Very nice write up, but why do you have to use all that vinyl? Wouldn't the red and carbon fiber be enough?

yes its enough , the brown is for rps13 the matt black is for the edges of the reverse light cut it makes it look ligit

and those tail lights look crappy compared to the correct 180sx altezzas...

this was my "conversion" i did a few years ago... looks more like the rear 180sx lights with the bubbled lenses.

how'd you do the bubble effect to make it look like the kouki tails?
