(Irvine-OC) Wanna blackout your lights/tails?
 
So I recently blacked out the front headlights (thanks darrendrive for the dope write up) and now I'm looking to blackout the back. I don't really want to go spent 80 bucks on a dremel for one project so if anyone has a dremel and wants to try this shit together let me know, I'd also gladly blackout the headlights for your too if you haven't.. It's pretty easy once you do it you're a bit more confident... Not as scary as it seems.

So yup, if anyones local to Irvine or Orange County and wants to kick it for a day I got a garage, pool, grills, beer w/e let's spend a day getting some wurk done!

If I dnt get anyone by the end of the week I'll probably just buy one and do it anyways, so if you're local and want to do this and dont have a dremel either let me know I might just get it and say fck it lets do this.

Id probably be down, but i wont have my car until a week from friday.. Im truly frightened of cutting the tail lights open though, haha

Jared0934 01-10-2013 07:28 PM

It's only scary because it's our new car but it really isn't that bad. Just draw your cut line and dont cut deeper then you need and voila.. My only concern is sealing it back up....

Wait let me sweeten the deal...

I got candy kids...:popcorn:

lmao, but when you open the trunk does it look nice and clean? or does it look like you cut it open?

Jared0934 01-11-2013 05:58 PM

well when I do cut them up, I can promise it will go back together clean. I got out of the S13 scene for a reason, not going back to bondo patches and zip ties thank you.

Looks like everyones to scared to do it :-P if anyone in OC needs help with baking there headlights LMK I'll help out.

Gunna wait until next week to see if anyone local has a dremel I can use / do both cars together if not I'm going to buy one next week so PM me if you're in OC and want to do this.


If anyone needs a detailer around here too HMU I don't do it professionally but I do a good job using professional products I trust on my own car and 2011 Range Rover Sport both are swirl-less and shiny as a mofugga.

Yeah man I mean I'm as confident as can be without having done it before? You know how it is, I can be as cool and collect as anyone but cutting open 400 dollar lights is still gunna be nervous until you've done it on multiple platforms before and just know what to expect. Like I said, I just did my headlights the other day and they came out great IMO no fish eyes or nothing. gunna pressure wash it next week giving it lots of time to cure.

I don't know who said what about an exhaust... But if it's catback I'd be glad to help ya out. Anything but overpipe unless you got a truck jack to be able to jack the engine up. My jack is a "low profile" one that is shitty and only lifts the car like 2 feet up so when you're under it your face is hella close to what you're working on. LMK though I'd be glad to meet some locals and help wrench around.
