New Pics, (teg tails and polished rim)

[1PhatCX]

i'm bored so i thought i'd post pics of the progress for the teg tails, as far as i know, i'm the only one to do this conversion and actually attempt to finish it, last person i saw do it, didnt finish it. and i havent seen any pics yet of it done





teg rim polished (only did one as a trial, didnt turn out bad at all, only took me 20 mins too)




Stock rim un-polished

thanx man, even tho its FAR from finished lol, still needs to be smoothed out alot

looking good derek. didnt ami have teg tails on one of her cars?

I like the Vdub in the background, does that have a 16v in it? Looks kinda old cause it has the small bumpers, would look much better with big bumpers off the 90-92.

Clean your car, it looks gross.

ami had clear tails painted half red. looks like a pretty good job derek.

What's up with the color on the car though? Is it going black? On your sig you can see 3 different colors: white, blue and black.

thanx,
right now the cars staying flat black (because of all the body work) and because someone else in towns been copying my style. after i did my hood, like 6 months down the road, he did it, after mine was half blue, again, 6 months down the road, he went blue, so u know what? fuck him, i'm gonna make mine as original as i can, i'd like to see him copy the tail lights because it took forever to decide how to make them with the slope

the 2 tone looks kinda good, but if you can polishem up more they'd look better. can't you get euro lites now?

the 2 tone rim is the un-polished one, thats a before, the other pics are polished, and thats in the rain lol

i was thinking of getting the euro lights because they have angle eyes in em and look nice, but i dont have 400 dollars lol
so i'll keep the stock ones for now

they are only 14's, i've tried sanding to polish things before (like valve cover) and it takes FOREVER! use blue grinding cookies which work absolute wonders and takes like an 1/8th of the time

thanx man, theres actually a SHIT load of work involved, i have other progress pics that show the pockets we had to make for them, then you have to modify the hatch itself. this swap would be alot harder on a CRX tho. since you have to extend the hatch out but i'm happy with how they look, i love the nice long section for the blinker
