Default Custom 08 Tailights! Gone Forever. 56K

Well everyone wants to know about it.
so here it is, i took the risk and i believe im the first to do this.
Custom 08 Taillights

DAY1









DAY2








DAY3
RAN INTO ALOT OF PROBLEMS!
the VHT kept cracking when we were apply it so tomm will be an all nighter until they are done cuz i need them for Sat.
Heres all we got done tonight.





DAY4
This is where it all went wrong





So as you can see we tried just about everything and nothing worked.

DAY5 (not including the days off, lol.)








DAY6
COMPLETE AND INSTALLED!












Well it only took me 2 months but i finally got some daytime pics. Sorry theyre not the greatest and everything is dirty. These were taken in the autobody shops yard while the car was awaiting a towtruck to be hauled away forever. yea, it was totalled and the lights will be lost forever.

i was thinking about starting a core exchange program for people that are interested in this but afraid to do the work themselves.

the only thing is that the turn around time would exaclty be so fast cuz this is really time consuming, and i go to work and school both full time so i dont have that much free time to begin with.

let me know if anyone is interested.
it may be a possiblity depending on how many ppl are down.
