• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Where to start, upgrading GTP

NGK TR55IXs or Autolite XP606s or AcDelco 41-101 will be a good replacement plug.
are those led tail lights you have? I just bought some but yours look darker than mine! Idk if I like man because the LED part has too much clear if you know what i mean..
 


It depends on the light they can look dark or light. In this pic they look light.

even in the light your still doesn't look the same as mine. There is a lot of clear in the middle of mine where the LEDs are. Mine are Sonar LED Tail Lights (Smoke)
 
if you want them to be darker add some tint.

mine are only 2 coats. kinda like russ up there mine are lighter and darker as per the light they are in.

in the sun.

I just need to figure out the proper way to tint them before I install them.
 
i followed this how to. pretty much how we all do it. its really pretty simple. my tails were my first shot at it. they came out damn good.

awesome, thanks. I will try to get to that this weekend. I think this will help me like them much more!
 
just dont do more then 3 light coats, or no light will come through at all. a little goes a long way. it dont look so dark but by coat two it started to look dark. why i stopped at 2 coats.

you'll want to mask the tails off too.

scuffed prepped and masked off. i masked off my back up lights, cause i like them lol

after the tint drys spray em with a few coats of clear coat. let them dry for a day, then wet sand again with 2,000 grit paper and then do the compounding.

finished and installed day one.

i did these like 3 years ago now. all i do to them is a light compounding when i wax the car and then wax them. they look the same still as seen by the other pics. those are from last summer and fall.
