    I've seen people blacking out their tail lights and blinkers... but what about whiting them out?

    I think it would look kinda cool... any suggestions?

    How?

    Maybe mould new transparent plastic....it's been done and there's a how-to somewhere around here on the old site....

    i dont think ive ever seen a product to "white" out lights. you might have to go with clears, unless you want custom vinal work done to mask the lights, it would not be totaly whited out. what i mean is like the decals they put of busses that cover the windows but still alow people to see out. in the day they are mostly opaque but some night time you can see through them. an issue with the type of thing i just suggested is that not enough light may be visable to those behind you during daylight hours

    i dont thank there is a white out type paint, and i just spent a 1/2 hours googling it.

    only thing i think that you could do to get rid of that red would be clears

    the DIY thing rye posted seams to be the only thing i have seen or found.

    I think the closest you could get would be a white decal that's designed kinda like a mesh.

    Well I was wondering what kind of paint base the stuff he used was... because it may be possible to mix a blend of white to be semi transparent... I'm gonna get a spare tail light off of something to test it first... dont want pink LOL

    Mafix feel free to chime in...

    Would mixing Clear coat and white paint give me a translucent effect?

    Nah, Well considering I own one of the few 4th gens and ONLY Alltrac in VA (as far as I have found) I've gotta watch out, some of these rice kids in my area said that the whole idea was stupid and I made fun of his green spray painted steelies (even had spraypaint on the tires... LOL)

    any way He said If I did that to my car he was gonna smash my taillights out next time he saw me... Now normally I couldn't give a shit since I keep my asp on my all the time and I can easily kick his ass... but since He is grouped up with about 20 other retards who own 94-99 integras... I'm gonna say no...

    That and the legality of it in VA, BUT, doesnt mean I wont colorize them!

    I'm thinking BLOOD RED :D
