Anyway, nice job, it really fits the theme of the car.

Thanks man! Carbon trunk is in future plans.

Now with all this talk about the wing it would be unfair to leave this thread without posting at least some pics of the finished product, so...

Looks much better as a final product. Thought the uprights looked just a little rough before.

I do wish it was a little wider myself but then I think the bottom of the mounts might look funny.

If wider it would look like the '99 3000GT VR4, not bad but not what I was going after.

Where did it mention what you did to the taillights? Are those Red Toms with a Clear lens swap?

Didn't even catch that; those look awesome!

I'm curious because I've been looking to clear the lenses for my taillights as well.

But would this actually work? (spraying something like brake cleaner to remove the red vht coating on the lenses) and then smoking them, rather than swapping the lenses?

If we are talking about the Tom's I found out later that you can remove the red from the inside with acetone. For the smoke finish I wouldn't paint them as it would create uneven covering with some darker spots. Use a smoke vinyl for that purpose.

Did you cut apart the Toms, or bake them apart?

It's not possible to bake them like other brands/models since the plastic is welded. Cutting was the only way.

Thank you bro! You haven't posted on IG in a while. Hope everything is well and you still have the 86.

I do, but apart from driving it to work every day, I haven't done anything to it. Hopefully at some point soon
