Nice light covers, I want 'em. But I don't think it would look good on my silver camry.

Actually I've seen cover in use, the lights go through very well. Espiecally this one, it doesn't cover most of the Brake Light, Turn Signal and Reverse Light. which is why I like. I really want my camry to have a white/black color scheme like the one in my pic, but I don't know how to paint, where to repaint. Mines is silver.

They are pretty crap from what I've seen. You need a specialized room with an air filter so no dirt/hairs/stuff ruin the paint job. Then you blast your car with sand until the paint is gone, then you put on a base coat, and put a few coats on it, then primer, then you let it dry for a few months, charge the car owner about 8k for very little work, and go home enjoying the fact that your con worked. :u

Lol it's a lot more complicated than that. When you're paying for an 8k paint job, you're paying for at least $1500 in materials, but probably closer to 2k. And prep work isn't as simple as blasting things with sand. It's a lot of tedious details to make sure that the surface is flawless so what you're spraying actually sticks to it lol.

That's why you sand it in a special area that has clean air so nothing can get in to stick to it. >_>

It doesn't matter where you sand it lol as long as it's prepared to the point where it should be. What matters most is the environment it's in between that last coat of paint and your clear coat. That's when whatever gets on it will show through the clear.

If something gets on it you just sand it out and buff the area, its what car manufacturers do. :u

I would actually like a convertible challenger. Camaro too. I hate how chevrolet is fasing out the SS. They should go out with a bang, and make some super-sexy SS. Like a new Impala SS with the Corvette LT1 v8 in it, like the old impala SS. Or a Cruze SS that makes that crapbox look good and preform good.
