Last weekend i had to throw my winters on just because i wasnt gonna b back to Toronto b4 the snow hits *later tonight*. So i threw my original 15s on, and noticed they are starting to pit. So i decided i was gonna paint em. So i spent maybe..20 min tonight cleanin them, then i masked off the tires and did some quick painting.
![]() ive only got the 1 done right now cuz i started to feel sick but while i was at it, i did sarahs hub caps because shes back on her stock 14s for the winter ![]() ![]() But b4 i decided to do my wheels, i started on my newest project. Some custom tails for sarah's coupe. We have an extra set of OEM tails laying around the garage we pickedup from a scrap yard. So for x-mas, i decided i was gonna get her some currens, but then i relized..i dont have any $..lol So instead, i spent $30 and decided to try and make some clear tails fallen hero style. This is what ive done so far ![]() thats with the clear plastic over top of it right now Im still debating on if i wanna throw the clear lens back on, or if i wanna do the whole office lighting material way ![]() or, im also thinking of kinda doing a glazed window kinda look and make it more like a BMW style tail light. either way, i also picked up a set of red LED bulbs to put behind the plastic. ![]() What do you guys think?

bit of an update. I put the finaly layer of expoxy on the tail light on Friday afternoon. But, the temp went down about...6 degrees that night and its been below freezing for the last few days. So i brought the tail light inside and put it beside the heater in the living rooom. So the final product.
![]() I also made some clear sidemarkers for sarahs car too. ![]() ![]() ![]() So i now have another set of front turns in the mail right now that i should b gettin in a few days. So when they come in, the turns are gonna be done. |

![]() Is that the clear plastic or did you use the office stuff? I can't tell. Looks good but I think you should cut off the extra glue and buff the clear plastic 'cause it looks faded and scratched up against the red. |
