painted taillights/homemade rear fog light
I decided I wanted to make my taillights a little cleaner, but I didn't want to smoke them so i tinted them red. I sprayed on a few coats of Metalcast red paint. It sprays on transparent, and gave a nice red tint that blends in well with the car. I finished it off with a few coats of clear.
Also made myself a rear fog light, I used Lexan for the lens and painted it red with the same paint and mounted an 1156 red led bulb and socket in the rear bumper.

there's no reason to be a piece of ****. you could simply say you don't like it. It's completely unnecessary to make fun of someone else's hard work.

yeah, i like the way the single exit exhaust looks better. I was thinking about getting the ABflug rear bumper, what's your overall impression of it? good quality, and where did you order it from?

What exactly makes an exhaust a fart can? I have stock pipe diamter mandrel bent from cat back, deleted resonator, and a 5zigen muffler welded and bent by myself and a friend. what exactly is so rice about that? if it was an autozone pos muff clamped on and held up with wire, i'd maybe understand a bit more.

that exhaust is slightly larger than 3 inch.. a little excessive. Does it really need to stick out half a foot?
The park bench is a bit much in my opinion as well, but I do like the taillights.

i like the look of it, i dont have the carbon splitter on it though... where i ordered my bumper from it didnt come with it. but other than that i like it, it flows good with the rear fenders and has a great aggressive look.. but it only comes in fiberglass.. i ordered my whole kit from a place called grounddynamics.com only cost me about 1200 for my whole kit.
how do you like the falken tries?? i have them.. not my best idea so far.. they seem to break loose to easy for me.

I like the tires, they grip well when hot but cold...forget it, they're useless. That's why i only have them on for the summer months. decent in rain too. i like the way they grip to a certain point, but when they start to slip it's pretty predictble, so it never really surprises me.

I have been considering doing the same thing with my tails. My idea was to make the "fog light" into a reverse light, and convert the reverse lights into running lights or extra blinker bulbs. any other pics of the "fog light" or the fabrication of it. I plan on just keepin mine clear. pm me if you can
