5 dolla make u holla!

i'll spill the good secret here. apparently, my job is much admired out of all.
use tamiya clear orange. 2 bux for one of those small jars. use an airbrush or airbrush "kit" for the corners(1 jar), paintbrush for the signals(1 1/2 jars). the signals should be deeper in color for this added affect(a biggie right here), so lots of layers on the signals with the paintbrush. as for the corners, try your best to color match it with the sidemarkers.

note: it's gonna get white overtime IF u detail your car maticulously. beware of quick detail sprays. they jack up the paint on the lights.

all in all, it will give the delusion of having clean headlamps. big plus. if u want i will post a picture.

Hey, those orange lights look pretty nice! Anyone know where I can pick up a cheap set of OEM corners? I'll go to the hobby shop and get some use out of my Iwata. (I don't want to do the ones on my car, I'm afraid of fuxoring them up.

I personally think it looks ugly and looks like it imitates honduh people with their " jdm amber corner lights"

lets not forget Tomei.
Tomei actually made the amber corner lights for s13 and s14 silvia.
price is usually quite hefty and very hard to find.

if u dont wanna mess up your corners you could use this expensive ass paint that ripped me off. haha it's called Film Painter. it comes in alot of transparent colors and stuff. but whats cool about it is that you can peel it whenever your over the painted corners. i was my car all the time and it doesnt peel on me so yeah. good stuff. doesnt fade either. but a can will cost you about 20 bucks.

Tu, prob off topic, but what front bumper do you plan to put on the car? or are u just waiting for a gracer lip?

TurK

possibly the gracer lip, if i can find the person that has it. i sold my aero bumper recently so that's out of the question. other choices would be a gpsports type-r front bumper, the vertex style bumper being sold in group buy thread. these are my choices for "now". i'm considering dd18 at the time being though, so i might not be in for the body stuff. i'm considering some wheels right now(r33 thread) mainly to use for spares for dd18. on top of that i have "sutff" sitting around right now screaming to be swapped on, so the front bumper wont likely be on soon. to be honest, i'm just a lagger at things because of summer school and work. hey grant, doesn't someone down there have r33 wheels? i want that shit so bad...
