man,
me and you would get along great lol
flames and skulls
ok, here goes: i traced a stencil off a decal i got in the rear window, got a skull in the center w/ flames out each side got it at autozone. i then used a copy machine to enlarge it to the correct size. trace THAT onto a stiffer peice of poster board and CAREFULLY cut the flame out, remove taillights and sand and wash them (sanded the DOT numbers off too) then mask the desired area, lay the poster board cutout on it and tape it down as best as you can, i ended up cutting some little slivers of tape to get the ends right. then trace that to the tape. use a x-acto to cut out the flames, trying to cut ONLY through the tape. remove the out side tape. remeber you wanna leave tape on the flames only remove the outside area.
then PAINT THE FU*K OUTTA EM!!!!!!!
it took 6 GOOD coats of flat black to keep the light from showing through, i just used rattle can, then after its good and dry remove the tape and i put 2 coats of clear over it, again rattle can.
heres a close up pic
i was smart enought to look the laws up first, and all it says is they gotta be visible at 500 foot, they are, if i ever get pulled over im makeing the cop get a tape measure
also you cant cover the reflector so i didnt
i also put BOWTIES on the backup lights, side markers, and 3rd brake light.
it took me probley 15 hours total to do everything
as soon as i find some clear headlight covers im gonna make a matching set for the front
whew sorry for the long post guys
damn my fingers are tired now
