Default Brian needs help modifying his B5

Im going with the bumble bee look. Black enkei PKR rims with probably h&r lowering springs for the 1" in the back and 1.25" in the front....

anyways, i need recommendations for a shop that will redo my shitty clear bra in the front and also another shop or same (w/e) that can tint my rear taillights super dark...

NEED ADVICE!

btw, i was also looking at getting the fk black badge less grill and fk smoked rear taillights off of ecstuning but the lights are out of stock and im trying to see what "cheaper" and "more immediate" options i have...

You could always use VHT Niteshades for the tails. You can find it for like $5 a can on ebay. Its a spray tint that I've seen people use for good results, and you can keep adding coats until its as dark as you like.

Another recommendation is take off that clear bra and never think about it again! They are fugly and IMO they take off so much appeal

Leave your car in the heat for awhile so your bra can be warm and try to peel from a corner..if it doesnt peel then get a blow dryer and warm it up dont get it to hot! Then you should be able to peel it off without damaging any paint..also if it gets hard in some spots just heat it up with the dryer..should work..done it before

I've heard with the night shades you can get the lenses clean with some rubbing alcohol then do light coats until its as dark as you want. Shouldn't be too hard, you'd definitely want to take the housings out.
