well I did this like 3 months ago....and I finally bought a digital camera so I thought I would share the pix of what it looks like.....IMO it looks great......My own homage (i think thats how you spell it) to the rx-7's.......Lemme know...

Twinturbo2800

RotorMotor04

Looks pretty nice, I wonder what it would look like on red

Interesting. The link you provided only shows black though, and specifically mentions transmitting red light. I wonder if you get it in different colors, and if it's optically transparent to more than just red light?

its actually a spray called "Nite Shades" Here:

Just spray it on as dark as you want it....then after it dries clear coat the hell out of it so it shines...simple.......later tonight Ill take pix to show how much light shines through...does not kill the light at all!

I Used 1 can for both taillights but I think im gonna order another one to go a little darker...

bossnikon23

I know they sell other colors such as green and red....but their is a different company that sells them...............they are made for car miniture models but can be used for the same purpose............ill try and find out the name of the company.....but youll see when I take night pictures all the colors shine through perfectly, the yellow the white and red are flawless...

ill try and take a pik now and see how it comes out.....

in a year or two its going to fade...how do i know?? my neighbor used the same stuff on his civic..hahhah start saving up for some new tailights

bossnikon23

Xdeed: Ive done the same thing to my old car (03" tiburon) and never really had that problem............not doubting you just saying never had that experience...and who knows i might not even have this car in a year....hehe

here is a daytime pik of the lights..couldnt get the reverse cause its just me and I drive stick but you'll get the idea......

wow ... they should make something more definite. if they do...then it would be a big hit. it might look really good for the gunmetal, red, and black...maybe even the white coming out...wow =P

thew

my clear br guy says that he has some clear bra that is tinted for that purpose...

so its like heavey duty tint....

Kel Rx8

Do you know Jeup? He too had an '03 Tiburon, and has been talking about getting rid of his '8 in a year...

takahashi

Good job I think

SorryI dont like that on the Titanium. Makesthe back of the car looklike an insect in my opinon.

bossnikon23

Omni....na i dont know him......sorry hehe.....but ya im really considering getting rid of this car....just not happy with it.....about the whole HP thing......well anyway....i took a pic at night so everyone gets an idea of how the tails light up.....virtually no light is held back...and still very bright....

I also did the side markers......heres the pic

XDEEDUBBX

true...i hope my 8 will still be running good after a couple years..hehe

i used that stuff on my old civic. they looked badass, but they were dull. i should have cleared them so they'd shine.

mikeb

but you can tell its homemade
