UPDATED OP WITH ALL PHOTOS.

More mods in the coming weeks to spruce up the decade old Tib! I'll start with the install of the Nightshaded Tails

The Chrome Fuel Door I originally had began disintegrating awhile back & looked awful with the new tails; So I took my old FD, sanded the mother for about an hour and a half, gave it 4 coats of Metallic Black Duplicolor & 4 coats of Clear Coat. I think it complements the new tails quite well.

Looking good. May I ask, for a photo with your taillights on at night? I am trying to figure out what I want to do with mine in the future.

Ah yeah, that's looking pretty damn good if I may say so myself. I have a black Tibby so I am not sure if would look good on mine. However I think it looks perfect on your shark.

Updated the original post with all pictures & some new

car looks hot, just don't get too spray paint finger happy and start painting random stuff.
Well After seeing RAZZ's bumper painted in his avatar I agree w/ PRTib it would look rather nice. Only other parts getting the rattle can will be the front grill (which atm is silver :3_headsha) and the headlights, which are also currently silver. Other than that i'll leave everything else alone =)

So the reverse lights work right?

Lol.

I got some LEDs in my reverse lights, but they're not 120 SMD... They're like 20 lol. How the hell does a 120 fit?!

SMD's = Surface Mounted Diode. They don't have a housing like an LED does, but they emit the same amount of light per count.

These are what i ordered for my reverse lights. I order a lower count for my side markers.

I'll review them once i get them as i can't find anyone with NS tails who has. From what i'm reading however is although they are very bright, unless projected their amount of light "throw" (distance they illuminate) isn't as good as a standard incandescent. They were cheap, so worth a shot :3_pimatyo

I believe Diode Dynamics sells a SMD type light, when searching I saw a post on gencoupe and paul had some pictures that looked similar. Probably much better quality that what i bought (just some cheap ebay ones), but thought i would test them out
