Making your own amber corner lights is teh win

[zomgdrft]

Started on them this evening on my way home from work. Only took a couple hours. Stopped by Michael's (arts & crafts) and picked up 2 cans of stained glass paint (1 yellow and 1 red). They don't make orange stained glass paint so you have to combine it to make your own shade of orange/amber. They only sell the primary colors.

Turned out pretty good IMO. Sure beats spending $200 getting some Tomei JDM ones.

Don't make fun of my primer white S14, it's getting painted soon :x:

Picture thread buddy. It'll fade in a bit btw. I did the same with my old fastback's taillights.

It's not painted yet, therefore, not worthy of that thread, haha. Once it's painted I'll post several pics in that thread.

It's a picture thread. Meaning you can put whatever you want in it. It's better than making a thread just to show off painted ambers IMO.

Difference of opinion.

I wanted to do a write-up, but I was to lazy :\
Figured someone had already done one too.

I'm just curious. How does him making a new thread affect anyone's life at all?

Ohnos, theres a thread I don't want to read... lets see... I think im gunna click on it and bitch about it.

[articdragon192]

Keeps clutter out.

[jesuchristo]

Clutter? This isn't clutter... He told us how to make some amber lenses... im sure its useful info to someone.

What would you consider non-clutter? "Harhar I doriftoed into a curb lol!!11"

Amber lights are a been there done that type of thing, which is why there is no need to make a new thread about it.

Arguing with how things are run on here is why u got hit with the neg rep bus.

[jesuchristo]

Oh no, there are little red squares next to my name... my life is worthless now...

If there's no need to make a new thread about the ambers, then why bump the thread bitching about it, why not just PM the original poster with your suggestion? If mr. posi rep up there didn't come in the thread trying to bash it, it would have probably fallen back by now. But since you decide to bitch about it, everyone has to look at it because its back on top of the posts.

IF THE THREAD IS WORTHLESS WHY ARE YOU BUMPING IT?!?!?

MORON.

[articdragon192]

Cause that way others can catch on to the idea of not making a thread about something that's commonly done. Notice I was the first reply, and hoping to be the only reply before this got closed, which I'm sure it will. I stated there's a picture thread for this stuff, for him, and anyone else who saw this thread, to go to and know about. Not only that, but I commented on the work and such. It's not bitching, it's just letting him know the ropes around here.

[jesuchristo]

nevermind blah lol

[articdragon192]

It's info that's been discussed already. It's like trying to reinvent the wheel.

[usdm180sx]

Yeah, and all the threads that were locked were posted by noobz who posted something that has already been discussed because they posted without searching. Something you didn't notice.

[zomgdrft]

Awesome guys, thanks for completely ruining my thread, you're all douchebags for arguing stupid pointless crap. I hope you get e-AIDS.

edit: And personally, condensing all pics of everyones car on this forum (at any point in time) into one specific thread is completely retarded. As stated, I'll poist a pic of my car in the official "pic thread" but until then, I should have no restrictions on posting my car showing something neat I did to it. If you don't like it, just ignore it and it'll float off the first page faster, thank you.

[usdm180sx]

Unsubscribing. Have fun!

Awesome, that does look like better stuff. I'll remember that if it starts to fade any time soon. Thanks.

See, perhaps you missed something here, he didn't tell anyone how to do shit, he said it himself:

I wanted to do a write-up, but I was to lazy :
Figured someone had already done one too.
In the real world, this means that he really just wanted to show off, especially given that someone had already done what he was showing off anyway. Pretty pointless, huh?

I am so glad that this e-AIDS you mention doesn't exist, because by your math, you should have contracted for the very act of having started this pointless thread.
Furthermore, I am GLAD your personal opinion does not run this forum, because I could imagine a "hey, look at my [item that has been done a thousand times before]" thread every day, 50million times a day. Can you imagine the amount of information that would actually be USEFUL that would be blocked by the front-page clutter this situation would create?
No one really cares about your amber lights, it has been done, no one cares about your white primer, no one is going to ask you what color you're going to paint or when you're going to paint. If you want to show off pictures and not offer any substance, then use the picture thread. If the concept of a picture thread is so beneath you, then leave.

*edit*
Nice try, but the grey means you accomplished absolutely nothing:
