Tail Light Tuesday

[Mainfinger]

I like the clean look without all the badging. The wife has approved the removal of "AWD", "SX" and "V6". I want to tint the taillights like @Mainfinger although my index finger is not as smooth and I may have to purchase twice the material.

I haven’t fully been able to commit to taking off the badging. On the one hand it looks good on the nightfall, on the other I usually remove all the badging on my cars. #torn As far as the vinyl tint, these lights are actually super easy to do. I did a quick write up on it on one of my posts. Two cars worth of vinyl was $30. It lays so easily that a caveman could do it. The telluride light is a beginner type hard. The gmc acadia was expert level 1000. Completely botched it.

Shoot I might need to open a side hustle and start tinting tail lights.

@Njoytheride, That would be awesome. It's all CNC machined out of billet 6061 T6 aluminum. I think they can probably make you a custom flag hitch cover to your design specifications:

Got to love it, well there goes that cash, haha... hmm should I wait for the car to show. Well, I will look into how much it is. You know belonging to forums cost(s) in so many ways.
When I had my 2014 Camaro SS/1LE I spent some money on headers, plugs, CAI, and DynoTune because of a forum. At least here I know I am not going to Dyno my Telluride.

Once I receive mine I will do the work. I can say this is the first time I have purchased modification parts for a car I have yet to own. Those parts are Gorilla black lugnuts and Carbon Fiber badges (I may paint gloss/flat) meaning leave the carbon flat and paint the trim and K with clear gloss. If I mess up I can purchase another pair.

ETSY is there for you or eBay. Don't forget to market the product, the taillights may be hard to find as production is at a fast clip.

Yea, well it will be wife driven and she did not like the passenger seat when I drove the Camaro. I really should have taken her to the local track (The Ridge Motorsport parkway)

Might as well do it, right? You do a great job + it's a product/service people want. Why not?

Thank you very much, I have reached out to them. Man do I love "Taillight Tuesday" or what. Save money for taillight tint, ECU tune, and trailer hitch cover.

 

[JonFar111]

Because why?
OK, I'll bite. Here's one from when the roads were dry & salt-free, my Telly was actually clean, and the weather was pleasant (which seems like a lifetime ago).
BUUUUUUURRRRRRRRR...

Oh, and OF COURSE I have a flag trailer hitch cover!

Yep, they created the one I wanted!!!! I paid today and will wait for about a week and then receive it. Thank you so much, now I just have to wait for my car to be built. Man so many modifications in the box just no car yet. Perhaps I should go look at pricing Borla exhaust, then perhaps an ECU map lol...

Awesome. I'm glad they were able to make a custom flag design for you.

Now you'll have to post some photos here when you receive it and put it on your Telly. No worries about ordering stuff early. It's totally normal.

The moment I got my VIN, I ordered floor mats, cargo area stuff, other accessories, the American flag hitch cover, a wash/detailing kit from WeatherTech. You should see all the first aid / tools / outdoor survival / prepper stuff I put in the hideaway storage area.

We gotta do something while we're waiting, right?
