i think that they are called nish tailights or something. the ones that look like a chevy astro vans lights. also, abuot how much should the cost??

They are the factory ones. He candies it with any color of your choice then uses clear coat. It's quite time consuming and a lot of work.

He has done several....if you are interested, please PM me or Nilo (xbboy) so I can get you his contact information.

Pictures?




Thx.

Here are my blue tails that Nish did for me...

Don't go out there and copy everyone else, have your own unique identity and ask for something original, Gary always has some tricks up his sleeves...

Im doing my own this week. Total cost for supplies.... $15.00. There is a "how-to" in the tech section....

good luck man..like Ted said it's not as easy as it looks...and the lenses do turn dull after a couple of weeks. I tried to do it myself on my 4-runner before I sold it.

They do look like factory finish because not only does he color them, but he also puts a few layers of clear coat on there so they are completly smooth and will hold up to the elements. I have never seen such a perfect piece of crafstmanship. I would never consider buying any other tailights since these ones are so pristene and unique.

Wow, this is my 999th post... :D

how much would it be to smoke them ??

I am clear coating them too. so they should look pretty good...... ill post pics when im done.

What type of clear are you using? Make sure it has UV protection like automotive grade clear or it will still fade. Here is a picture of Gary's Hot Lava..

thanks dude. just what i was looking for. i am def going to try this myself for 10 bucks before i send them outto have someone else do. thats the main resson i hook my car up, so i can say that i did that. not that i had someone do it.

i had the vinyl overlays from www.bluebatmobile.com, they are like $25 and look great.

Ya, and if you ever get tired of the look and want to switch to smoke or vise versa, they can be removed :wink: . The Redouts have been quite popular lately :) .

Keep an eye on them, because i use to do that and it faded. Model paint isnt UV protected.

I saw Gary's work in Bakersfield. Man, do they look sweeeeet! Contemplating redout of my stock ones and selling my TYC's..............maybe.
