all the other lights ???

 

not bad at all for 40min. job. if you spent a day on em, making sure they're even and level they might look pretty decent. you'd have to tape the inside of the lens tho I'd imagine for them to even be semi permanent.

yeah i see how it resembles the pontiac look... i don't necessarily think the look is crap, it's just the car (pontiacs) is.

 

umm.. I seriously hope not

 

u fail at life

 

I ment like the side marker lights.II'm just saying,I dont know if it would look cool,but maybe some company will come up with the chrome pipes or something in the front headlights.

And I dont fail at life,you did already,lol.But dude,why you even say something like that?? SPAM !!!!!

 

98 degreez indeed

for originality, how do you think it's going to hold up to the elements, none the less humidity + heat?

 

but it should hold up pretty gud. i did this to my civic in super humid miami, fl and it was still gud 7-8 months l8r when i sold it... although i did use pin striping tape or watever its called 4 da civic.

 

in a related story, i used to drive a mercury tracer. i got bored one day and got creative...the rear end used to read:

TRACER________________MERCURY

so i broke off the T and R from tracer, and the ME from mercury, and glued the ME next to RACE, to read RACE ME. then, i covered the reflectors with electrical tape, as an alternative to blacking them out. i got some good replies on it.

also, i got a ticket in it one time, and the police man actually wrote "RACE ME" for the MAKE/MODEL.

funny thing about that is, the car has 88hp lawlz!

/rant

 

haha thats halarious, and as for the elec. taped tails i wont lie it does look VERY POS-TIAC but yeah u get the points for the originality

 

Word. But they do look nice lit up!

 

i did it on my headlights for a better cutoff LOL

 

Looks like the old 93 Ford Cobras. Not bad at all.

 

As long as you like it, good effort.

 

Could be worse. I think it would look better only on the brake lights.

 

thats just too bored

 

ima go and try them vertical if i dont get too lazy 2morow1 thanks for the comments everybody!
