okay..one of my customers asked about my taillights..
and i pm'ed him this info..but i also think its a great DIY mod that most any of you could do. so i decided "why don't i share this with everyone else?"
enjoi

my friend bought this JDM shit and smoked his maxima's taillights so it looks like the SE model..
it looks great but its $15 a can


so i am a cheap bastard and i want a similar look..
i go to this hobbyshop located on kirkman rd. & colonial
and i bought this stuff

its to tint the plastic "windows" on RC cars..but it works very well on taillights

i took out my taillights w/ a help of a razor blade to get through the goop
and i but the corner lights side by side and the center garnish separate w/ the 3rd brakelamp

make sure you clean the surface of the lamp w/ rubbing alcohol and have a well lit area

try and keep painting as even as possible..
i chose to make the center a lil darker than the sides
and the 3rd brakelight as dark as possible

let it dry..get a beer..and chill out
next..get some clearcoat..evenly coat the surface..
get another beer and chill out for awhile
install taillights...and have another beer

if you want to see what it looks like..ill post some later..
meanwhile i have opaque pictures in my TR garage
it is mostly transparent at daytime and looks normal at night..when i have the lights on

you all may say this is "illegal"..but so is aftermarket exhausts

yes, i know it looks very "domestic style" but i dont give a shit..
after all...i am a twinkie
