look what i got done =)

Well over the weekend I took a drive down to TruFiber headquarters in Corona, CA and look what i got done...

I got my TruCarbon Blackout Panel put on and my tail lights smoked!

Note: Tail lights were done by Sam @ Stage3Motorsports (he did a fantastic job) a few other guys got there tails smoked as well, maybe we will get lucky and they will post up there pic's as well

BEFORE


AFTER


Side Note, these pic's were taken right after install, so there are some smudges at the bottom from finger prints, not flaws in the product


What do you guys think of my new mods =)?

EDIT: Adding more pic's









EDIT #2: 2 pic's with lights on and a video

Not sure how I feel about this...The blackout panel is an interesting look for sure. They did a nice job on the tinted tails though. How's the back up lights with that done?

Why the carbon fiber panel? looks a bit outta place. As it doesn't relate to anything else.

And while some like the aggresive blackout tail light look- it's not my thing- I did a medium tint on mine and left the reverse open.


Glad you like it tho. Looks to be good craftsmanship nonetheless.

so far its definitely more dim, but i can still see the light even with limo tint so I'm good so far. But I'm also not backing into any dark holes. Everywhere i park my car has lighting inside. and believe it or not, you guys see how dark these are, but our tail lights are very bright. The show completely! i'll have to take a picture tonight for you guys.

I personally wasn't fond of losing my faux gas cap, but after i saw one in person on another Kona Blue, i was started liking it more and more. I'm glad i chose this route with the Faux Gas Cap Removal.

and yeah Sam did a fantastic job with the tints. We did a group buy deal with him so he gave us a great price. He is located in Ocean side by the way, so if anyone is looking to get Tint or paint or custom Air brush work check him out. He works with Stage3Motorsports

lol un safe? how so? when the lights are on you can see them 100% thanks to the great bulbs they put in the 11's, only when the lights are off it looks this dark =P

I'll be sure to get a couple pic's with the lights on this after noon when its not raining

hey if ur happy thats all that matters! not my cup of tea though, I feel the care is too dark for the total black out and I think the blackout panel should be black instead of the carbon fiber. I was thinking of doing my tail lights when I get my Yellow blaze(T-minus 15 days but who's counting lol) but i somehow want to leave the reverse lights white! I thing that would look interesting but it could also look a hawt mess! lol

Too dark IMHO. I know here in MO this would only get you a ticket.

Important thing is you like those mods. This is definately not my cup of tea as well. Way too dark back there IMO. Too much all at the same place.

I agree, it makes it clash since it's so dark.

But if you're happy, it's your car. Best of luck.

all you have to do is tape over the reverse lights =)

i was going to do that but at the last second took the tape off, decided i would only want the light showing if i were smoking the tail lights on a light colored car, not dark blue lol

Not my style but looks like they did a nice job. Not too far from my stomping grounds of OC.

Now just ditch the cheesy license plate frame Frameless FTW

Well it is unique and you made it your own. These cars are usually customized in one way or another, but I personally don't like it.

added 2 pic's one with lights on, one with breaks on, and a video, sorry but video isn't the best quality


this is for all you old men who think smoking your tail lights makes them impossible to see =)
