Transparent Red Vinyl over Rear Bow-Tie

Transparent Blue Vinyl over Reverse Lights

Removed Chrome Trim Rings from Rear Tail Lights

Replaced stock amber Front Turn Signal Bulbs with SilverStars

Looks AWESOME! Where did you get the transparent blue vinyl? I really want that for mine when it gets here.

Ject · 08-15-2009, 08:58 PM

Got in on ebaymotors under a "vinyl wrap" search. Think it was called Metra Vinyls. Cost for a sheet of the Light Blue Transparent was $9.95

Man if ONLY they hadn't put those big silver rectangle cutouts on the rear ground effects... those tail lights look SO good and those big thick rectangles on the bottom look so out of place. Too bad you can't paint them black or somehow make them match in style to the way the tail lights look.

Other than that one glitch, the car looks quite nice. Grats!

Not my cup 'o tea. Why 2 colored bowties?

Especially removing the tail-light chrome.

Just my $.02

Don't be surprised if your next state inspetion asks you to remove the blue from the reverse light. I would imagine that there is a goverment standard that sais they have to be white. Checking to make sure these work properly is part of the inspection

Then again, I could be wrong..

VenomZ302 · 08-16-2009, 01:23 PM

Got any pictures of the blue bowtie from far away? This is something I'm considering, but I just can't make up my mind.

Yup, wrong. No state inspections in Arizona.

LOL - You can't see both Bow-Ties at the same time, so why not different colors. On the Front the Blue blends best to my eye. On the rear the red works with the Red tails.

Agree! The GFX cutouts are natural stainless steel. I may pull them and take them to my Coater for something darker. Black comes to mind...

The transparent blue looks friggin awesome! I just purchased some for mine. Did you have to do a wet install?

Ph4r · 04-27-2011, 12:12 PM

You removed the Tail Bezels Completely? Do you have a better picture of that? Does it look like something is missing, and do the lamp housings move around like that?

f5journal · 04-27-2011, 01:14 PM

EXHAUST BEZELS --I simply painted mine dark grey metallic with plasticoat wheel paint and cleared them heavily when I did the paint on the rest. They look powdercoated.

Your mods look great
