one set belongs to 89 rag, made his red black and slightly shaded the lenses as per his request so the cops dont bother him

why are they different? cuz one is for a vert? they look sexy though..

one set is for vert, both sets are shaded

reflectors are no more on the vert lights as well

rags looked like this before:

Those are gonna look so sharp, I cannot explain how thrilled I am!



Teknics and I need a pic of the cars side by side, that was a great idea he had.



edit: and yeah, keeping the cops offa my ass is very important, My insurance rates are unbelieveable!

I like the no reflectors idea.. they look sexy.. my lights are also bulged out a bit by where the bulb goes.. just barely.. but it would be nice to make em flat again..

Rag with those new lights, your car is simply going to be perfect!

89Rag should call them 99 spec tailights https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

yeah 89 those are going to be a lot better than the others. your car will be perfect, it only took a garage door's intervention and a year or two of those red tails after you were finished with the build to get it there!

yea somehow me and rag gotta get our cars together for a photo shoot when im finished, altho were on complete opposite sides of the US lol.



But yea those tails will make his car a 100% better, i wasnt a fan of the red ones.



And i cant wait to see my tinted ones on my yellow car, woo.



oh BTW if ya havent heard, Rob is da man.



kevin.

lol, 99 specs on the FC!



Thanks for the compliments as well, i'm very pleased with the way things are coming together on the everlasting 89 rag project.



It will be getting all sorts of attention over the next month being prepped for Sevenstock



I will certainly post pics of the tail lights installed once I get my hands on them, as well as some of the other goodies.



And yeah, Rob is da man!

89rag should try to take the same pic of the back of the car as a few posts up

i am soooo gonna jizz on your hood at sevenstock..!!

Fedex dropped them off today, after a little more wet sanding and some polish work I will take them over to the tuner on Monday to install them on the car.



It will be great to have the newly remodeled tail lights and a correctly running car, tuned to the nut, to blast toward home down the freeway Monday afternoon!

I left the sanding and polishing up to you, I tend to leave the peel on smaller parts sprayed in Imron because they will stay looking like the day they were sprayed forever if you dont wet sand them



the fact that it was 95 degrees/100 humidity in the booth that day didnt help things either, got sime minor solvent entrapment but that will sand out no problem

I did sand the center section a bit for you though

It's all good, it's almost impossible to polish them off the car, unless you had a jig mounted to a workbench so as to bolt them down.



The surround needs almost no attention, the tails just need to be knocked down a little to suit my taste.



Overnight package delivery rocks, I really didn't expect that either



Home run all around Rob, great job!



pm the payment details if you would please.

im promising faster turnaround time after September



I have someone hold the lights for me when I buff them but I still get nervous I will launch one across the room like I did my ashtray when I polished that https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif



I didnt want to get compound in the grooves either, your ******* wax killed me in there and I wasnt taking any chances!





Just keep the lights glazed, dont wax the fuckers



I hope your not nuts enough to try to polish around where the license plate goes?

lol, yeah i'm not taking any chances launching a tail light assy. across the garage, i'll have 'em in and out of the car a few times to get the compund out off all the grooves and whatnot.



The surround is pretty easy, install the plate, then i'm using gloss black lexan with flame polished edges and mitered corners to finish off the edges and maintain that gloss black, smooth as glass look.



of course pics will follow as soon as I get my car back to my garage.

I was also meant to add for you FC guys:



If you want this mod pony up with the cash and make it happen!



The service and quality are there so quit making excuses!



Too many FC guys are flakes when it comes to things like this, it makes people that produce good products turn down the work 'cause they get left holding the bag, so to speak.

I actually do this for way more cars then RX7's, most recently was a pair for a SRT-10 pick up, one set for a vette and one for a Ford super duty

BTW 89Rag- after Seven stock send me your side markers

I love the new look, or altered stock look of the 99 spec fc tails! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif



Yeah Rob I will do that for sure, markers will arrive a few weeks after Sevenstock

Thank You!

I can go darker on the markers but the tails...Well I'll put it like this, every cop in the town knows my first name, where I live, and what a miserable fucker I am to pull over, the last thing I need is to give them another reason. Now that the car is running like a top and the tuning is about to be done this afternoon, i'll be hard presssed to keep my foot out of the throttle!

yea ive read stories of your run-ins with mr po-po thats why i understood why you went the way you did.



but seriously the markers being tinted looks *awesome* in person. plus since rob says im the only one with that treatment, at least from him, youd get to be more like me, which is ALWAYS a plus https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif



kevin.
