so i pretty much hate the stock evo taillight with that nasty altezza look..
i wanna get a pair of jdm evo VII tails but unfortunatly i have bills to pay and a slipping clutch..

i was thinking about buying some sheets of Red tailllight film and doing a little overlay on the stock tails to make them fully red.
i figure its as cheap and close to the jdm tails i could get.. plus it might look pretty good actually and i got nothing to loose i mean if i dont like it i could just pull it off u know?.. well anyway was really wondering if anyones ever dont this before? if so how does it look? ik its a paiin in the *** i've instaled taillight tints before very time consuming.

but does anyone have pics of this done??

should i do it? gimme some opinions..

this is what it looks like on a wrx.. http://www.decalfx.com/red_tail_light_film.html

the only difference in look would be the little bar reverse light/blinker bar (??) on the bottom of the taillight would be red as the jdm VII's its like white..

 

im actually going to go throu these guys for my headlights, fitment looks good and it doesnt look like you have a vinyl piece on lol. good luck!

 

thanks man im just a little nervous on how its gunna look i wish someone had a pic of it done before..

 

id be interested to see this too

 

why not just buy the replica tails evodave or many others actually crack open paint etc??

 

Humm......wanna see... even though i seen enough, haha.

 

I would be worried of the film coming off as I'm driving to be honest. But IMO, I think it'll look good!

 

yeah i think im gunna go for it.. as in the film comming off. i think it'll be fine. i've installed these accept black, on a friend of mines car and shes had them on for about a yr now and they haven't even started to peel

 

.. hmm how much does he charge for this.. since my cars out cuz of a blown clutch i could prolly tak'em off nd send them..

where can i ssee some of these tails?

i kinda liek the fact that if i want, i could just peel off the vinyl.. you know?

 

lol he charges 165 to black them out so i assume make them evo 7 style is the same price or cheaper + shipping of course i can ask him or have him pm you. Forget that peeling off crap. you can buy evo 8 tails off this fourm for like 80 if you choose you want to go back and sell your painted ones.

 

I just tested the search feature and you can, infact find threads with images of how this will look.

Good luck!

 

.....where?

 

What about Lamin-X?

 

thinkin about getting a set of evo 8 tails for cheap and doing this possibly.
