my "new" lights (56k no way)
6
I finally got the chance to paint my tail lights, since this weekend has been sunny. I think they turned out pretty freakin awesome.
It was a breeze to do, too. I used acetone, and my fingernail to remove the CRX sticker on the center piece, then masking tape, some newspaper, and a single thick coat of bumper paint is all it took. Left to dry around two hours in a garage where no dust could get to it, and voila, lights that dont need soy sauce to look good. I was thinking to remove the Honda and the H from the rear window, too, but not today.
The plastic is in rough shape, with cracks in them, but no leaks from the cracks so far, and i siliconed both sides of the gaskets before i mounted them on the car again, so the minimal leakage i had should be gone, and hopefully my windows will stop fogging up whenever it rains.
here are some pics.

The front end pics were taken on a different day, at a different house. After i painted the tail lights i realised the car REALLY needs a wash, but im too hungry to keep working on it. Ill wash her tomorrow.
