haha your all good Jon lol I am the same way I wanted to pick the car up this morning but the shop was waiting on the glass guy so I have to come by this afternoon settle up my bill and get my baby back! I will do day time pics and night time pics tonight. One of our members is in my apartment complex so I will have to see if jonathan wants in on the photos... Jonathan ya hear me im taking pics today! lol all kidding aside I am going for a real clean look just remember I was the first!!! ;)

nogoodname 09-04-2009 12:24 PM

glass guy, what's going on in there....lol

bullitt5897 09-04-2009 12:46 PM

Nogood lets just say some things happened to the car that had to get fixed so several areas of the car had to be fixed and repainted along with a spoiler replacement and many other parts being replaced. I am not a happy camper in that aspect of my car's build but I cant speak any higher of the quality work Artcraft has done to make this car look brand new again (Artcraft did NOT do the damage FYI).

Don't ask me what happened as I have worked out a deal with the party who damaged the vehicle. If they fall through on their part there will be a huge thread on it. But so far they have reassured me of their stance to make things right so with that I will let the water go under the bridge. This is one of the problems with taking your car to multiple shops and being a first adopter sometimes sh!t happens even to the best of us.

nogoodname 09-04-2009 01:36 PM

oh ok..... hope for the best.... well, actually... dont hope for the best

NewYorkJon34 09-05-2009 12:37 PM

^ ya it's just 1 notch too dark for me, still looks badass tho

FuszNissan 09-05-2009 01:47 PM

WOW...I was skeptical, but those look amazing. They just pop on the white

YellowStar 09-05-2009 03:54 PM

How fast would you get pulled over with those taillights? Im assuming those are extremely illegal, IT looks absolutely amazing though, I wish i could get it done like that and not have to worry about fix it tickets.

eddieconfetti 09-05-2009 05:31 PM

Very nice. The only thing i would be worried about is getting pulled over. especially them ga cops being so anal. i should also mention them duluth cops.

CrownR426 09-05-2009 06:54 PM

Fresh!

bullitt5897 09-05-2009 09:31 PM

Illegal yea these are illegal... Do I care? Hell No! Artcraft will be doing another vehicle for a family member of mine but in a much lighter tint! These are extremely dark but look soooo good on the car both night time and day time. The finish on the tint is flawless if u look at the pictures u will see a very clean image of the sunset :) If ur in georgia stop by artcraft and see about getting yours done! Jeff will take good care of you ;)

nogoodname 09-08-2009 07:30 PM

i will upgrade mine tomorrow... you really need to upgrade those reverse lights

bullitt5897 09-08-2009 07:32 PM

lol maybe I havent noticed much of a difference when reversing.

nogoodname 09-08-2009 07:34 PM

problem is, my stock ones used to light up the driveway before.
since i have tints, no back up cam.... it helps.


now, the reverse lights are worthless and i can't see shit when reversing

Caravanshaka 09-09-2009 09:08 AM

looks good man! We'll see if I have to get mine done after I get my black wheels on...the red might stick out too much at that point!

phelan 09-09-2009 10:21 AM

LED reverse light get!

haven't looked if it's a PITA to get the rear light assembly off to upgrade the lights

looks great though! i'm personally biased towards just tinting the small strip with the turn signal and reverse, but that's b/c the red fits with my red car

bullitt5897 09-09-2009 05:22 PM

IDK here is the number to Artcraft (770) 435 5378

J. Dub 10-05-2010 10:51 AM

Bullitt, how is the taillight holding up?

Correct me if I'm wrong but they painted it with knight shade, yes? It's the only "paint" tha I know of that allows light to come through towards the outside but hardly any to go into the housing, thus allowing your brake lights to still remain just as visual as before.
