Paintwork looks good, but some new tail lights might help. Those look faded to all buggery

rear end looks the goods.
As for the tail lights, mine have had LED's in them for nearly a year, over 70LED's per light, they work well.
I have just about finished the clear lense mod and also the clear Garnish.
Im not fussed on the white lense tail lights available atm, they are to bright.
Looks good mate.
You just beat me to the EL door handle thing to, mine are sitting in teh shed going on tomorrow.
But today my new Wheels will hopefully be going on.
;)

Looks good mate, did you consider painting part of the tail light on an angle?
So it sort of looks EFis?

What sort of LED's did you use?
Pre made sets?
Are you Blinkers LED aswell?

Yeah the blinkers need a little bit of extra work.
I have my garnish and tail lights finished and will put them in tomorrow after work.
Also the EL Door handles went in today.
They where fun to fit.
Not, just need some small paint touchups and they will be sweet.

yeh i got some from the wreakers ages ago, took them off myself. the front doors are easy as. its the back doors that gets ya pi$$ed of! the child saftey lock is in the way and you cant get a socket set in there to undo the nuts! so how exactly did you manage to do it?
at the wreakers i just bent the ***** out of everything surrounding it so i could get to the nuts!
