Ok guys,

The OEM heads will hate the idea but personally I was really happy with how it turned out. I couldn't spend 1000 on buying the trunk, lights, coding, painting & fitting but, I just thought this was a simpler solution.
I'm not too sure if anybody has done this but its just an idea for a lower budget mod.

every thing that i used was bought on eBay.
*Red Light Tint,
*Gloss black vinyl.
*Knife less vinyl tape (Or just an x-acto knife)

Thats it!

I did this over a few weeks, waiting for eBay items to come is a pain in the ass, especially if there from China.

OK so here is my car before i tinted the tail lights with the red tint.



Now here is the car tinted with out the cutouts. Now you may have to layer the tint if it's the cheap stuff so make sure u buy the best if you want to avoid colour difference.



Now this is the last step and the most difficult. to avoid any bubbles make sure to buy the bubble free gloss black vinyl. just take the strip and bring it across the whole top panel of the trunk.

PS mine has been redone as the cut's on the lights were off :P



there you go. just thought id give you and idea for a cheap mod!

sorry if its in the wrong tread!

Peace

I know, i didn't expect it to turn out so well, but in fairness you cant complain for $30 you wouldn't get the light wires for that lol.

You could possibly also just Plasti Dip that part of the trunk (boot for you across the pond).. It can be easily removed as well..

No one noticed that when he colored the upper part of the light the car grew a dual exhaust tip?

it looks a little photoshopped tbh. can you post some close up pics of the black vinly on the top of the inner light?

You can see the edge of the light through the vinyl so i doubled it up. It's not photoshopped LOL. I have a an f10 now, i just thought i'd put up the pics as i found them on my phone today and thought someone else might find them interesting.

Ya that would be a good idea too but its a bit more costly and i just wanted to give the car a bit of an edge when i was selling it. you'd need alot of glossifier tho.
