Disappointed with VHT Nite-Shades - Washed/Waxed Pics

[TrueBlue03]

looks pretty good! Just watch out for Santa Clara cops, they can be pretty picky with mods

oh yeah, there's a couple of cool parking garages in Los Gatos that pretty nice for some pics. I used them for my Mach 1, probably the best I took

thanks man....yeaaa those cops do get annoying. but on a side note...
i remember you sayin somethin earlier to me about santa clara cops... did you live there or go to school there? did you know i went to santa clara univ?? lol

is it wrong that I wanna rape your car?

seriously, your car is the reason I tell people with true blue to go with chrome rims. Very nice

How much is the light output affected with them being that dar?

Down here in SoCal, people have a hard enough time seeing the brake lights with no tinting... if I were to do that I'd probably be asking for some dumba$$ to destroy my rear bumper because he didn't see the bright lights of my brakes.

 

[speedfreak98r]

thanks!! its nice to hear someone likes my car. what do you think about removing the ford emblem from the trunk?? would that help clean up the rear a little??

Your car = Teh Win!
Sooo sickly mean looking. I think it would clean it up a bit to take that Ford emblem off. Just my .02

You should be able to clean them up pretty good. I went with the 50% vinyl from autobadges.

i'd say the light output has been cut down to about 60% of the original brightness

i think im going to see if i can find some kind of clear coat or somethin to make it a lil glossier. now that my car is gettin the s281 spoiler, the lights now look pitch black under the wing because it provides a lil shade for them. haha i dont know if this is good or bad yet....but heres a lil preview of what its gonna look like

 

[SaleenGT2001]

how much was that spioler?? i think i might switch my s351 for that one

 

[TrueBlue03]

you can get the s281 wing off of speedworx.com for 179.99

BUT expect absolutely terrible fitment and quality with the s281 wing. my first wing was pitted and cracked and warped so bad, 6 body shops refused to touch it. so i argued with saleen for nearly 2 months to get the one i have now... its rough, but in the end i know i will love the look, so im stickin with the s281 wing.

 

[SaleenGT2001]

so the speedworx is better than the saleen?

 

[TrueBlue03]

well actually, speedworx sells authentic saleen parts. i just recommended them because of their prices, and their customer service. hanley motorsports is also a good place to buy it from.

i was just tryin to warn you a lil that the s281 wings arrive in pretty bad shape....the shop whos doin mine estimates over $500 but i'm tryin to talk him down a bit.

Hey congrats on the graduation!! Fellow MI guy here, but I'm sweating my arse off over in Iraq. Only 5 weeks left though!!! Then I'm off to be an instructor in Arizona

thanks!! its nice to hear someone likes my car. what do you think about removing the ford emblem from the trunk?? would that help clean up the rear a little??

Is it a steeda embelem?

I tried to remove my for badge on the back but there was a hole there but IMO it doesnt look out of place at all and id prolly keep it.

 

[SaleenGT2001]

yea its a steeda emblem. i need to take that off.

 

[02GTdroptop]

Fellow MI guy here, but I'm sweating my arse off over in Iraq.

I'll be there soon enough; I deploy ~August.

Ah, teaching at Arizona. I know what that means.

i remember you sayin somethin earlier to me about santa clara cops... did you live there or go to school there? did you know i went to santa clara univ?? lol

born and raised in the shadow of Great America I went to SJ State though. Yeah, I had all sort sof run-ins with valley cops. They loved my Cobra

 

[mity2]

i like my niteshades spray. if you put it on in LIGHT COATS like the directions tell you to you wont have any problems. also a good clear coat will bring the shine out!!! try the wetsanding and then clear those babys. i think they look good on your car!!

u need to fix your driver side tail pipe dude

I've been tellin everyone to just spend $10 on Vinyl tint from Walmart.
Did it year ago, and still look nice as day i did

[SaleenGT2001]

the tail pipe has been fixed about a month ago. i tried the walmart static cling tint but it started peeling in the corners. not too bad for spending $3 at wally world though. i just decided to use the nite shades and it worked great

 

[SaleenGT2001]

is there really a hole behind the ford emblem?

 

[984.6gt]

clearcoat them
