Thanks dude, I would of taken a lot more pictures, but since it was taken with my cell phone I didn't wanna run out of space. I wish, I had my other camera I would taken a lot more, and they would of been a lot clearer! But, overall it was a fun day!

It's me flip702...
i smoked my corners...
![](http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/6338/smokedtails016tf0.jpg)
i used TAMIYA PS-31 (from Hobby Land or Hobby People -- Sahara & Decatur)
did the whole can (3 oz) to cover the amber corners. i would've sanded and prepped it, but it was my first try. it looked ok w/out wetsanding it, but i decided to put a light smoke vinyl overlay (left over from me doing my headlights) to give it some protection and give it a more "clean" look.
i also just finished smoking the tails...

(don't mind the HELLO KITTY decal on the freezer...its the wifey's idea
)
![](http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/9778/smkdtailswv8.jpg)
...i bought another set of tails and decided to try this "experiment" took a few days to do the smoke (also used the Tamaya-- 4 cans), clear coat, then wet sand and polish...
i wouldn't say its "perfect", but it sure beats dishing out $$$ to get them done.

I don't buy Kool-Aid
I had fun at the meet. total of 8 RX-8's showed! 3 more and it would have been like the In-N-Out meet we had some time back ![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
The tails look good Marko, but I dont think I would do them on our 8. I have a fear of getting hit in the back at at stop. People always stop right up on my ***. I hate it.
I want Thai iced tea
I'm off Mon & Wed anyone want to meet up and eat?
English dude needs some premix. I cant recall if I gave one to Gary or not?

So i finally got my car back. Drove it out of the body shop and saw that i needed gas. So i went on my lunch to get gas. Then i get stuck in traffic. With a cop right behind me. My registration expired right when i got my crash. We was planning to go to renew it the weekend after i crashed it. So the cop pulls me over today. My license is also expired. This was just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I was had no way of renewing my registration without driving the car cus i needed to get a smog check. But anyway luckily he was cool and he didnt tow it away. But i have court in june. Car looks good tho.

On another note... is there a detail shop that can "work" the car over to fix and clean up the paint finish? or would i need to go to a body shop? the thing w/ a black colored car--every little scuff or the minute scratch shows up.
