c-lo Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Between sets training my client I was staring at my car and thought it would look really cool if Subaru integrated the reverse lights into the tail lights. Especially on the wagon. Think it would give the tailgate a nice clean look. Especially since I just de-badged it. thoughts? 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c-lo Posted April 13, 2005 Author Share Posted April 13, 2005 too bad they didn't on the wagon. 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Kevin at SoD PM'ed me and told me he had die-cut tinted vinyl ready for the back-up lights. As soon as he replies back with a link, I will buy them. Couldn't find them on hotsubaru.com . Going to paint the chrome black and black out the reverse lights.

KevinSoD Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Hey, I thought I included the link when I PM'd... Sorry. It is nutty here. They are mixed in with the tails at the moment - HERE Under the select your vehicle drop-down select " reverse light '05 Legacy wagon " and all will be well It may eventually get its own page, but as you may guess - building a new site from the ground up is FUN & EASY... Yesterday we also added third brake light covers for the factory wings on the '05 Legacy and Outback Sedans! This was the posting in the vendor thread HERE Sorry for the delay, as you can imagine we have all been hard at work with the web presence change. We have added covers for the LED third brake lights on the wagons (the ones in the roof spoiler) -- Also fits LED's on the 02-05 Impreza sedan wings, including STi http://www.hotsubarus.com/ProductImages/hotsubarus/3rd_brakelight_prot_big.jpg Click here hot-subaru.com We have also added the back up lights for the 05 Legacy and 05 Outback wagons (the ones in the middle of the hatch) http://www.hotsubarus.com/images/legacy%20backup.jpg The drivers side is stock, and the passengers side has the cover done in Smoke.

KevinSoD Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 The Dallas Auto Show is this week, so we hope to get more photos up next week after the show. We were going to bring a black LGT with some goodies, but it sold the day after we built it and put it in the showroom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Smoked reverse light doesn't look too bad. I bet it'll only look good on a darker colored wagon though. BTW, Kevin: did you snap any pics of that black LGT by any chance? -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Strangely, I'm thinking it'll look better on lighter colored wagons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinSoD Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Axis, didn't get to take any photos of the black LGT, it sold almost immediately. Didn't get a chance for a photo shoot. We are building another one in the shop now. It is a black LGT 5MT. P1's in Crystal Ti, Sti shift knob, STi sill plates, Pedal covers, Our smoked taillight covers, and tints. Should be done with it tomorrow. The Smoked taillights, sill plates and shift know were on a little while ago. The wheels and tires were getting together and I think the tint is scheduled for Friday AM. With any luck we can get some photos snapped before this one is snapped up!

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Hmm- what do you guys think of it on a silver car? http://premium1.uploadit.org/cultofthejedi//OUTBACKtintedlense.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Looks okay, JM. Maybe if you had dark tint, it could look better? No clue, haha. I wonder how that area would look red. Don't know how the reverse lights would work, though. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Better than clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 http://premium1.uploadit.org/cultofthejedi//OUTBACKtintedlense.jpg I dunno, the more I look at it on my car, the more it looks like it has caterpillars crawling across the hatch. Still undecided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Paint the chrome trim black or black chrome to tie it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallispec Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 jedi - i was fine with it until the caterpillar statement -- now thats all i see when looking at the picture. I'd say stick with clears i want to get tints for the turn signals on the mirrors -- anyone make those? (i think OCDetails did it on his car -- I gotta go check his old threads) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03Indigo Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 not a fan of the darker ones on the silver...since they blend in with the lighter cars, I would just leave them alone, although, with the darker cars, it is a MUST that they get tinted. The light strips are distracting on the rear. Same thing with the 3rd brake light, on the lighter cars, it blends, especially on the silver like JM and I have, but for the darker cars, the white stands out, so the film on the 3rd light is also a must. just my thoughts.

rallispec Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 How about this? honestly i'd say i like the clear better. The tint just looks too out of place, if i didnt know ahead of time that you tinted out the reverse lights i'd be thinking "WTF are those dark stripes on the back of that car" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 that was a photochop. I ordered the kit.....we'll see how it looks once I get them on there. It's $20....not a big deal if I don't like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewster Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 just stumbled onto this thread, i actually threw some tint on the backup lights right after i got my OB. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/urabus/subaru/ob2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinSoD Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 What about the rear break lights for the wagon, when's that tint coming??? They are a work in progress.

Cardozzo Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Are there any pics of what the "stealth" level tints look like over the yellow turn indicators when they aren't turned on? ie, pics of the lgt sedan and wrx on your website (at least that I saw) are only over red and clear tail lights.
