Well trying to slim the tail a little bit , without any spoiler

Ammunition 02-20-2014 05:52 AM

I think they're referring to not being able to see any difference between the pictures.

With the lighting in the original image, the overcast, and the angle of the car, it just looks like shadowing on the back, and it's hard to tell that there is much of a difference since your mock-vinyl looks translucent.

dssence 02-20-2014 05:55 AM

Awp it might be cause I did the mod with corel paint, and with some opaque blend but nevertheless it's viewable you can see where the vinyl goes.

dssence 02-20-2014 05:56 AM

Kay now you should see the stock image , and the mods fine.

RojerLockless 02-20-2014 06:22 AM

Who cares? They all look hardly noticeable. I don't like the first Vinyl though if you're going to do it do it.

Burrcold 02-20-2014 09:40 AM

None of them, just like your other poll.

TM 02-20-2014 09:52 AM

None of then makes the rear look any slimmer...

Hey buddy, posting your annoying polls in other subsections aren't gonna save you from getting criticized about your mind numbing ideas and poor sense of style. Take your trolling elsewhere.

Visxco 02-20-2014 02:30 PM

I mean if you must, Vinyl A is the best looking imo.

R4PT0R-X 02-20-2014 02:46 PM

Try Vinyl B with ONLY the trunk. Personally wouldn't do this.

TylerLieberman 02-20-2014 03:01 PM

Stock.

I feel like this is one of those "bored, modding for the sake of modding" kind of things. Do some red tail light overlay or something. Way better use of the money and makes the car look much better.

hey I do really apreciatte all your thoughts about my mods. To someone who said stop trolling or posting dumb mods . I' not doing anything without having any sense , I'm doing it with good spirit but ppl sometimes think it's just a matter of doind things worse. Anyways to all the ppl who are being cool thanks so much.
Now what do you think doing red tail light overlay would be best? I wanted to do some vinyl work on the tail basically without having to add a rear spoiler, I might be lost, could be. But If I don't get any tips or hints from you guys those are the ideas i'm coming through and i've been all nite playing around with lines. It's not that I'm a stupid guy doing bullshit.

Jive Turkey 02-20-2014 03:09 PM

none.

dssence 02-20-2014 03:11 PM

Is this some sort of conspiracy ? heh

Red overlays for tail lights. Basically just a vinyl overlay that covers the tail lights. That or paint them red. Both are very easy to do.


Below is a post taken from another thread to help you.

Process
Prep clean Mineral spirits with nitrile gloves
3 light layers VHT NiteShade Red
3 passes heat gun in between each layer
1 Heavy layer VHT Niteshade RED
Wet sand 1500
Wet sand 2000
5 layers Krylon clear coat
3 passes heat gun in between each layer
2 heavy layers clear coat
Dry for 24 hours
Wetsand 2000 grit
Hand polish rubbing compound
Wax

tip: if you find specks of dust in between layers. do not touch it. let it dry a little bit more and with passes of the heat gun. then use Masking tape to pick off any specks of dust before proceeding to spray more layers.

I might remove the wax and polish it with a portercable as i don't feel it is glossy enough. if all else fails I'll bring it to a shop for a coat of clear coat.

+1 for red overlay. Looks great.

I think those vinyl's look tacky as fk. But if you like it/want it go ahead and do it. Its your car for a reason. Mod it how you want it.
