New Take on GT-R Tails

I Have enjoyed bluebats overlays for a while on my G but I have always been bothered by the edges and overlapping parts of the vinyl and wanted a cleaner look that I think the G deserves. I considered sending my tails to 180 Customs who have done great work on my headlights but they only offer painting and I did not want to go that completely opaque with the look. So I talked it over with my new shop and he said he understood exactly what I meant and could definitely work on it until it was perfect... and he did just that!

Here is my new look with the GT-R styling tails:
















As you can see they give off a dark look but under direct sun or close they are not opaque. It is also such a cleaner look and the line between the two circles was made narrower per my request.


Thanks so much to Mindos at MM Motorsports!!!

I also had him clean up my diffuser and he got rid of the 3M tape line that I am sure the people who have this know about. It is now clean a flush with no grey edge of the tape!


Let me know if you guys are interested in this!

Great job!! I am looking to do something with my tails as well. Might consider doing something just like yours instead of just doing a full tint job. Just wonder how it would look on my Platinum Graphite sedan...
