I can try on my next day off, if my Dad will let me borrow his digital camera. Mine's still going through all the warrenty crap to get it fixed. I warn ahead of time: Don't be shocked by Mayhem's appearance in the pic.lol Steelies, no wing, and possibly by that point, the body work will have begun(should be this Mon & Tues. that it starts)

archemedes 05-06-2005 02:50 AM

no problem no big hurry (gotta have money to buy teh stuff first anyway)

I went though some old pics, and found this one. It was pretty far away. Its not the brakes, though, just had the parking lights on in that pic.

If you can see the running lights during the day that good, your going to be able to see the brakes aswell..

but you need to see the brakes better than parking lights (there is actually a distance thing) some of us like our cars safe and good looking :lolsign:

I know but I was saying that if you can see the running lights that well in the day.. And the brakes are brighter than the running lights im sure you will be able to see them as well.. You know what I mean?

Also Danielle if you ever wanted to remove the black is it possible?

meissen 05-06-2005 06:38 PM

Let's put it this way, I'm going outside right now to take pictures of mine, and mine are a lot darker than hers (I think I did somewhere between 10-13 coats)

meissen 05-06-2005 06:58 PM

My passenger side parking light has a bulb out, my passenger headlight is burnt out, and the driver side of the third brake light is burned out.
