Okay, another small how to my dgc393, and it really is only one small difference, but a note able one.
To spray tint your tails, follow the steps almost EXACTLY as in the how to done here http://www.g6performance.com/phpBB3/...p?f=29&t=24862 ...however, when it some time to covering your reverse light, here's the difference. Coupes do not have a different plastic piece for reverse lights and regular lights, its just one large flowing piece of plastic. So if you want to cover your reverse lights to get the nice contrast, and visibility on a coupe, it becomes very difficult to do so with it looking uniform, and symmetrical. However, I have found the solution
...just follow these steps.
Tools Needed :
-Plyers
-T15 screw head
-Pen
-Masking Tape
-Flash light
-Exacto knife
-2000 grit sand paper
-Bug and tar remover w/ paper towels
-Can of niteshades
-Can of clear coat
Step one: Removing the light assembly. First, 'unscrew' all the light pieces (white arrows) my turning them a quarter turn to the left, and pulling them straight out, behind very careful of the lights. Then, unclip wires from hold points (yellow arrows). Then it should be held on by one steel clip, be extremely careful while pulling this out. But just give it a semi tough pull straight outwards.
Step two: Use your T15 to remove the bolts connecting the black plastic flow piece. Total of three bolts holding these on.
Step three: Cover reverse light in good quality masking or painters tape
Step ten: Since its flat material, there's no way of knowing where the reverse light exactly is. UNLESS, you use your trusty little flashlight, shine it up the reverse light hole..and TADA..outline ready for tracing with your pen!
Step four: Trace out the outline while holding the flashlight, should end up something like this.
Step five: Use an exacto knife to cut out exact outline of the reverse light
Step six: Use 2000 grit (or so) Sand paper on your lights, this helps all shades stick better. Sand in an even motion
Step seven: Use bug and tar remover on them, and from here on out DO NOT touch the outside of the lights, which could result in complete ruining of final product
