Default A little teaser

I was repainting my trunk today due to the chipping clearcoat and decided to go for a slightly new look. Kind of took a page out of CamberSC's book, and tinted the 95 tails using factory paint. I think they'll look better after buffing, but here's a pic from earlier. I just went for a fairly light tint.

BTW, I have a pre97 aftermarket spoiler (no brake light) in exchange for a lunch date or something if someone in the bay area wants it. It needs some bondo and paint.

Looks good! Would you be interested in selling the spoiler?

If I can't get rid of it around here I'll let you know, but I'm not looking to ship it quite yet.

LS brakes once my pads come in, black interior this summer, and a few other surprises.

Here are some pics from today after wetsanding and buffing the trunk. It came out pretty nice, but still needs a little buffing.






Haven't decided about badges yet. It looks kind of like a drug dealer's car with it being all black in the back.

Good job, they look nice. They looked just like mine when they were tinted. Watch out for douchebag cops though. I had a hard time getting my smoked taillight ticket reduced to a fix it ticket.

That looks great bro. I'm glad to see it all coming together nicely. Why not see if you can grab some lexus center caps for your wheels instead of those Nissans?

If I can't get rid of it locally I'll put it up in the classifieds.

I have some toyota center caps, but they don't "snap" in like the nissan ones. I'm gonna have to glue them in or something, but I'm not even sure if I'm keeping these wheels for much longer, so we'll see.
