If you're worried about it, drive with your lights on.

OK first lets applaud Sanjuro for making such a great post..

This is my Story

Well it didnt go AS smooth as I would have liked. I couldnt get the damn clip off between the bumper and the tail. I was PULLING and TUGGING and BENDING and I just stopped. I didnt want to risk hurting my love

So I did it the womenly way
Enjoy the pics!

Before


Taping her sexyness up


I did use a whole can on just the tails...funny cause I thought theyd be darker with the whole can...


I was checking to see if ummm I was even


Baking in the sun


After wet sanding


Adding Clear Coat


again Clear Coat


And sitting for the night....



Ill take more pics once I reconnect the lights and remove all my lovely plastic and clean her all up


OK I couldnt wait anymore so I pulled the plastic off and wiped her down and reconnected the lights. I wont be able to do them darker right now cause we are expecting rain but if I decide it wont be till after the weekend. I still think they came out pretty good.



GOsh Damit shes SeXy!

Here are my tails on my BSP...





I live in Bellflower/Lakewood and this area is overflowing with sherriffs. As soon as I finished it up, I stopped at an intersection and the police pulled up behind me. Haven't been bothered yet, and cops see me all the time.

I can't speak for all national chain auto parts stores, but I've never seen it at Orielly's, Auto Zone, or Advance Auto. Not sure about Pep Boys or Napa. There may be a custom shop or something that may carry it near you, but I would recommend phoning ahead before driving around to check.

Anybody else from SoCal that can chime in?

I'm not in Cali...I'm in New Hampshire, but I stumbled upon the VHT last night by accident when I stopped by a performance auto parts place looking for trim rings for my xB...I planned on doing this to my xB but was waiting to order the cans until I found them last night...what luck!!!

With that...has anyone done this to their xB? I plan on doing it this weekend but looking for any advice before I take the plunge...

Thanks!!!
