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?

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

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.

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.

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 |
