    smoked corner lights, anyone think i should also tint the gray parts of the front like where it says celica and under the headlights? because the corners are kinda dark and i think it would look better if i tinted all the grey a bit. doing the tails soon also. well heres some pics. oh and this is without clearcoat on the corners, didnt get a chance to apply that.

    how many coats did you put on? you will probs get away with just sanding back.
    800 wet then 1000 wet, 1500 wet (not overly necessary but preffered), 2000 wet, reapply clear coat if desired and then cut and shel be all sweet

    looks very dark as said above, hope the cops are okay with it. in the UK with smoked lights we have to add a reflector for each light to appease the law.

    Re: 86 GT-S

    Holy crap that's dark! Looks great though, nice job 8)

    So can you see the brake lights during the day? I'm a bit concerned that someone isn't going to see you braking and stomp your ass end by accident :?

    Re: 86 GT-S

    u can still see the red during the daytime a little bit, and at night with the lights on u can still see it shine through good, and its definately bright enough when u push the pedal so im not too worried about that, i just wanna redo it because now a cop has something he can pull me over for if he felt like it..
    thanks for the compliments though :D

    Re: 86 GT-S

    I got bored so i painted the front lip, its a lighter red than the car but it doesnt look too bad.
    plus some random pics.
    i also bought a clay bar kit, wax, polish, and microfiber towels etc. i dont have access to a machine to do the waxing/polishing is it ok to do it by hand?
    and the pics

    Re: 86 GT-S

    looking well smart, I clayed and polished my car by hand too, freaking hurts after a while but worth it.

    What about painting or cutting out the bits in the front bumper by the towing eyes, painting it black or cutting the extra material out completly, would just look a bit meaner imo :D
