Did you do a final wet sand and buff with rubbing compound on the tails?

They should look like this:

 

You got a lot of orange peel on them as well.

 

A-Tech Erasers.. nice choice. i have the same in gunmetal.

 

Your car needs to be dropped-badd

 

Nice! Now Drop IT! :D

 

THAT car is screaming DROPPPPPPPPPP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

For all of you yelling to "drop it", I think he knows that already...

 

Not by the looks of the pictures

 

haha thank you lol. I am trading this car in in about 2 months im gettin another black tC just in stick. I am taking everything off this car, except the tints and the tails, and turning it back to stock and carrying everything over to the new one which i will drop. just don't wanna go through the hassle of installing them then taking them out in 2 months.

Can you specify this orange peel you're talking about??

Yeah after spraying with the NiteShades, I used 2k grit to sand to a haze, clear coated 2 or 3 times and have polished with Turtle Wax Rubbing Compound with just a polish applicator and rubbed off. They are a lot shinier in person, cameras pretty crappy

 

looks good

 

rims are nice

 

LOWER YOUR BIGFOOT!!!, THEN YOULL BE ROLLIN'

 

Orange peel is usually caused from not enough sanding. You want to LIGHTLY sand the VHT until there are no more bumps or imperfections. Then spray the clear on thick (I spray it on until I can see my reflection in it), allow it time to dry to the touch, lightly wet sand any orange peel off, re-clear again, then wet sand again. The tail light will look dull and flat....then use rubbing compound on a buffer or a dual action polisher (3M Rubbing Compound works the best). Lastly apply numerous coats of wax of your choice and the end result should be shiny like these:

ohh alright i gotchya. Yeah i only wet sanded once for quite a bit then just cleared and polished. this was my first time and im gettin rid of the car so now I'm prepared for next time. Thanks a lot for the help!!

PM me with price and pictures or something, that would be great! Also pictures of the 05-07 model tails with the brakes applied would be great! thanks!
