Just spray tint.
Cleaned the lens with propsol, did a few test mask's and then decided on the final design, which was simple...also used detailing tape for the bottom lines, just did 3 lines. for the top i just did a prob 1cm edge, covered everything else in tape.
2 coats for the red stuff 3 coats of the blinker bit :)

Yeah man, go right ahead, i still think you could mix it up a bit, i just wanted it simple though. And never seeing this on a 2nd gen before made it harder, so was hit and miss really.

but yeah i left the brake bit un-tinted, i think you could do something in there to mix it up, write AMC on each one lol

Do your reverse lights work? Can you see anything at night when you need to?

Especially now that the rest of the car is modded to match. :cool:
TUFFTR and others that own Lancer EVOs and Ralliart Magna's will know the smile on your face that you get when you look out the rear-view mirror and see that wing - it's wicked! :badgrin:

lol i agree with lucifer but i think wings on anything look like crap
the tail lights are different and different is usually good
well done dude

i like the way only the lower half of the lights are tinted

lol Nah man I actually love the wing, I'm ordering myself one once my bootlid plans come to fruition. TUFFTR 2 :P

Tail lights do look sweet, but Tuffy your car is a pile of ****... Leave skidmarks everywhere :P

My anus doesn't drip oil though :shock:

lol ok i guess i'm on my own about the wing then :redface:

still think a little lip spoiler would suit it better though
leave the bodykit all below the window sills :D

Most people hate it :P

Leave the body kit below the doors! I've seen some horror VL kits that resemble some sort of puffed out widebody fibreglass franken-car.

the VL's are an either love em or hate em car
me personally love all commos from VB-VK and VN-VS with the VE starting the next series
never really liked the VL's and i think the VT series looks like a rice bubble :D

nice job on the lights! makes the rear more sporty, although i think the dualies kinda covered that one lol

no1 knows that my car has a wing- an integrated one, which can only be seen either inside the car, or from directly behind :cool:

Ya know Paul, I find it hilarious how every single thread related to your car always ends up going back to the damn evo spoiler!

Your all just jealous.....I can tell lol

Those lights look really nice.....I'd love to try it myself, expect I think it'd be easy to just take yours when your not looking! :badgrin:

For some reason or another, I think the rear of your car would look better if you put the matching boot garnish on and did the same tinting effect across the garnish...personal opinion though.

filled in garnish looks mint, tinted paint looks tacky.rofl

looks good as tuffy, think i might go this with the whole rear nd of mine...lol

EDIT- Oh, and i'm going to come to your place with a battery operated grinder and cut your tailpipes at the bend :)

Well, I did mine indicators in the tint only and left the brake lights as per normal (gotta have those rear reflectors you know!) and it did give it a bit of a Euro look, especially with the charcoal metallic paint.

left the brake lights as per normal (gotta have those rear reflectors you know!)That's where Tuffy has actually been sensible, he's only tinted a little strip around the brake light.



Might be the only time he's ever been sensible with anything! :badgrin:

That's good to hear.:) I assumed they wouldn't be so bright with three lines across them.

My Camry had crappy reverse lights. I never hit anything, but it was flipping annoying.:rant:

nup
VN VP have brake lights at top and bottom with the blinker and reverse lights in the middle
if anything the TR magna lights look like an EA ED

i'd say they look more like the CB Lancer SE tail lights or the '92 Galant. Out of mitsu, I can't find anything that it mostly resembles. might be a bit closer to EF/L than EA/EB/ED IMO.

Its not really like a VP.....theres a few subtle differences that stand out to me above all others...Pauls car isn't falling apart, the lights aren't white instead of red from too much sun and it doesn't look cheap and nasty!

While we're on cars that sorta look like rear ends of 2nd gens tho, what about the Kia Optima?
http://car-reviews.automobile.com/Kia/picture/2004-kia-optima-road-test/905/1
I swear they sat down and studied the design of the 2nd gen Magnas before they built that.
