reminds me of a trans am with the taillights like that and the fenders like that, and the spoiler
It was virtually impossible to remove the paint off the back of the center lens. I tried all kinds of paint removing products with bad/damaging results. Poodles(SM member here) says he did it by scrubbing it off with Castrol super clean but the paint on my lens didn't budge using it. If it does work, it would have taken days of scrubbing.
I too tried to get the paint off with chemicals and had no success. I think however it could be done with some type of blasting technique. Glass bead, sand or maybe even dry ice might be the way to do it.

Damn that looks fu*^%ng awsome. good, good work man.
I would pay to get my lights done like that. :aigo:

Personally, I'd leave the center unlit with the normal lamps on, and make it come on as third brake light (that's my stealth third brake light design idea, giving away info here).
Yes, it took WEEKS of scrubbing and soaking to get the nearly 20 year old paint off. If you tried with a new one fresh from Toyota...

LOL, the only issue is on his setup he's JDM tails. Removing the paint on the center section may make it too light...
Thanks! Here's some on-car pics:
In darker lighting, the tails turn up orange with my camera, and get blurry. It's not easy to get a good photo of these.

Looks incredible!
I know this is asking alot but... I would love to see a short video clip of the lights..applying brake lights...turns, etc. It would really give everyone a better look at them in action. Just a thought.

I wasnt to sure about how they would look when i first saw them and i didnt really like how the red LED's went all the way over to where the blinkers are but now seeing how they look on the car im impressed and i think they look really good!! Very nice job!! :icon_surp
