    Smoked tails

    Single shot of the smoked tails. Also debadged and thinking about painting the badging black. May leave it off even, I think it looks clean.



    Got all the grommets, clips and paint for shadowline, just dreading the job of pulling all the trim.

    Anybody removed the trim from the bottom behind the door? That is the piece that has me scared. The rest was straightforward.

    Thinking about doing the same (taking off the badge).

    BTW I think your car will look cleaner with the U.S. Plate filler.

      Not digging it. It'd look better without the plate filler.

        Agreed. I like seeing the body color to the left and right of the LP. Especially on an red or other bright colored car.

          i like it... i think you need to ditch the license plate frame - otherwise its solid. I think i would have gone all-red tails, but everything looks very clean.

            Looks nice.

            If you ditch the license plate filler I will buy it off you. PM me right away :)


            Also if you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for those taillights?

              I kept it, so I may swap out from time to time. I may go ahead and do the factory tails all red and swap that look from time to time as well.

              I haven't looked at it w/out the fillers, so I can't say how it'd look, but that is an easy fix.

              The tails I ebay'd for $240 shipped, and they were brand new. Just got lucky. ;)

                I think it looks hot, don't change anything

                A 325iS badge in black would look good on there though

                  That is one clean looking E30, it will look even better after shadow line trim.
