I was thinking about painting my reverse light when I do my tails with the VHT Nite Shades I had. Does anybody know if this is a good idea, if this light will show threw the paint, or if anybody has done it and has tips, tricks or even pics of finished product?

 

the reverse light sucks anyways so why not
haha

 

IMOpinion, The light is not bright enough now so why paint it and make it darker thus harder to see at Nite??? Just my opinion! Nothin else here to see!!

 

i think it would look good with your car due to its color.....
i avoided doing mine cause i was going for the black/white theme...but on yours should look sick....along with your tails i'm assuming...?

 

I hate the reverse light anyways,can't see s#%t backing up is the most stupid thin scion have done,as soon as i can i'm going to get the rumion tail light and cover the bumper back up stupid light.

 

ok well Im the same on the uglyness of only putting one reverse light on this box, and it also sticks out like a sore thumb. Since I decided to do black everything else I am gonna paint that light and see what happens... If it gets totally pointless does anybody know where I can get another one besides the dealer?

 

all you have to do is use rubbing alcohol to get paint off
took off the paint on friends tails after he got ticket
its easy

 

this is why I shaved mine off, twice ;D

 

^^^ pics of you rear please!
thanks

 

yea show us ur a**

 

Thats not right I dont care who Ya are !! Show us your shaved a^%!!??

Tell me what ya'll think

 

Looks good during the day, but don't plan on seeing anything at night when backing up.

BTW, is there anything you can do to get rid of the American Toyota advertising on the back?

 

whats the best way to remove that ish without scratching the paint? I was also thinking about taking my "XB" emblem and putting it in place of the "scion" emblem....

 

for the stickers, use fingernails, for the xB emblem, use a hair dryer and dental floss ( or anything similar)

and your scion badge has 2 holes after you remove them, and I doubt the xB badge will cover the holes perfectly. btw, the tails look nice, where can I buy some VHT's? and how many coast did you put on yours?

 

I bought it off ebay for just a few dollars and I put two coats on the brake lights and only one on the reverse light. The can says dont do more than three coats because the light may not show through and I believe it cause that pic with the lights on shows how dark it really is. Booooosty did you paint the lens on your head lights
