vinyl instead of clear corners
 

don't know if this has been mentioned before....but instead of going for clear corners. (and since i do vinyl graphics and decals for a living lol) i used some silver metallic vinyl, made a template and used the vinyl to cover my corner marker lights. the vinyl is translucent so the lights show through at night when they're on. during the day they're hardly noticable at all.

i've done it for other 8's that have come in for tinting.

i've also used the vinyl to make RX-8 covers for the 3rd brake light.

They all look bad ass. Have you found a color that would look good with the titanium?

titanium is the one i haven't tried matching up yet. couldn't find a good match for green. metallic blue, red, and silver are good. black's easy. the color chart i have for vinyl comes close to matching whatever i need.

Not bad.
While you're at it, you could also cover your headlights :)

actually i did. eyelids LOL

^^^ I like...

i agree,
looks great. did you do the rx8 cut in the third brake light or was the decal on already.

i would love some ti gray eyelids. great idea...

beers :beer:

not too shabby.

That looks great

i've got a plotter at my store. i did the rx-8 cut in the vinyl before installing it on the 3rd brake light. one of my customers had me do the rx-8 cut on his corners when i covered 'em. looked pretty cool.

not bad man...thats a great alternative for clear corners...

I like the vinyl on the headlights, wanna make me some BB ones for my car and i'll PayPal you :ylsuper:

check pms

beers :beer:

Thats not bad looking. Props for being original, and it actually looking good.

How durable is the material? Is this something that will peel off easy? Just wondering just how long those on the corners would last.

Also, I see you applied it over your stock corners. Is that correct? Considering most of the clear corners aren't flush like the stock orange corners, will this apply over them easily? I assume not.

Just wondering cuz I already sold my stock orange corners. :mdrmed:

the vinyl i used is a 2 mil cast vinyl with 7 year durability. i've had the same vinyl on my company van (a rolling billboard) for about 6 years. still looks great. peeling isn't an issue. it's been on my corners for about a year and a half.

yeah i did apply it over my stock corners. i'm not sure about the clear corner application. i would think it would be no different. but i honestly haven't seen any clears up close.

Looks pretty sharp!

So if you could match up Titanium would you be willing to hook us up? I think they look great and alot cheaper also. If so let me know where or when I could purchase!

i'm sure i could hook you up....all you have to do is fly me to talladega for the next NASCAR race. :yelrotflm

seriously though...there's no reason for me to be sending out/selling these small chunks of vinyl to any members. any vinyl/sign company anywhere can do what i did, inexpensively. these are nothing more than scrap size pieces of vinyl left around my shop.

i had no intention of selling anything.....just throwing another option out there to you guys.
