99xtremedime Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 I had a tail light laying around off of my buddies S10 after he totaled it and decided to throw it on to see if I liked it or not.... I'm kinda on the fence here. I like 'em both, and neither more than the other, so I figured why not let SMD forum decide for me! lol. Now when I do mine they will NOT be this dark and I'm going to mask off the clear, square area for the reverse light before I paint them so I can see to back up. -2 AQ HDC3 15's-'Nendo 3KWP @ .5-7.75cuft @ 30hz-Alpine CDA-117-4 Cadence PA 8's -AQ 200.2-2 AQ Supertweeters-XS Power D3400-270a Mecman Alt -Knu Konceptz Wire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caldwell8792 Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Tinted deff. but... RE-Do Them! I've done mine and my dads and I love them because of how I did it. Before using the nightshade on them tape off the clear on the tail light. So that everything is black except the reverse lights. Your whole lens is red except for the one clear square...well leave it clear and you will like it alot more. Just a suggestion, take it or leave it. - Pioneer DEH-6000 Headunit - (2) 6.5" Infinity KAPPA 63.9I Speakers - (2) 6x9 Infinity KAPPA 693.9I Speakers - (2) 12" JL Audio 12W0-V2 Subwoofers - Boston Acoustic GT-22 ( Running to subs ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the suggestion but I stated in the OP that is how im doing it..... And I HATE nightshade with a passion. Im gonna do it with black paint thinned out with some clear. -2 AQ HDC3 15's-'Nendo 3KWP @ .5-7.75cuft @ 30hz-Alpine CDA-117-4 Cadence PA 8's -AQ 200.2-2 AQ Supertweeters-XS Power D3400-270a Mecman Alt -Knu Konceptz Wire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baaudio Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 i say not tinted. they match the red of the truck so well. maybe if it was a black truck then ya. but red on red looks better then the black imo Team NWSPL baaudio Build Log 2001 GMC Sierra walkthrough 4 Mechman Elite 370s, 10 AGM batteries, 3 Crossfire XS v2 18s, Crossfire 8k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah im painting the handle, and im getting the all metal door handles from a 96 and color matching those as well. red looks really good because your truck is red and it looks clean. black also looks good but idk man. either way you have a nice clean truck bro. props Steve I don't know why but everytime I see your new paint I want a Dr. Pepper...... is this normal? heres an analogy for you. running a high power stereo without a fuse is like having unprotected sex with that hot chick at the bar with the sketchy sexual history. Sure you may be fine and nothing happens but that one time something does happen you're fucked. i dont want woofer broke like bass sound clip clip and voice coil overheat 2 sa12s, saz1500 build log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/91183-chapo123s-sundown-build-log/page__gopid__1250604entry1250604 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
