370z Smoked Taillights
 
4 Attachment(s)
So decided to get them smoked out instead of black. I felt that capturing a Ruby Red/Smoke effect will allow the overall look of the car to flow better..... I am happy with the results and have attached some pics, if your interest :tup:

PS: I took pics on iphone and did not clean car....sue me :tiphat:

Xander117 03-11-2011 03:13 PM

Think you made the right decision, looks good on the red.

Nele22 03-11-2011 03:13 PM

Good work

Mike 03-11-2011 08:31 PM

looks great!

SPOHN 03-11-2011 08:48 PM

Love it. What did you use for this?

Nismo221 03-11-2011 09:11 PM

looks good! and most likely it the same taillight tint everyone uses to black their lights, but just one coat instead of two. But correct me if im wrong.

b1adesofcha0s 03-11-2011 09:23 PM

Looks good! :tup:

I like the smoked look better than the black too. I used vinyl overlays for my tail lights. Did you use the overlays too, or did you get them painted?

iceman21_23 03-11-2011 09:51 PM

looks great i kinda did the same thing but i left the reverse lights alone

Carbon_z 03-11-2011 10:54 PM

they were painted and then cleared... some used the cans mixed with paint and clear. nothing beats paint and clear separate.

Its just a few costs lighter than black.. Considered medium black I guess. But this was done professional at a paint shop. I SUCK at painting lol

I wish mine were a little darker like yours, but I like having overlays since they are easily removable.

Carbon_z 03-11-2011 10:57 PM

have you thought about doing the fluid swaps? diff? tranny? etc. Your in there for a whole day why not give it a full make over! :p

I would def at least do the SS clutch line and motul fluid change. its not that expensive!

Nismo221 03-12-2011 07:03 PM

I dont need the code but want to know what kind of paint like normal body black paint or something special for the tails.

I would love to drive to drive to Z1 meet but man I am way toooo far. But I will be coming down to US to meet some of you guys in May:tup:

Carbon_z 03-16-2011 12:18 PM

I really am not sure of the paint but I will find out for you on Saturday when I see my guy. I should be getting the roof blacked out this saturday as well :) then just have the exterior and wheels to worry about
