haha, no offence, but thats exactly how i pictured yuta's house. a random throw together of car parts, crazy cooking devices, cigs, random jdm stuff, and a nice floral old chair (maybe not the chair part.)

frick yes.

are you trying to vinyl the chrome part of the tail lights?

if so, what about a product similar to VHT Nite-Shades?

it's a tinting spray.

SWEET! how long of an extension they give you?

OY! You down to hit up Thunderhill this Sunday Yuta? I'm doing a track documentary video for another forum I'm on. Need to get some dope drivers with creative minds on this series and your name stuck out like a sore thumb.

Oh and to answer your question about the vinyl, use soapy water and a squeegee (spelling?) LOL I used to do this stuff at my uncles sign shop back in the day.

the woman was a ***** so "i give you thirty day" is what i got.

nope sorry, cant go to the event, besides, i suck ***** at sliding anyways. haha.

and the vinyl...ive been using water but i cant get the vinyl to not crease because of the contours of the light...

and like Yuta II said, i might just end up taking the lights apart and spraying the inside...

but then again the euro light look is growing on me. (see matej from zilvia's car). for sure i am painting the center section body colored though.

i dunno, i wanna vinyl out the tail lights but i cant get it right so any more tips would be awesome.

PS the vinyl is on the thicker side.

Before you tear up those lights, hold off... I got another trick I learned from Calvin Wan. So while youre putting on your "new" brakes, I'll be making the vinyl look sex! That is if I remember how he did it... I just have to play around a little with some vinyl, takes a few minutes to get that groove back LOL

Edit: Why are you using vinyl to cover the lights again??? those lights are within legal specs bro.

yea sure, ill just bring the vinyl and the lights when we meet up.

i wont be using these new lights until after inspection anyways because im planning to paint the whole center section. so no more reverse lights.

No biggie, so why are you painting the lights?

You could leave like a small square or whatever for the reverse... Keep it legal LOL
