Custom taillights

[spikester7878]

I am going to be trying to restore my taillights. Took them off today and water literally poured out. I am planning to repaint the grid pattern when I got to thinking if I can sand down the old bars why not try something custom, but I cant think of any ideas that would look tacky. Got any suggestions for a custom design I can paint in place of the bars?

i would kill the grid entirely and give them a light smoke tint. Then add sequential signals. Thats what I plan for my 3rd gen t/a tail lights

[spikester7878]

I want the sequential but cant afford any unnecessary projects right now

[spikester7878]

what about doing something like the second/third gen lights. Just horizontal bars

[spikester7878]

never mind I started to separate the plastic and the black bars are part of the construction....back to the drawing board on how to restore em

just spray em from the inside.... make em a moke look then reassemble.

I was thinking about that. I also saw on that other site, someone had sprayed the bars on the outside then cleared. I might do that because these are a pain in the ass to take apart. I actually cracked it pretty bad.

[spikester7878]

Actually I just remembered I bought a dremel....I think if I am careful I can separate the other one ALOT easier

[spikester7878]

and I can cut out the vertical bars

[HunterZ28]

That looks bad ass!!!

[spikester7878]

well I completely destroyed one taillight....I think I am going to try to separate the lense using the "whistler" method of taking apart LS headlights

Why is it a photoshop? That's the plan for mine

I could be real I suppose, the lighting seems to dark over the taillights to be in the sun.

Hmm, idk. Even if it is Photoshoped, that's what mjne will look like. Lol

nothing wrong with a photoshop if it gives you a good concept to work towards
