my (not so) new Hardtop Tail lights - Page 2

chicaboo · 02-06-2005, 07:38 PM

Unreal, now get them painted and on the car already! Oh, did I say that...?

smky · 03-06-2005, 12:10 PM

Rupe: Couldn't you make a fibreglass mould? If you layer-up enough on the inside it should be thick enough to prevent light from going through, plus the paint would also help.

Just a thought.

skippy · 03-06-2005, 05:07 PM

And possibly even mould out a few more if the mood takes..............

pr1mo · 03-06-2005, 05:37 PM

yeah make moulds man. youd be crazy famous then

Rupewrecht · 04-06-2005, 03:00 PM

heh maybe.

dunno if i want to share!

pr1mo · 04-06-2005, 11:49 PM

make the new ones with a 3rd hole or something. sell em blank and let people work out their own light design that way everyone will still be diffrent

cheers mike

Cosmo Dude · 05-06-2005, 09:03 AM

Don't forget the Rupewrecht by design logo in the mould

wiredone · 27-06-2005, 05:51 PM

i would keep them a once off...

always worth being different... =p

mrpayner · 27-06-2005, 06:29 PM

Talking with Dan in person the other night he's applied some body coloured paint to the headlights and tail lights.. Hopefully we'll see some preliminary shots soon.

Rupewrecht · 01-09-2005, 09:12 PM

well, these have kinda stagnated a bit as the paint wasn't a fantastic match, and the light design has been evolving. And i've been working on other things.

but at the moment (lol) it's like this. just imagine the outer ring where the small globes are is reflective red.

Dogo · 01-09-2005, 10:07 PM

CRA23 · 01-09-2005, 10:51 PM
