08-09 Tail Light Tinted Overlays with Reverse Cutouts

Recommended Posts

Hey Guys, I am working on some overlays similar to the 05-07 model that I am selling. These will be for the 2008-2009 model year. I am looking for your input on any ideas in particular that you would like realized.

Here are a few quick ideas I threw together.

 

I am for sure going to offer the reverse cutout, and will probably offer a few other variants.

 

Option 1 (No Cutouts)

Option 2 (Full reverse cutout)

Option 3 (Partial reverse cutout inside)

Option 4 (Partial reverse cutout outside)

Deleted

 

Option 5 (Stacked Circle cutouts, full reverse cutout)

When will these be up for sale? Are you gonna have tint for the side mirror signals as well? And the third break light? And also what about the headlight signals? I'd like to tint all that if possible so lemme know if you plan on doing all that as I'll probably buy it all.

Tail Lights will be done in a few days, by Friday for sure.

 

Headlights I doubt I will get done any time soon, don't have an 08 I can work off of. I can sell you raw material for them if you want to make your own. I have lots of scraps.

 

Side mirrors are a different animal. They are tough to put on pre-cut, so I can supply a strip of material that will cover enough and you would have to trim to fit.

 

Spoiler brake light will be the same as the 05-07, correct?

Ok I will definitely buy a set. I saw some on an 05-07 the other day and they are awesome.

 

I definitely want the reverse cut-out. Trust me guys, the tinted red next to the bright clear reverse light looks sweet.... I just saw a car this way. A full tint just looks too typical... a lot of people do this and some manufacturers provide this option from the factory. Tinting just the red portion is very unique and looks nice. Plus I think the clear "bling" of the taillight matches the chrome along the bottom of the taillight, and the chrome everywhere else. Its more of a "clean" look IMO.

 

I will have to think about the partial reverse cutout- but for right now my vote is for the full reverse cut-out. I want to see an 08-09 with the many holes in the red area too.

I'm either going to go with the full reverse cut-out, or full tint with holes. Just have to see it :)

I think the partial cutouts look a little unbalanced.

I have to agree that the partial reverse cutouts look odd.

 

Here is one more I've tried.

 

Option 5 (Stacked circle cutouts, with full reverse cutout)

Just out of curiosity, can you cover the chrome strip under the tail with the tint?

 

Do you have any pics of these different options on the car? especially the fully tinted and reverse cut out? (options 1 and 2)

Pardon the VERY rough 'chop, but this is kind of what I was thinking about...

When you take the lights off, it looks like the chrome strip is held on with a few screws. I plan on taking mine off and hitting it with a few coats of black.

 

And I won't imagine he'll have any installed pics until I get my light back from him :D

I will take the last set you have pictured in gunsmoke, or whatever the lighter of the two is called.

I can post pictures of before, during, and after for you.

 

Thanks! I would appreciate it if you could post a few pictures of your sweet ride.

 

Give me a day to get the For Sale post and my manufacturing details in order, then you can order a set!

 

I will probably offer 3 or 4 different variations. :eek:
