#50064, "Center taillight -ideas?"
Jun-12-03 04:03 AM by wickedtalon

          

Does anyone have any ideas on what I should do w/ my center taillight? It red right now w/ the "eclipse" letters peeled off. Paint it? Has anyone painted areas on the 2 ends? I looking for ideas. Someone on here had a white eclipse w/ white paint or vinyl on the outside of their healights. Should I leave the 2 ends alone and paint the middle? i also have a full set of clears that I can play with. Does anyone know where i can get some paint that can paint my clears so that it tints them red.. instead of redding them out completely?

i also thought about tinting the corners amber color.. like the JDM ones. what do you think?

Do you know of any websites that sell the color tinting paint?

Actually I am planning on doing something with mine now. I am gonna repaint the inside of my altezza's blue and fade it out onto the center taillight peice, but not the whole way on just a mist to give the illusion of the tailights not having any given shape. I was also going to mist off the other side that stretches onto the rear quarter panel to finish off the illusion. I am going to do the same with the headlights if the tails turnout ok. Now watch someone take my idea. I shouldn't have posted this. But I will know I thought of it first if in fact someone does it.

Sorry i have no pics, but i have the stock center section. i put in about 3 0r 4 bulbs to light it up. looks pretty good imo. took a little time trying to get them to go on with the brakes. i just used the write up for the lighted altezzas. hope that helps a little.

i saw some eclipse on cardomain (cant remember who) and he left the ECLIPSE decal on and painted over it to give a 3D effect. I thought it looked good. Also i saw someones sig on here and saw he had painted the inside of his altezzas white, the same color of his car. (if you see this, how did you do that? Looks awesome!)
