Should I do it?

[fiyota]

Should I tint my front signals, side markers, and tails? I threw a quick photochop together to see how it would look and I think it looks really good with my grey paint.. I have yet to see a grey metallic supra with tinted tails... Keep in mind i'm switching to the 89+ set of tails and 3-piece spoiler I have when I get a full set of mouldings and paint my car so this is just temporary...

First the fronts:

Then the tails:

They will be shinier in the end after they get clearcoated wich will be an improvement over my slightly faded tailights now... Also, I will be having my windows tinted and will be going with black rims with a polished lip (fno1r-c's) down the road too! Oh and of course... I will be getting another pre89 front lip aswell.

opinions welcome!

That would look pretty good actually!

Or if you want to keep them stock, and just make them look good again, you can buff all of the plastic with swirl mark/scratch remover, then wax, and your lights will look like new!

go for it.. i don't think it would look bad at all

 

[Ckanderson]

Of course! it looks so much better.. even better would be 89+ lights

looks nice, my JDM signals are that color (but you cant see them because of the blinker covers)...

paint your foggies yellow, and paint your center piece black, you'll be ballin'

I vote yes!

^ Ditto.

JDM fogs? yay or nay...

I think i'll leave the center piece body coloured.. so I think i will tint them... and if I don't like, I'll it throw my 89+ tails on and call her a day with the slightly mismatched trim piece.

I already did that with them, and they look so much better than before, but I think tinted with actual clear coat over them will look much better... especially after I tint my windows and my side markers...

 

[johnathan1]

Nay on the painted fog lights...(those aren't JDM, BTW...)

And You don't HAVE to have mismatched trim...just stick your pre-89 trim piece over the JDM trim. (Look at my sig)

 

[Ckanderson]

nay on yeller fogs.

 

[RazoE]

wow, those are piss yellow..

i used a nice dark orangy/yellow on my fogs almost amber...

try "Tamiya Color 'x-24' ", im sure there are more than 1 kinds of yellow..

Or buy the real deal,

Broke ass MK3 owners.

Balls?

 

[fiyota]

i just posted it as a reference to what it might look like, frankly i wouldn't paint my fogs or even think about doing it, if I wanted yellow fogs I would get some jdm ones.
