Tinted Horizontals

Rice_slayer · Jul 10, 2009

Well, I was the one to buy up ARdoller's tinted horizontals, and boy Im glad I did! They defiantly change my car's rear end appearance, but sadly I can't complete it until I get the new engine in, I want the engine ASAP. Anyways here's the pics:

Masking these suckers took about an hour and a half, that SUCKED!

Here's the old look...

After being painted, turned out pretty good!

On the car...

Now, I need a few things before it's complete, and I can only get 1(engine...) I will be getting black bumper inserts, 5% window tint on back 2 windows and 1/2" spacers to push the tires out a bit. I think it will look deadly when all is done

First thought when I saw the back... Bumblebee.

I dont like the all black look to be honest, but itll look nice iwth the inserts

Not feeling it. Should of done one or the other.

I wonder how it would look if your bezels still matched your car? Just a thought, but they do look very nice now.

I think it looks great. I have a buddy with a yellow 94 with matching bezels and tinted lenses and to me this just looks better.

I think it would look a lot better if the bezels were yellow. We had/have a red stang with just the lenses tinted and it looks amazing.

^ I dont have yellow paint for them, or else I would try that, it's not hard to do, masking is the hard part lol. I am getting the car re-painted next year(still yellow), I'll see if I want the bezels yellow, I have seen pics of where it's stock lense and black bezels, I like this looks more. I haven't seen yellow bezel/tinted lenses though. I got the idea from a guy with a canary yellow vert with verticals that were completely blacked like mine and I loved it.

Looks great to me!!

Thanks! Here are some night pics, first with flash, second without but some douche down the street had his brights on, I waited like 5 mins but he still had them on...

Honestly, I don't think there is much of an issue with lighting, they are a little darker than stock, and both my brake/signal lights are easily visible in the day. I just wish I had my bumper inserts now lol.

I think it looks mean. Reminds me of the saleen rears.

Rice_slayer · Jul 11, 2009

That's the look I was going for

. Im thinking of getting an S281 spoiler next year when I get it painted, Anyone think I should go for it or leave the stocker on there?

Looks good man I like it.

OnyxCobra · Jul 11, 2009

Yeah it doesn't look bad but with yellow bezels the tinted lenses would really pop. And you really can't go wrong with an S281 spoiler.

IMO - why didnt you just tint the tails you had?

And if you really want those inserts, why not just paint them in yourself? Much cheaper

Rice_slayer · Jul 11, 2009

Im really bad at tinting things, I can paint but not tint, no thanks! As for the bumper letters, I would prefer to just buy the inserts, I dont want to spray paint them, that looks weird, besides, I am repainting the car next year

That would take forever to mask off...plus, the vinyl inserts are like 5 bucks...doesn't get much cheaper than that haha

Personally...I don't like black bezels with tinted tails...too much black, but if you like it thats cool.
