lol.. i just got on right quick to see this topic.. but yea im about to go take them off and paint em black.. here i go..

ooh by the way i got my intake today.. lol.. took me about 20 minutes to install.. I LOVE THIS THING!!..

 

nice

so your on a bit of a shopping spree then. lol. what else you got on the way?

 

lmao.. yea a shopping spree i guess.. these r suppose to be my christmas presents.. now i gotta wait till my birthday in Feb.. ooh and i got an A2 UDP on the way too.. i had headlights on the way too but there was an error with the shipment im tryin to get werked out.. i ended up with 2 pairs of these tail lights..

 

you can just paint the headlights yourself. save a bit of money.

 

heres the pics.. i plan to take some tomorrow in the day light..

 

NICE!!!! great job

what paint did you use? how did you stick the letters back on after you had removed em?

 

thanks.. i was worried about putting the letters on crooked so i let my wife put them on.. lol.. first i removed the letters with the dental floss and the hair dryer.. then while the letters sat in a hot bowl of water and dish detergent to degrease them for paint i rubbed away as much of the left over glue as possible with windex and a old t shirt.. then i cleaned the trunk with water and dried it and dried the letters.. then i gave the letters about 3 coats of Krylon Matte Black spray paint.. the paint has a high guard against heat.. its meant for barbeques and shyt.. then i used some 3M double sided tape.. cuttin the tape into small bits was the hardest part if not you would be able to see the tape after the letters are on the car.. in a nut shell.. lol

by the way i disconnected the key hole for the trunk and painted it black as well..

 

that simple.

i will give it a bash. although i'd be a little worried about putting the letters back on wrong. maybe i will just tape them off and spray them while they are still attached to the car.

 

i though about that.. but wut about the inside of the A and the R..

 

hmmmm yeh, i didn't think of that. grrrr. why does everything have to be so complicated

 

i love your tail lights, they look awesome. and i agree with everyone else get some rims, with everything your doing, rims would look awesome. and i think a spoiler would be nice, but thats everyone's own opinion, u dont need one. the black lettering, AWESOME. your car is nice!!

 

here are some shots in the day time.. by the way the 3M tape does NOT look like its going to give up either..

P.S. should i paint my grill matte black too.. im about to go do it right now.. but im chilling wit my son..

 

put mesh in the grill and paint it black. like mine. it will look sweet with your black headlights
