    And people wonder why we don't have enough after market stuff for our chasis's. I can pretty much assure they are breaking even at best,consider a good set of tails, paint, time(unless you calculate your time at minimum wage...) 200 is cheap.

    Make more send to me on consignment and I'll sell out in a week.

    I'm a car enthusiast.
    Job looks professional.
    Seen it in person.
    Better than my DIY all-reds.
    He showed me how to do it.
    Price is fair.
    I also profit off r3v when I can.
    Your post is invalid.

    im not trying to trash his thread, anyone looking for an extra set of lights, could easily cough over the 200. its a steep jump from 20$ and some effort i would say though.. maybe im just being an unhelpful asshole.

    1 can transparent candy apple red testors should do the trick for both lights, maybe 3 coats each -5$ give or take
    adhesive promotor can be found at any autozone/advanced for another 5$
    as well, use some good quality clearcoat, meant for high build. i used alloy rim coating from duplicolor, to prevent any ability of chipping, and cracking from the sun. few coats of that generously and painted patiently, should make a good quality - lasting finish.
