This was covered before , except about coupes. soon to be a DIY maybe. Please Don't Customize A Sedan Like You Would A Coupe. It's funny seeing a 4 door zooming past yah, moreover a Bling'ed-out one.[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

BTW Aren't the tailights of Sedans only like 3"x6"? WTF is there to paint?

Gosh. IBTL

Different I'll give him that. Would probably look better if he lost that wing. IMO, kinda cheapens something that could've looked pretty sweet.

would be interesting to see how the sedan would turn out. just paint whatever parts dont light up, and dont paint over the reflector. then you're still legal!

Yeah seeing lancers zoom by you is real funny
and why are you even posting stupid messages like this the guy asked for help and all you said is IBTL. Maybe you should stop trying to make your post count go up and actually help someone for a change.

and yeah back to you player
I don't think it would be a great idea to paint the tails on the sedan I mean the back up lights are square and they light up very plain it would look ugly as hell if you did that to your sedan. Take my advice and leave that to that coupe tails and go buy some JDM hybrid tails your much better off then smoking your stock tails silver[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

That guy is different than the guy who did it on here. The guy from this site didn't paint the side triangle reflector.

You're right. The car in the pic here is illegal. He doesn't have any rear side markers or reflector.

I tried to smoke my tail lights but they melted before I could get them lit good. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Ok, apparently my thread got moved from other parts and products to tech stuff so that old link doesn't work. Here is the new link. If anyone has any other questions about what I did, ask in the other thread.
