kelleyperformance Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 as some of you know, i was t-boned by a huge garbage truck a few months back so the truck was down for a few weeks. i added some new little tricks to it while it was apart, and have some big plans for it in the near future. my hope is that i can finish it in time for SEMA, assuming i can lock in my two places there... anyway i just thought id post some pics of it, it has to have been at least 1 year since i have really been active on here, let alone posted some photos the other day i painted an SS emblem gloss black to see how it would look... since everything on my car is one of the 3 colors, except the calipers, i figured it would "tie" in better. so what do you guys think? leave it aluminum or do them black...? heres my back up camera. it used to be attatched to the roll pan, but it always bothered me... so i made a beveled hole in the roll pan and installed in from behind. i also changed the license plate lights. i embedded two l.e.d modules at a 45 deg angle through the pan. in person it looks really nice IMO down in south florida the troopers have started giving issues for painted tail lights. so i looked up the laws, and found out there is nothing against painting the lights themselves. as long as you keep the light output high enough, the only other thing required is having 2 red reflectors on the rear of the vehicle. so i masked off the reflector on the bottom of the light, and cleared over it with a little black candy mixed into the clear. from the rear or side a few feet away, you cant even see the reflectors. but if you look up close, you can see them. and yes sir they work great. problem fixed! takes a while to paint these but worth it IMO! on a side note, for those of you who dont know- this is what i do for a living. if you need ANYTHING done or have any questions feel free to shoot me a PM or an email Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
