Painted Tails

[truDriver]

I recently had my taillights custom painted by a local guy who does these as a side
job. He was able to send me photoshop images of what my tails would look
like, and worked with me to come up with a design I really liked, before
anything was painted.

I'm really happy with how everything turned out. Several layers of
clearcoat were added to insure the color won't fade, and that the paint will
be resistant to rock chips and bad (MI) weather.

I've also pictured my evo next to his intrepid that he also did. For the
quality of work here this cost almost nothing!

If you're interested in having him do your taillights, contact him by e-mail
at halzazz@hotmail.com

He is located in Ann Arbor.

Enjoy!

Thanks!

John charged me $50 for the set. This included going through different designs and colors with photoshops of my car before he ever started painting.

If you send front and rear views of your evo to John at halzazz@hotmail.com he should be able to send you what your painted headlights and tails could look like. Then, if you're interested you could tell him specifically how you would want them to look and he could change the photoshop accordingly.
