EEEEEEEWWWWWW!!!! I bet this guy won't be invited to High Tea with the Queen anytime soon! :lol:

 

That is one, hella shiny Prius. Excellent job on the detailing.

 

I had to "log in" just to say...."WOW!" I swore to myself never, ever to get a black car again, because I felt that I should clean it everyday for it to look good, but...after seeing that, it is just totally beautiful! and that's an understatement. Sad to hear that its not legal, otherwise I would do it tomorrow. It's a worry already to have my windows tinted darker than the law allows. These laws, they sure ruin all the fun!

Do you think he also liked what he saw? 5 minutes?...that's enough time to decide if you like something or not and if you are going to do something about it. Good luck!

 

Nice job. If you don't mind my asking:

1. Is that Dark or Medium Dark?
2. How much did it cost to do the two tails?
3. Did you consider doing the headlights also?
4. How long did it take to remove/replace the assemblies? Any photos of that procedure?

Thx!

If you do photoshop it you have to vigorously deny it and say your son took the photo!

 

^^ haha. Dont drag on that thread, but it is funny

The tail lights and head lights blacked out are not illegal where I live.

ROFLMAO!!

Seriously, dude, you did a great photoshop job... but, you had a very beautiful car to start with!

 

It's like, how much more black could this be? and the answer is none. None more black.

Most laws are in place for very good reasons. Laws define acceptable behavior for the masses. You tint your windows so that I can not see through them to get a better picture of what is going on ahead of us. You tint your headlight and taillight covers to make these very important communication and visual aid devices less effective. I want to know what is going on around me so that I can react effectively to avoid conflict, your efforts at customizing your car conflict with my efforts to stay safe on the road.

Saddly you are not alone in your quest for stealth, we have many people in this area that follow the same path. You show your car in a dark garage, but what about a bright sunny day with the glare of the sun? Turnsignals and brakelights need to be seen easily from more than one angle, and in the correct color to have maximum effect during daily driving. Some auto manufacturers do a poor job of designing effective lighting and signals on their vehicles in the persuit of that cool look. We do kill around 45,000 people a year on our roads, poor communication between vehicles plays a major role in the mass killing. Police have other things to do I guess than pull people over for tinting violations. We have a lights on laws for construction zones and anytime your wipers are on, but very poor enforcement leads to poor compliance. I turn my headlights on everytime I drive to save lives, where do you stand?

 

can you drive at 90mph on the freeway over there?
:blink:
