actually I forgot to quote someone's photo. But yours is awesome too! Wouldn't mind replacing the Canadian Tire brand tips I got with the JDM ones. Also the sizing of your RPF1s is a good help

I used dupli-color metal cast for the red and then spraymax 2k to clear it.

I used this thread to read up on it and see exactly how to do it. Many different ways to go about doing it. But the biggest thing I would suggest is being very patient and just simply taking your time for each step. Rushing will only lead to mistakes.
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7826

I had an extra set of tails so I was able to keep the lights off the car in between the steps of painting and adding the clear coat and then polishing them!

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Honestly I hadn't either except for spray painting odds and ends when I was in high school lol. If you get one of the little handle triggers that clip onto the can it makes it even easier to spray where you want!

yes! That should look nice with this tips now.

Don't know where to order that though. It's like 50 bucks right?

I want to paint match it instead of keeping it black!

I love it. I wouldn't pay 150 for it though.

I waited out til I find it used. Got it for 100!

Took me 5 minutes to install!

Honestly this looks 1000 times better than those pathetic stock tips.

It's a must item for all 86 cars.

5000k or 6000k won't make it brighter.
