    That is why there is a demand for aftermarket housings that have black mouldings and/or deep red lenses.
    well like i said, the amount of light that shines thru is actually very close to stock at night time, thats why i like them

    i hate driving behind people with taillights so tinted i literally cannot tell if their braking or not

    overall, personally, ive found cops in vic to be quite leniant to "small" issues like this, and most times just get a warning, ive been let off for much worse !

    heres a daytime pic both taillights tinted



    i think the 20% rears outshine the taillights in this pic

      I've requested the following:

      Front bumper and side skirts. However I'm hoping a little adventure that myself and Gavs are on will pay off! >.<

      Update: The item cannot be shipped in the body kits current phase, they physically need to measure the car as its hand crafted from scratch.

      However they are planning to make a mass produced version of this bar soon (Most likely PP plastic instead of Fibreglass etc).
      oh tru
      if you hear anything promising from them, could you give me a yell
      id be very interested

        Oh noes..... that is where the r20 bar was good, it retained the look of 'factory' which is a bloody well proportioned car. That kit, it just ruins it

          The problem with the R20 bar...is that its now impossible to get it into Australia, that and I cannot find out who the original manufacturer is in order to make them send one with the appropriate paperwork...

          We'll see how our little venture goes Gavs...if your contact can actually take photos of the splitter that they're selling. *fingers crossed*

          • So yesterday I decided to do a little plasti dipping. Check it out






            Next move is to turn denvers into detroits like this

              They wouldn't have the machined face, so I guess they'll be dentroits?

              • Looks good bassik, good job! Must say I like the look of the complete black side mirrors. Looks quite sleek...

                Also "Dentroits" that's quite funny!

                • Yeah I'm going to have a hard time stenciling those ovals though. Not sure how to go about it...lol I've got the gloss plasti dip too so I was hoping that would give the metallic look.

                          so just a tip. from experience. .. I've tried the Detroit look on denvers. and it's hard to make it look perfect. but with the gloss finish u need 4 coats minimum. but I'm excited to see the end result. also make sure you get 18mm masking tape but the painters type.

                            Yeah that will be on the cards for sure... gotta get that wide tape, thing is how can i circulate the oval ring without it looking completely dodge... annoying thing is was the guy I bought the plasti dip off was happy to swap detroits for my denvers but I knew that didn't fit that would have solved everything...lol
