4 sets of Beautiful Candy Red Early Model Tails!

[e30polak]

Here is how one of the first sets of Alex's tails have held up. These are about 3 years old, and they receive a lot of abuse from the sun!

nice looking product.

looks like it, but this done with candy BC/CC over the entire lights (not canned)? pics look like the only thing missing is a little buffing and they're money.

This is not done with crappy autozone/pepboys materials, we use professional grade paint and clear. We like the ALL red look, but it's not for everyone.

And yes, the lights will be wet sanded and buffed this week.

btw, lots of overspray on the gaskets, and backing peices. just fyi...might not add to your hopes in highest quality. for 200$ honestly id take my 20$ and have alittle patience and do them just how i wanted.

There is NO comparison between your lights and the ones we have for sale. Your lights hardly look transparent, and you can tell that you used poor quality materials. This is what a $20 spray can job looks like everybody. I'd love to see how they last in the Cali son after a few months. :roll:

what the hell does that even mean? its a 24hour CAR ENTHUSIASTS forum! your post is irrelivant. but...
... to further entertain you, why should anyone NOT take their own tail lights... spend 20$ and a sunday afternoon doing this same thing, CLEANER mind you, and feel much more satisfied in their own work/style/savings? sounds practical to me. 200$ for an unprofessional job sounds impractical to me. they DO look great i never said they were ugly, but this is not a fair price to me. being an ENTHUSIASTS FORUM, something like this shares no helpful value, and i dont appreciate people trying to profit extremely, from things of this nature.

what he means is keep your opinion to yourself. By doing that, the next time or, judging by your post count, first time you post something up for sale, someone doesnt bash your parts like you are doing to my good friend here. I have seen multiple sets that have come from this guy and they are all beautiful. Sets like these are for people who either dont have the skills to do it themselves or just simply would rather not do it themselves. Its as simple as that. So keep the negativity out of the thread. No need for bashing things you've never seen in person. BTW, your DIY tails look lke ass compared to these. No shine at all. And as e30polak stated before, the lights havent been wet sanded. So they will get even MORE glossy.


free bump Chris

Thanks for your back-up Taylor. :D

Not an unfair price at all! a set of tail lights at the cheapest from a yard around here is 40 bucks, and one can of quality paint is 80 not including the clear. Then taking into account the labor, they are priced accordingly. They look good too! If i needed tails I'd be down for a set!

This.

Yea there are tons of people willing to pay, then DIY them...

Not everyone ( lots of dads here etc) has time to paint lights when other matters are more pressing.

GLWS sale man, free bump for the haters

Personally I wouldn't pay 200.00 but that doesn't mean the work involved and time isn't worth it. Consider how much prep it takes and the hours to do it. A fair profit is acceptable. For someone practical as yourself only wanting to spend 20.00 is fine because you can do the work. But there are people who "don't" have the time and time is money!
They would much rather be spending their time doing something else more profitable or enjoyable in their lives then working on their bmw's all the time. So I think the price is warranted. I spent easily a good few hours crinkle painting and polishing my rocker cover. I would sell it for a profit considering my time and products and skill involved.

This.

Those are gorgeous. Can't wait to see the MHW smoked style!

[castros]

Tail lights are nice and if you guys could do this yourself good for you, were selling a product for people who are interested in buying a nice set of tail's not interested in how to mimic or copy the same style.

1 set pending sale, PMs replied!

[e30polak]

They haven't been wet sanded, buffed, or baked yet. I will update the picd this weekend with an SLR, so you can appreciate the quality of the product. I'm not bothered with the hate. Some people can appreciate good work, but if you have the ability to do it as good or better yourself, then by all means make them.

However, some can't be bothered with their time, or don't have that ability. As always, I'm trying to do something for the community. This is a fair price on a great product.

(I think they look pretty good on Chris' M3)
