Redtails, was bored.
 

So decided to check out how redtails would work. Hot rod red is the color. Looks good imo. Didnt have enough time to do some COOL pictures, was working a project :naughty:

***Just for you haters out there. Even though you will ignore this bold statement and say it anyways. But...***

I am not going to tint my windows. I think it looks stupid and I will have a autopower bar in hopefully within the month.

So with that being said here we go.

Edit
So today on the way between Subway and Starbucks we took a few pictures. These look a ton better than my shitty digi. Hope this changes some minds. Either way.

any plans for the reverse lights?

So does driving with oven mits on and sunblock but to each his own I guess!

Nope. I like shakeyourbrakes deal but not worth it for me.

*edit* edit statement, to ignorant.

Hell I think they should scrap reverse lights all together and just make everyone reverse into parking spots......oh wait.....

tint the windows hahah

i dont dig the red on your particular car. im thinkin black/smoke would look much better cuz of your paint and wheel color but youre gonna do what youre gonna do

looks pretty good... looks kinda thick :dunno:

are those the standard 9.5+45 rpf1's? looks more agressive than usual i think. .or its the angles.

I applied it thick because I went really thin but it was purple-red and was hazed. Really the first picture it looks like crap.

I thought about that 'smoked' look but it didnt rub me the right way. I like the black theme I started but I also have added red to the mix.

not feelin it for our color. but i like your seat ;)

hey i think it looks good on your color car, but they look super red... if you decide to stick with them swing by michaels (art/hobby store chain) and pick up some red stained glass spray (for plastic) thats what ive always used and it gets a great red coat with 1-2 full sprays and a coat of clear paint, or get the jdm red spray it might help you avoid that purplish color you got.
Nice wheels by the way too

This is what I used but instead of Candy Apple Red I used Hot Rod Red. Angrybumblebee did candy apple on his BB

i'm not gonna tell u to get tint, but i will tell you to change the color of your taillights.
too red. ugly.

^ i agree but to each his own smoked would go with your rims but if YOU werent feeling the smoked red is good :)

I also feel that smoked is to played out. I believe smoking covers the fully red reflectors required to be legal. I already have enough trouble dodging jonny law with my red sparco. Dont need to get them another reason.

^ true its the same here in texas but i always drive with my lights on so they dont seem to worry me

Haha, yeah tint in Texas is nor for looks.




I usually hate painted tails but yours look good with your scheme.

I bet in hotter places tint helps. Its always rainy and depressing here so I dont want to add to it.

Thank you. I had a friend look at this thread and he told me I need to come over so we can take 'real' pictures with his SLR cause my shitty digi doesnt do it justice.

Yeah more pics would be sweet. Love the rims.

You may want to rethink the tinting. Tinted windows will hide the roll bar. This will reduce the attention from the police (you have a race car) and ricers that want to street race.

i dont see a roll bar i do see a racing seat though

On order. Yes tint would hide a lot of what I have. Just not a fan of it nor the loss of visibilty.

Ricers can do what they please. I roll at my own pace and keep the beatin' to the track.

no one said paint em black, just would help a little to slightly darken from the exterior

If it was sightly darker and not as thick it would look great imo.

Nice try nonetheless :)

+1 for smoked but i never liked red tails on any car..

oh, and tint ftw

Mike you are the #1 hater. :nono:

yep. i knew that bold was for me. ;)

You are like Silky Johnson. :spank:

To the TOP with new pictures!!!

I'm with dondo on this one too... if you keep getting bored your car is going to end up looking like this

shakeyyourbrakes -- I've never liked red tails on any cars either but i think yours are probably the best i've seen. The red is very transparent and it works well with the white.

I love the hate. Even from my friends.

Good concept.... Not sure if I like it with that color though.... but it did go very well with the "Red Target" Carts... ;)

I just got an angry text... :rofl:

Thats right!

Would look better on a different color...maybe. I'm all for smoked tails though, even though they're illegal. But whatever works for you man :) Rest of the car is sick, i'm not tinted either :)

looks good. It all comes down to personal taste. It's your car and you do whatever the hell you want with it =)

Hmmm I wasn't aware Renesis posted up pics of his camry lately

red tails are illegal too unless you have a functioning WHITE reverse light somewhere somehow, aka like shakeybrakey

i still dont like but perhaps if it was a lighter coat it'd be better.

...here's hoping for an angry text...

I think you should post bigger pics because I prefer to scroll sideways several times :D:

IMO looks decent on the black Rx8 & looks horrible on the gray Rx8. I guess u guys are just screwed when reversing now

he doesn't need reversing to get screwed :Eyecrazy:

i agree with some..not so much love for them on the gray not too bad on the black and again not so much on the white

Maybe you should upgrade to a bigger monitor. They are small for me. Prefect size when at work.


Dont worry I <3 Haters!


I would paint them kawasaki green if I could find that color.

I'm not being a hater...

I have a 22" as a 2nd monitor to my laptop but I rarely use it.

hey all, i saw these in person and....







































:puke:

Im not a super huge fan of it on the SS but on the black it looks amazing. Props for being different

Mines GG not SS but thanks +1 being different.

Everyone else can be droned sheep to the smoked tails craze.

So if I do something different because I heard it was cool then am I really doing something different or am I just a follower ;)

I didnt hear. I just did it.
