Suck it Honest Bob, I tired of these damed APC 3D's i tinted them, check the progress - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

My car came with the APC 3d's. I have been looking for some way to make them just look cleaner. I think this is a good first attempt.

The next stage is to spray the chrome gloss black. Leaving only the one lense red. Sort of a cross between a Cobalt and a Skyline.

What do you guys think?

lol Sorry for that sounding like a retarded robot. I tried to use the powerscribe on my PDA to type that while I walked to a patients room fast.

that'll be pretty crazy lookin, I wanna see after you do it.

RayArroyo · 09-07-2006, 06:51 PM

i think it will look better with no tail lights

Thanks,

Ill be painting them tomorrow. Any tips on that?

I was gonna:

1. Mask off lenses
2. 400 grit sand
3. Wipe down with Alc.
4. Plastic Primer
5. Gloss black paint
6. Wet sand with 400 again
7. Wipe down with Alc. again

Sound about right?

No taillights is always a hit. Just put some bicycle reflectors in place of them.

Holy crap! A thread with my name in it. I'm honored

I'm not gonna say anything till after you complete your quest of the black spray paint. It may turn out decent.

The best way to make APC products look better is to remove them. APC stands for "Always Producing Crap."

You cant spell crap without APC.
