Very nice write up, but why do you have to use all that vinyl? Wouldn't the red and carbon fiber be enough?

and those tail lights look crappy compared to the correct 180sx altezzas...
this was my "conversion" i did a few years ago... looks more like the rear 180sx lights with the bubbled lenses.

how'd you do the bubble effect to make it look like the kouki tails?
