Thread: What Did You Do To Your B14 Today?

Nice i too want to see some pics

My phone died, so ill have mine up tommrow. I did what i saw in a video, sanded with soap and water, used paint thinner to clean, tint spray 3 coats, then 5 coats of clear coat, a light sand on top, and then some rubbing compound so hard like i was alone on a friday night (or my wife every night) and they came out super shiney.

that turbo set is just plain monster sick. Great work.

Well here are the crappy night time pics in my garage. Ill have some day shots today.

Right one is the done one, left is the old one that i tinted and didnt do correctly like 6 years ago >.>


Right one is the one sanded and everything, left has not yet been sanded down. U can see even in the pic a lil difference.


Them in the dark, light shines through more than enough

I'm gonna be doing this soon.

I'll be going much lighter though just a light smoke.
I'll also be going this route:

YouTube - Transparent film installation

I wont do the film for a few reasons. One it can be ripped off by honda ricer pos in a parking lot. Two because i like how much like glass my tailights now look. I can see my faces reflection in them even. Im waiting for the rest of the pics to laod from my phone. So it will be a bit

And look at those reflections. You can see me in one, and hell my mazdas rim in the other lol.

Finally here are some more.

Yea it came out good. My reason mostly is cause tint is cheaper and I don't wanna go so dark

really glad you like your tailights, and if you asked me they look very good.

Thank you. I just got that left tail light, somehow i missed a bit of the amber o.0 dont know how the HELL that happend but somehow it did. So need to tape it up and take a q tip and do it in.

Also you dont have to go that dark with the spray. That was 4 coats of the spray. How much is the tint? The spray is 6 bucks, the clear coat 6 bucks, and 2000 grit sand paper is 3 bucks. Compound was 5. So i was 20 bucks total doing all this.

Now to take that center piece off, fill in the holes and have it be nice and shiney black. Nice thing is i can see all the light durring the day through the tails, and the law here is light has to be able to be seen durring the day so

big roll of tint at wally world is $10.
