3GFX's Ride

[3GFX]

Sooooooooooooo HOT!

lol why thank you!

Dave your rims are sweet!!!!! it matches your setup perfectly.... Are you sure those aren't 19-20's? LOL!!

Thanks, I'm really happy with them its a shame they're off for winter. I just can't wait to get springs and maybe they really will look like 19s :p

[Tokyo Drift]

pics are real clean and great!
are those taken before your winter mode?

[3GFX]

Of course...end of october actually.

lookin' sweet Dave! Those rims are worht every penny!

I just went in to get my tires here in town and had a nice long chat with the sales guy and he found some TFT Gunmetal rims in the back that i just LOVED and gave me a nice quote too. Still think yours are nicer, but TFT makes some real nice wheels.

... gotta go to CT and find that reflective tape now

[3GFX]

That sounds sweet man, PM me a pic I wanna see them man!!!

[1flycdnM3]

I would if I could find them *lol*

the salesman wrote the number on his card for me for reference, but not sure where to find them online. they are gunmetal # 414 (whatever that means) hahahaha. next time i go in to rotate my tires I will see if i can take a pic of them. they also had one of your rims on display and I will get a pic of that too

There are actually 2 kinds. One is called "blackout tape" and it is in the automotive section right by the parts/service counter and the other is called "SafeTape" which is the black reflective tape I found near the audio section at the end of the row. This was in the Appleby Line store.

[b3GS]

awesome! thanks man.. now I know what to look for!

[blk_muzda]

can you put the SafeTape over the 3rd taillight?

[3GFX]

No, it doesn't let any light through. Your only option for the 3rd tail is to replace it, tint it with external tint, or easiest and cheapest tint paint.

Hey where did you get tint paint? Thanks

[3GFX]

I picked it up in Pacific mall, at Autosports if I'm not mistaken.

[1flycdnM3]

I will chime in again on this one. Marco gets credit for this though. The tint is called "VHT Nite-Shade" and can be purchased at Performance Improvements (they usually have 3-4 cans lying around). I have done alot of research on this and it is probably your best bet if you aren't near Pac Mall like Dave said

[1flycdnM3]

I am hesitant to put this SafeTape on though, Dave. It looks more "blue" than "white" as a reflective tape. Also looks VERY bright in the pic on the package. Not sure if you got the exact same stuff, but any insight?? I guess i just dont want it to attract too much attention away from the tail lights (im sure you dont either)

[mEtH]

I prefer the Tamiya Model Paint, it coats a lot better I find. Also does not come out with a flat look like night shades.

It reflects bright white, trust me. It reflects better than any other reflector for the car, so if you don't want that you won't want to use the SafeTape. BUT that is what I used.

This is a pic with the flash on, showing the reflection:
