^^ have you had any problems with the police?

none as of yet *touch wood*

as long as it's a good balance between allowing the yellow through and looking dark it's not really noticeable unless someone points it out to you. one of those subtle things that you cant quite put your finger on.

it's easily removed with a solvent - that said, reversing is a bitch with the windows and lights tinted

has anyone got pics of their indicators done in that nightshades stuff? i tried my local repco and auto barn and they only had the spray. does normal (window) tint film work on indicators?

I did the spray on my indicators (yellow) just to see what kinda look it gave, and it was sweet.

Just tape around it and spray away.

Ended up swapping to the nismo smoked indicators... same thing.

You can get the stuff off fairly easily, but I would recommend a clear gloss over the top cause it does dry almost matt...

I do need to give them a gloss coat..

The lower black strip was done with vinyl...

and thats using clear light assemblies with coloured glodes, I should take a phot of them light up in day to show you...

Its done on the outer of the lens, I guess I could of done it inside the lens but that would mean breaking apart the assembly which is different to stock ones.. If your using the stock light it will definitely need to be done on the outside of course...

Ohh good! :P

I just did the reverse and indicator light on my four door 34 be cos its seperate to the round break lights i wanted to match it to the car (its black) and give it more of a classic skyline look. I just wanted to make sure it was ok to do it to the outside because of sun exposure and such. Just to clarify have u used anything to protect the spray like a gloss coat?

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
