gilber33 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 I think if you take your time with VHT it can look good. Multiple grits of sanding, wet sanding, clear coating, etc. But then again, the only parts I did was the turn signals and the reverse lights, I think blacking out your actual tail lights is completely stupid and I would never do that.

VolvoForLife850 Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Alright, decided to not tint them! I've gotten to many compliments with the way they are now lol. In Ohio, the law is when the brake lights are lit up, they must be visible from 500 ft. With my old tails tinted, they were very dark and still visible from 500 ft away. Anyways...I'm most likely selling my 850 to a friend next week and picking up a nice 3000GT :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VolvoForLife850 Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Does that mean you are now "MistubishiForLife3000" It's not a guarantee yet...still have to wait a few days to see if my friend will be able to buy it! And I will always be "VolvoForLife" ...seriosuly, I love my 850 to death! it will be very hard to let her go if I do sell it In a year or two, after I complete a few more co-ops for my major, and have a decent job, I will buy myself a nice S60R! But I don't see whats wrong with going to a 3000GT? I found a steal on craigslist. Some older couple is selling it because they are unable to get in it anymore and they dont want it just sitting around. Its practically in mint condition, all maintenance has been done at the right times etc. I talked them down to $2800. For me tha'ts great...I now have a car that has working A/C, no engine/trans. problems, and most importantly to me, a 5 speed! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Che'_Moderator Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 I had a VR4 and hated it. They are pig heavy and built in santas factory by elfs. Talon/Eclipse was such a better car. 3000GT is the reason Godzilla will not go to Japan anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to have a Talon...dads friend has a heavily modified talon and loves it!...I just can't find one around here worth buying... And why are you complaining about its weight?! haha, no heavier than volvos! if i could afford a VR4 right now, I would be all over it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plan_B Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 yeah, i like that...and i know what you mean about black looking cheap, but the redness doesnt match anything on my 850 since everything else is black maybe smoke them to keep it a little red, and then add a red lip around my black wheels? I don't know what to do! That's really gay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolvoForLife850 Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 That's really gay. Thats why i didnt do it...every car show or cruise in i go to, thats what everyone says i need to do...but i really dont know what that would look like. someone here has a sig with their wheels with a red lip IIRC...doesn't look too bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prezman26 Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 That's 3 light coats of the VHT stuff. Gives it a nice look. None on the reverse lights as that is a very dumb move, I like people to know that I am backing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
