No one has said anything about the debadging? What do you guys think about that...I like it a lot, more symmetrical

Yeah, let's calm down with the badgering folks. Nothing wrong with making your opinion known, but to keep on is antagonizing. Later, QD.

Well, lets see here:

1. Yours are smoked, not BLACKED out
2. You have LED's
3. Your headlights aren't blacked out. So I guess not ALL your lights are.

Then I guess you need to learn how to clarify what you did to your vehicle.

Seemed like the first few years for the G were not good years for the headlights. Some of the later models have gorgeous headlights.

Yes, you are, and the second part of that statement nailed my point home.

But we're doing quite well, thanks for asking.

Thanks for the comments guys. :goodjob:

And idk about taping it off instead of just taking them out, seems like doing it halfway...just spend a little more time to take the bumper off isn't that bad. It'll get done :D
06-14-2009, 07:16 PM

Taping it off would work. But then you wouldn't be able to get the little edges making little white lines to be seen at different angles. And to do those little ass rear lights youde have to tape off the whole car which is a big waste of materials which aren't cheap. It would be more economical to remove the bumper to remove the lights for a cleaner better job. And how is one suppose to wet sand and buff those lights once painted?

Your car is sick bro! I was actually thinking about that... I'll have to toy around with that idea for a while I'm not sure yet. I see you smoked the reflectors too, I plan on smoking mine when I do the reverse lights. Are your reverse lights smoked?

im not sure how you tinted them vq35 star but im assuming you tinted the clear? they look great dont get me wrong but the way i do them at the shop that i work at we just use a thinned out black base coat and then put clear over it. that way if they get scratched or if for some reason you get trash in the clear you can wet sand and buff them out.
you can see them great during the day and at night you cant tell they are smoked.

If your car is dropped it needs to be dropped a little more....other then that...nice Z.

The process I use is taking clear coat and then mixing in reduced deep black. That wet sands and bufss out perfectly. If I'm working on a high dollar car I put a regular coat of untinted clear ontop of the tinted clear for that extra shine. Using the one and a half coat of clear for both coats.

That's just the way I've always done it and have always wet sanded and buffed those. your method sounds like a good way too, but from the pics of ur stang the black doesn't look uniform when the lights are on probably bc of the over reducing.
