View Full Version : New paint -thanks DEFYANT
After seeing this in person at Barrys, and seeing the pics DEFYANT posted while looking for a correct font, I just had to have this done.
One of the most subtle "bling" mods I've seen. The dealership did this, and did a great job.
Pics attached.

I like the effect on Defyant's Silver MM where it is much more prominent. Had to look really hard to figure out what you were talking about on the DTR. :rolleyes: Quite subtle.
Is there any concern over lost of stop light/tail light visibility with this mod. :dunno: Seems that it would reduce the visibility distance considerably since those painted over areas do relect and increase the tail light view. Just my :twocents:

Looks nice man. I'm sure the tail lights still work fine. ;)

Kurt, they're fantastic! I'll get a good look at Charlie's at the CAM doo, Saturday, and since my Silver Birch's bumper needs a little touch up from the garage adventure(s) I can get 'em done at the same time. :D
Your'e right, it does stand out more on the silver, but in person, the effect of this is killer.
I have no worries about the lights. I mean look at some of the baby tail lights out there as it is. :)

Kirt you are quite welcome. But I pass on your credit to the other guys here who put the night shades (Cruztaker, BigDogJim to name a couple I've seen) on their cars before me. I also had someone on the board kind enough to photoshop the job for me before I did it (Thanks again!!)
I also had the same concern for the taillight visiblity. I modded my taillights to to be fully functional. Here is the link to the mod and write up: http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=16277&highlight=tail+light
BTW, I like how they came out!! I was wondering how it would look on a DTR MM!!
:beer: :beer:

BTW,
The only problem I have with my mod is the back up lights are not as bright (duh). Could also be the tinted windows (duh duh). I want brighter back up lights.

Nice job Kirt! Looks great!
You'll have to roll out to Quaker Steak one of these sundays for their car cruise. It's the one off I-90 in Sheffield. Might go this week...I'll be in touch.
