that sucks bro. i wish i had a red top lol
hey at least ur car RUNS lol..im about to charge and throw a stocker in mine just to prime/start it......and yea it does suck it only had 6 volts but im not sure how long they threw it on the charger for....had my bosses mechanics do it for me real quik so i wasnt there....that redtops been sitting for 2 years so i dunno if another few hours on the charger will bring it back over 12 v and actualy hold there...if not new battery time.

and along wih them headlights threw some fresh tails up on there...been without tails+heads for a while and now its all down to the bumpers

I have a paperweight too.

Your work is great. The energy will come back to you, it always does. I wish you the utmost success in completing your car!
Your car,

Is absolutely amazing.

+Respect.
one of my favorites on the site man. btw, i love your HU!

much appreciated guys...everybody else too.


Ant, how did you do the headlights? I have been thinking about doing this. Did you do it with VHT nightshade or did you use a smoky clear?

Same way i do my tailights...VHT and several coats of automotive clearcoat and polished to a mirror gloss. Ive done my set and another 03 set so far. Still messing around with it but seems to come out pretty damn nice and light looks like it will shine thru more than enough.

dude car looks sick def one of my fav tibs out there. Let me know if you ever wanna try Night shading some 07 head lights, I plan on eventually having my heads and tails done by you since you do the best job I have seen.

Ant,

Mine have started getting that "hazed" wind blister look to them. How many coats of night shade did you use, wet sand after? then clear?

What order I guess im asking. I am really considering this after seeing how well yours came out. I have two extra cans of night shade laying around waiting for this as I bought them when I heard the prices were about to jump from the company burning.

Could you do a quick write up of the process for me? I have night shaded several things but they never looked as good as yours and thats probably bc I never cleared them.

2 coats VHT, wetsand, clear, wetsand then buff the piss out of them?

Something like this would be helpfull.

Thanks again bro!

Im just nervous to shade my headlights..I dont want to not be able to see my damn HIDs!!

how about sending me a free set of HIDS and ill let you know if they shine thru or not...lol....and look at how the corner bulb already shines thru pretty good....the headlights will shine thru more than enuff....and HIDS would as well....ill try and get some headlight on pics once i get a fresh battery into this thing.....just too much going on right now for me to finish it.
