Tail light covers
Hey guys I'm currently working on a design for tail light covers for the MX-3, I should be able to do them monday or so and hopefully have pics up by the end of the month or so.... they are going to be made out of Vinal, so it'll look amost flush compaired to plastic covers... let me know if any of you are intrested in a pair.

I would love a pair if they look tight. I had to take my taillights off because the moisture that got in wouldnt come out and it took off the chrome paint behind and around the light bulb. So yeah...post some pics and I might want a pair...can you make them in black? how easliy would they come off? (just in case I want to change the color in the future.

here is a rough design (10 min in paint) , give an idea... the oval around the reverse light will have round edges, also both breaklight openings will be the same size. sorry about the lack in quality.. I'm not at the shop so I can't make good sizes... and such... it's Paint (yes it sux) but it was the best I could do with Paint... oh yes to answer the question yes vinal can be removed with out any real way to tell it was there.... and changing colors isn't hard at all... it just takes certain chemicals to take the vinal off... shouldn't be too hard to find

Re: Tail light covers
how much will a pair of these cost...cause those look tight. Are you going to use a machine to cut them so they are identical in all measurements...or are you just going to eyeball them?

Re: Tail light covers
2 things... one is I've been slamed at work so I've havn't had time to do it, also cause my car is at the shop I have nothing to use to make mesurements... so ya... if you want to get tail lights go ahead... frankly because I don't see me having the time to do it. mainly because it's somthing on the side, and with things picking up at work and with school taking alot of my time I really don't have the time to do them at the moment. if you could or would like to you can E-mail my place of work and order them. I can make a rectangle shape of Vynail and with the necessary holes for the lights to show through.. but best way is to just E-mail my place of busniess... it'll be done alot quicker that way. minceysg@msn.com another thing, I will need the mesurements for the tail light.. I do recall that the tail light, and signel light openings are 4" and the back up light is like 1" wide.. if you could send a rough sketch with the measurements so I would be able to make it better... it would be apprechiated.
