Whats the best thing to do, use or have to paint the center tail light

I just had the body shop paint mine when it was in getting the turbo spoiler painted.

How much did it cost you to have the center piece painted by the body shop?..and did you have the ECLIPSE put back on it....Thanks

I had mine painted, then put the letters back on.

How much did that cost you??

25$ to have it painted, 24$ for the new eclipse letters

Sorry for all the questions but...did you put the letters back on yourself or did you have the bodyshop do it...and will it cost me $24 to put them on if I already have the letters....again sorry for all the questions...I hope they make since..Thanks

I had mine painted by the body shop when they filled the holes. He didn't charge me extra.



You can pick up the ECLIPSE letting from the dealership and put it on yourself. Just make sure it's centered right and that the I goes right under the keyhole. I'm planning on keeping it letterless though.

What do you put the lettering on with.....just any type of glue??

Nah, it comes with adhesive backing. Just peel it and stick it on.

OOOO.....sounds good.....Thanks alot.

The body shop painted mine for free. I also left the letters off.

What in the hell happened to my pic above?

I was wondering the same thing

cost me 60 bucks first time i did it with the body shop.... and also put the letters back on.... but the second time it was part of the whole paint job cause i changed the color or the paint......
it all depends on where you live..... i live in bergen co in nj and it's considered one of most expensive places to live in the USA

cost me like 75 cause fucking gayass maaco fucked it up and did the wrong damn color and wouldn't fix it caus they are pieces of shit lousy fuckheads that shouldn't be allowed to be near a bucket of paint unless they are painting walls in bathrooms..stupid fucks. but anyways..i took it to a professional body shop and they fixed it all and had to sand down the old paint and re-primer it and shit..cost me like $75.. i too didn't put back on the eclipse letters..instead i bought a TURBO emblem and put that on instead.

I was cruisin cardomain one day and saw that someone left the eclipse letters on and painted over them. It looked pretty cool cause it had a 3d effect. I don't know if you would have to sand the letters or anything, but I think it looks good and will probably do that after we get the C/F altezza's (which will be a long time cause were gettin all the performance/functional thinds done first).

hey guys i painted mine myself w/ black lacour and clear lacour from home depot 3 coats of each, black first of course. came out perfect, i love it. can't even tell it wasn't like factory paint. here you go guys.

Wow, that looks pretty good Vinh. The stupid idiots that painted my car did a pretty crappy job on the centerpiece. You can see drips where the clear coat ran a little bit. I'm thinking geesh, I could have probably done a better job myself. x(
