    since you can red out tails w/ regular candy apple red testers paint, i think clear corners would probably work w/ a similar testers color, you probably dont need high heat paint.

    What type of painted effect are you going for? I have a 00 and I'd be interested to give the corners a slightly smoked effect...

    ok, new ideas just came up. after what i saw on vamps site. i wanna make my own angel eyes. with the stock corners i have, all i have to do is to make the rod to shape the housing of the corners. seems to be that easy. but ill wait and try. i dont wanna paint the corners anymore.

    and vamp, what kinda LED do i need? and what kinda resistors too?
