    Re: how does this look

    you know its really hard to get the night shade paint to actually look well enough to look...uh stock i guess is the best word to describe it. you have to sand that fucker a lot to get it shine as well as our tail lights do. i mean you have to sand them first...put a coat on, wet sand, couple more coats, wet sand wet sand wet sand, and a few more coats to get it to shine and look good. otherwise they just look...like well painted tails

    thats just advise i guess....my opinion is that it would look great

    Re: how does this look

    it looks alright, i plan on debadging and redding my tails one of these days, but only prob is, i dont wanna debadge cause it will leave holes, and then i have to cover holes wich means metal/welding work.... lol.

    DOnt use bondo...use firberglass since that happen to my hood... some one fixed it and used bondo and after like 5 years of rain the bondo acted like a spong and broke all the paint...i had to get her down to metal and put some firberglas since its waterproof. oh yeah hit the hole down a big so the fiberglass can sink in a bit and you wont sand it off

    Re: how does this look

    yeah, but then again, what about paintin the freakin back to get it to look right, i dont wanna do a paint job just yet. lol.

    i may be even doing my own paint job in the later future, i know where to get paint (high quality for cheap) and i may just have my bro in law do it for me for cheap, we shall see though......

    wait, fiberglass (you posted faster than me. lol.)

    how would i go about doing that, i was also thinking, cutting out squares, and then welding in new ones... cause that would be quite easy.

    Re: how does this look

    Looks good to me, but I'm biased, lol. I left those inner rectangular areas clear to not have a completely blacked-out look (it's safer, IMO). I have clear bulbs in all my lights. I have NEVER been bothered by the law, after numerous followings by the CHP and local police.

    Here's what it'll look like w/ the turn signals on:

    Here's what my corners look like when they're on:

    I say go for it.

    I think it would look good if you left just the honda logo badge. it looks too plain otherwise. and darking out your lights to match your windows eh hehe
