I did not "grit" it so much as to just get any wax etc off. Down so low at worst all I need to do it spray it Taffy again.

Usually I do not like the clear tails but on yours I like them. I would not add any red.

I am waiting for my door handle LEDs. Can't wait to be pulling wires through from doors to the body.

 

So damn hot today i finally get to use my new windshield sun shade. This thing is huge

 

Like the first thing I bought for my car. It gets hot here in da midwest! Especially with a black car.

 

Sold it to buy a 350z..

 

Almost torn off my STI lip going out of a driveway. Ended up putting the screws back in the front and cover with red duck tape, originally painted it MR. The paint is gone on bottom part. Only on Eibach springs but I think the short wheel base makes the Fit a dive bomber.

 

Went to honda of long beach for VSA recall.

 

I tackled the DIY cluster lens cover replacement today after I saw it in this thread:

I am really happy with the results and it looks 100% better

Should have kept it bought the 350z too

 

Nice job with the dip. Matches the lip pretty good.

 

Installed Ebay universal lip, first time I ever put one of these on a car. Didn't come out perfect, but I am happy with how it looks. Also secured it with screws/washers to make sure it stays on better.

 

Maybe I should sticker bomb my lip it has been taking a beaten.

 

Bit of plasti-dip, wheel lugs.

 

had a couple of hours before work, so i decided to dip my clear tails with red dip + glossifier. went pretty well until i sprayed the glossifier and i got a couple of runs.

Before:


After:




I'm still ambivalent to how it looks. Definitely harder to see the lights during the daytime unless you are right behind me. I think I may peel and stencil the lights out when I have more free time.

 

That's a REALLLLLL thick layer.

I'd do something like this:

 

yeah i know, i was afraid it wouldn't peel with such a thin layer. trial run my friend trial run

 

xxryu139x, ever thought of getting new tails? I never like how those look in clear lens... looks like a disco ball

I like red or red with smoke on silver cars

 

This would probably work fine on second hand JDM tail lights since you would really only have to cover the two small sides.

 

i did, but u sold em already! only got less than a year into them, i may keep em for a while.

i may peel it tomorrow. i wanna see how it looks like tonight when its dark. the clear axis tails arent so visible in the day time, but damn they are bright at night. so lets see.

 

^aw lol I know, it sold qiuck

since your playing around with plastidip... try just dipping the brake lights and see how that works

 

had a smoke, i propped up the brake with a belgian block, and its visible. i think i will peel it off and stencil out the turn signal and the reverse light. still i wanna check out how it looks like at night

 

Don't worry about having to peel it on such a small area. Spray on a thin layer of red and then glossifier till its shiny. Bug and tar remover can be used to remove Plastidip. Belive me half my car is covered in the stuff
