I did mine about two years ago. also did the third brake light. Personally I don't think it was good idea, so I bought a Solstice third brake and installed it. Left it alone. These things are so low, and being seen is a problem. I love the look, but the safety side is definitely infringed upon.
My tails were painted and cleared...so they get waxed like the rest of the car. If the tails haven't been cleared in the OP's case, may not be a bad idea to clear them.
Me too! In my opinion the only other thing that would make look better now would b the hard top that costs like 3,000 bucks. Needless to say that wont be happning any time soon!!!
Well....In my defense I did just buy it like three weeks ago. So I've made pretty big improvement in that little time. Also, it hasn't been nice enough to do a full polish on it yet. I will get there though!
I also put the obnoxious flashing third brake deal in both of them. Tried to get my fog light wired into the third brake, but never could get that to work. Finally gave up on it. Marvic gave me some ideas, but after so many attempts, just said forget it.
The wife's Green Dragon has the tails tinted Envious to match the car. I also installed after market sequential super bright LEDs so they remain both bright and attention grabbing.
Interestingly the third brake light for the Solstice when I bought 10 spares were $5 each three years ago on eBay. today they are $125 from GM. The Sky silver light was over $100 when I last looked. I had a red light painted for the Dragon and will finally get around to installing it this month.
As to the fender inserts, they are taped in place and you can buy replacement units on eBay for not a lot of money in a lot of different factory colors. I found a set that were carbon fiber painted for the Dragon. Easy replacement.
Rob, do you know how to search for them on ebay? Like what to actually type in?
Really, we got lazy on the inserts. I would prefer to just pull them out, but it would take pulling off the fender and I didn't really want to do that at the time....
I am thinking about doing the same thing. One of the best looking mods Norm has ever come up with. May just have to call him tomorrow. Been spending to much money on trains, the Skpel feels left out!!!
