If/when you repaint the wing, you should repaint the center bottom section on your rear bumper the same color. I know they're close but I always like it when they match perfectly. Help ties everything together.

And honestly, with your color, I think painting both gloss black would look tits.

Yeah i'm gonna respray the valence also, i think a semi-gloss is gonna be just what I'm looking for... I've gotten a lot of compliments on the flat black that I have on there, people say they like the texture of it, even though it's really only textured cause I rattled canned it lol

yea i've wanted to paint my wing flat black since i got my car i just haven't really focused on the exterior. I love the way it looks on your car it makes me wish i would have done it a long time ago. When I do get around to it I'm going to paint my ultralites black also. My tires are also 245/40 up front on a 9" wheel. It's a bit stretched but I like the way it looks with my car as low as it is. I think 255's would look better on your fronts though.

 

[98v6er]

I say paint it black, I really like the way it looks especially with the chin spoiler... It's something you don't see to often on a sn95. Eventually I'm just gonna get a set of 17x 10.5 rims with 315s for the rear and i'll just go with a 255 or 275 for the fronts

BAB is an awesome color, like it almost as much as canary yellow :tongue3:

The extra brake lights are one of those mods that you finish and think... 'why didn't the car come like this from the factory'. I did the same thing to my 98, only wish there was a way to do the same in the 94-95 horizontals, instead we get a dang reflector "dummy" light.

Hahaha

Thats exactly what I was thinking after I did this, I guess its all about saving the extra 2 cents or whatever on the 3 wire. I was wondering what the 3rd horizontals were, never knew it was a dummy light.

Man I think this one of the nicest sixxer's I have seen. Tastefully done.

Thanks dude... I try and keep it pretty simple, I don't like cars that are done over the top.

yep, not even a housing at the bottom, it looks like a a third light but is actually just a reflector. Except for the euro tails of course, since they had a seperate turn signal instead of the dummy/reflector.

I've seen where someone added a bulb down there and it looked not so nice if I remember correctly.

Well that sucks, there is probably a way to get a third light there.

I'd be curious to see what it looks like, i've never seen that before

Thank Man... I'm still learning my way around this camera too, everytime I take pics I find out something new lol

For it to look decent you would have to completely remove the reflector and fabricate a housing for the bulb. Otherwise you're just going to see one bright spot right where the bulb is located. It would be stuck through a reflector and right behind the lens. I'm sure it would be possible, I mean, plenty of people have had success fabricating a housing for HID headlights. It would be a similar concept to the work needed for the tails.
