my cheap project for the day!

[mity2]

Well, no class today, and my GF is at work makin' big bucks. So i got bord.
So i dicided to make my own smoked tail light like that on the famous black Cobra. But i refused to pay ass lod of money for it

So far its costing me $12.19, and hour of my time. not the greatest, but it look good from 5ft away. i still need to work the air and water out of it. what you guys think?

at your local friendly Walmart. its called something like Static sealing vinyl Tint or something like that. its think vinyl unlike real tint. so u can use and reuse them as many times as u want. come in 24"X78" roll

Great job, mang!
I think yours actually seems darker than his, but it could be the time of day the photo was taken (light effects).

I missed that....I think someone earlier said your tails looked brighter than the Cobra, but that was probably because yours were on a barstool, accepting light from all angles.

I love those tail lights.

this may be a dumb question, but how and where do you apply the vinyl?

 

[Evenflow]

Looks OK.

That guy has the $49.99 tail light tint. You can peel them off,and put them back on as you wish which is what I like about those. So, if you get pulled over for them you can simply tear them off.

well, its like foodwrap. get sheet of foodwrap and press it aginst window. u see how it works. u squeeze air out and sticks by static seal.
