I have the same look on the tails, almost identical. I used color blending clear with concentrated red dye, then I top coat cleared them. I also have 19" wheels, looks good man.

Rims look horrible, take them off immediately and ship to 36116. I will use, oops, dispose of them for you. Naturally, I will send you my stock ones.









J/K, car looks great! As 19s go, they look very well sized on your car. The drop looks very clean too. Nice job!

Absolutely. Looks great & clean. When you put in reverse, does the white shine through red or more white? Thanks

He painted the outside and yes reverse shows red. I'm just amazed that you have absolutely NO orange peel from a spray can. Did you wetsand them at all?

Edit: Forgot to include, wow your car looks incredible, clean, awesome, and in excellent taste. And I don't throw out compliments that often

The paint can be found on ebay...thats where i got it from


as for orange peel..just make sure you clean the taillights and make sure you get every spec of dirt off.....no wet sand required

just make sure you let them dry overnight
