yep

tinted the tail lights, side markers, blinkers, and windows. blacked the bowties on the front, rear, & wheels. added matte black stripes. painted the calipers red

it's at MSRP + i think 3k for the extra mods

yep

dealer-custom job

they removed the lenses, spray-tinted them & wet-sanded them for the glossy smooth finish

wet sanded them? im not familiar with that process...how is it done?

That looks amazing! Now to see it in all black

Not a fan of the stripes though.

fad1 · 05-10-2009, 08:18 PM

the stripes look hideous. :(

I think the stripes look back but I like the bowtie.

They have been selling tint in a can for years. Most auto part stores carry them. Ebay also. Easy process. Take off . Tape off. Spray a little. Let dry. Spray another coat for darker. Wet sand after you get the desired darkness. (wet sand is when you take a very very fine grit (i believe its 2000) and wet the sand paper before you sand with it. Gets the "tint" very smooth. When done sanding apply clear coat and your done. Next thing to do is get ready to be pulled over by the "man".

Guaranteed ticket in NJ. i.e last year, got a ticket last year for dime sized blue reflector.

Yep and dont even think you are gonna get it inspected either. I bought a used set of tail laights and did it to them. Changed em out when time for the inspection.

i went with him & some GTOs to the drive-in & following the car, the lights are still highly visible, especially when the brakes are applied.

HAHA!! That's so funny!!!!! I was like i wonder if there's anyone here from Camaro5...

Yeah I go up to Nashville quite a bit for the good shopping...

Actually that dealership is in Antioch or something isnt it??

State law here in texas require visible light for tail lights at a "plainly visible" from a 1000 feet (especially during the day). Those would not be visible a 1000 feet during the day. They would get you for the sidemarkers also. It's totally up to the officers descretion.
