Smoked Corners
 

I noticed everyone has clear corners on their rx-8's but does anyone have smoked corners. I have a black rx-8 and was wondering what this would look like on there.

yeah i would love clear corners if they were CLEAR clear not whiteish clear, smoked is my second choice.

i had some but i had to take them off i got the from carcustomz.com "darn cops" (really hard to get on btw cuz it precut i had to heat up and other stuff

They didn't fit right? That is weird. Anyone got pics of them on a black car?

If your going to smoke them, No point in leaving the light in there. Take it out. I mean, if you have a hard time seeing the rear lights when they smoke them think of the corner lights on under there. Its like no point.
On the other hand, You can just get a tinted vinel and put that on your self, if your that good. I have seen lots of guys on here in the past useing vinel on there corners.

smoke in general lets light pass through. even black out still lets light pass through. just use transparent paint.

I've had this done for months. I think a couple guys took pics of it at the last EVOLV-Chicago meet. simple, took 5 minutes, looks good and light passes through no problem. They still light up orange.

I've got a bunch of extra black vinyl if anyone wants to buy some.

Pics anyone?

i know ive seen one guy with a light tint to his on there its in his avatar. im thinking about smoking my amber ones and if i get a ticket it gives me and excuse to get clear corners :)

galaxy gray car this week

i want to buy some send me some half price and i'll send you pictures.

p/m sent
p.s I do not sell corners just service :)

What did you use to smoke or tint your corners?

the sidemarkers are so small it'd be easy to tint them with vht nite shades and some clear.

Thats true but translucent vinyl is a TON easier. Working on better pics still. I seem to have misplaced the disk they are on.:banghead:

Here's another good pic for ya. Don't ask me who's car it is cuz I don't remember, but its from the EVOLV group. I could post up a good clear cornered black 8 and someone could photoshop it...

I used a translucent vinyl and the OEM corners + light bulbs. They still shine perfectly orange when lit and there are no legality issues. I have a TON of this vinyl left over. If anyone wants some shoot me a PM.

looks good you can kinda see the amber but anythings better then staight up orange.

The first and last pics are the most telling even though they might seem a bit distorted - they are not. The corners are in general dark with just enough orange coming through. Everyone that has seen them has liked them.

I'm selling the vinyl cheap if anyone is interested. $11 shipped for enough to do both lights.

im interested post pictures please.

Send me a PM for my paypall addy when you are ready.

You can get a look at mine on Friday at Sonic in Tracy at 7PM. I laid tint over them.

BB is the only color that can pull this one off. IMO. Looks good BTW.

yea, any other color would look almost as bad as stock. lol

looks good man. i'll get some for sure. the only thing is my paypal has been acking up and not letting me log in, i'll call them up tomorrow once i get out of school.

Thanks, I'll have to actually wash the car before I put up any more pics. haha


I actually think it would look good on almost any color.

hey mac i finally got my paypal working. let me know your info when you this. peace

You have PM

the money has been sent!

could you give me the run down on instalation.

thread revival...

WOW that looks amazing, if anyone can figure whose car this is, or how to get it to look like this, TELL ME!:Eyecrazy::Eyecrazy::Eyecrazy:

Here is them totally blacked out you can't even notice there on lol

^ Can you even see at night with those headlights?

WOW THATS AMAZING, looks good, how'd you do it, and do you have pictures of it at night with your lights on? and wow you're rx8 looks good

Yes i can just use brighter bulbs :)

And I just used vht nightshades just make sure to tape it off real good...it shouldn't be a problem just because there really small but i love how they look...hope this helped

ALOT thank you, i know exactly what im doing now, how did you do it though, and do you have night pictures with the light on?

wet sand or anything?

thanks again, and props once more, sweet looking 8! :yumyum:

and what about your tails?

I actually didn't do any pre-prepping besides wiping it down real good and put some rubbing alcohol just to make sure it's nice and clean then sprayed away lol In the dark it's just how you think it would look, it's just a dimmer amber orange color...It's meant to look better in the day time than night...I don't have any pics though sry!

And as for the tails what I would say for you is to take them off first! I taped the crap out of my back bumper and trashed bagged it and everything! but somehow some still dripped on my back bumper...good thing my car is black otherwise it would REALLY show

pictures of the tails?

and just spray on and thats it? let dry and you're done?
