night shade

[jake91]

thinking about nightshading the tails, and i have 2 ideas of doing it

 

idea 1

full nightshade

 

 

idea 2

nightshade with painted lip (stole the idea from matts97cutty89)

[RobertISaar]

even though it will be tough as shit to get it to look right, i like the second...

[oldscsc]

I have also thought about NiteShading my tails. I like the idea of the second, but if I do mine I'm personally doing the first one.

 

[jake91]

if i did this do you think i should do the 3rd brake light also

[Psych0matt]

complete tails, third brake light. I also did my side markers (both front and rear)

 

[jake91]

question does night shade cause you to lose the reflectivity of the lights and side markers?

[Psych0matt]

i never had any problems, and i'd even got pulled over a few times when i had them done, and nothing was ever mentioned

[jake91]

okay i was just checking so i wasnt asking for trouble from cops

[GP4U2NV]

I actaully like both, but your pictures are way to dark on the tails which makes me think that number 2 would be cool if they where lighter and the blues matched.

 

remember to auto clear over the night shades when you are done. (if you want it to stay)

[jake91]

i did that on ms paint. that is why they are dark, and the blue doesnt match

[Cully77]

neither. your car looks awesome already.

do the entire tails

get them done like i did on my truck, find a painter and have him mix the black paint and clear coat at a ratio of 35:1 and spray them, then he;ll buff them and they'll be as sturdy as your paint. WORTH IT, cost me $70 for the tails and third brake light.

Thats what I will be doing. I saw some done with candy black mixed in and it looked great. I wouldn't even consider using niteshades.

[jake91]

if i do that it will be a while before i do them, but it will probably be a while anyway as i would like to find a spare set of tails to see if i actually like it, or incase i screw it up

[rich_e777]

I kind of had the same idea but im leaving the oldsmobile symbol and blacking everything else.

[jake91]

im going to do that also if i do this

[Matts97cutty89]

i like option 2! Im bias tho haha....i have been thinking of blacking out the rest of my tails but im to scared to try it cuz if i dont like it it would really suck! Its so hard to find lip tails i wish i had another set to try it out on!

[swift13]

i think on the white one the shades look awesome but on the blue im not so sure, granted they are photo shopped but....i think your car looks classic and very clean with its original look jake

 

i 2 also wish i had an extra set of tails, i seen them sell on ebay for over 200$ and every time im at the yard somebody already has taken the good ones or they have busted them up.

[jake91]

i found a guy on my local forum that is going to do it for me for the cost of materials WOOT!!!!

[swift13]

sounds good cant wait to see.

[jake91]

it will probably be a while though i still have to get thing set up with him
