How's my butt look?

fasteddie99 · 11-19-2011, 03:29 PM

Removed my stock rear wing and goose-neck 3rd tail light. Got a used rear lid, had it painted, installed a Hella #37 LED tail light (thanks to Daniel Stern) and Pelicanite al lkosmal's grille. I like the nice, clean, classic lines...

Excellent. "Carrera" looks just a bit crooked; could be me. I'd think about painting the grill nuts/bolts black; maybe not. Great look, for sure!

Nice.....Clean and efficient. The grille really sets it off. Good choice.

nesslar: down on the right a bit?

Got a bit wider shot for us? I see just the hist of some nice smooth bumpers. Stock with trim removed or...

The grill looks fantastic. +1 on black nuts/bolts.

Did you find taping in for the 3rd brake light to give you any trouble?

Will get better pics up sometime...Bumpers are Getty Design. Actually, the fasteners are black. The grommets they go into are black-er! And I think the camera flash accentuates the difference. The guys who did the paint installed the 3rd brake light. My one complaint is that I don't like the way the tape is visible on it.

Yeah, I think so....still likin' the look overall! Looking again, it does appear the fasteners are black; just the light.

Nice work and it looks great!!!!!!

Nice to know I'm not the only one afflicted by the dreaded "symmetrical vision" ability and agree it's down on the right

Has pissed of my darling wife for years

I took a level to it to verify. About an eighth of the bubble off. I may fix it if it really starts to bug me or I may just leave it.

Mike's wife will hear about this...

My Wife just said, "What? pffft..."....lol I straighten pictures after every door I slam.

Oh, BTW, meant to add to your post title, "Don't know!", but the car looks fine.............................................. .......

Is the 3rd light required by law in the US, or what is the deal with that?

I like that grill with the 3.2 badge, looks great!

Agree with Chadloose - a wider shot would be nice to get the full effect.

I believe the 3rd brake light has been required here since '86. Regardless, I like it for greater visibility...new Toyota Corollas dwarf this car!

"new Toyota Corollas dwarf this car!"....
lol, don't I know it! My Wife parks her '09 Corolla S right next to me! Those ain't your mom's/grammas Corollas!

I likey the 3.2 on that Biotchen grill

Sorry to say the wrench forgot the alignment layer with the Hella logo on the 3rd light, it came with the kit. it is dark grey to hide the whiter tape. Sorry to be a downer

, He probably did not follow the enclosed instructions. Like most of us are guilty of

Over all she looks Great!

As far as the Carrera, it may just be the angle.

P.S. 3rd lights are required by DOT after '85

Very clean look.

I too would like another picture with the bumper.
