Altezza light tutorial
well this is my car:
As u can see there are altezza lights. Its not really all that hard to make these, ive been meanign to make these for a while now but im cool and lazy like that.
ok heres the tut. ENJOY!
Materials needed:
paint thinner
1 small sheet of shiny material (foil, silver leaf, etc.)
i used foil for mine
1 razor (for cutting excess foil)
1 red Sharpie (its what i used)
ok now here are the steps
Steps:
Step 1: Separate your xmod body from the chassis
Step 2: Look at the back behind where the lights are located
You will see little plastic blobs that connect the lights to
the body. Take the razor (or however you want to take it
out) and cut out the plastic.
Step 3: Take out the lights. Make sure the little plastic rods are
intact, or you're screwed.
Step 4: Take the thinner and take out all the paint on the lights
Step 5: Take the red sharpie and color where you want the red
to be
Step 6: Get the sheet of foil and place it where the lights will go
on the body. So pretty much place the foil where the
lights are placed.
Step 7: Push the lights through the foil and back onto the body,
and now you should have foil sticking out of the sides of
the lights.
Step 8: Cut out the excess foil from the body
Step 9: Now you have Altezza Lights!
Note: the lights should fit properly without having to glue it back on because theres foil making it snug. But if its loose then glue it on

I found a product called goof-off that also safely clears out the lights.

AcuraPerformanc are you sure its brake fluid instead of brake cleaner... Cause that is to completly diffrent things... I didn't think brake fluid had the right chemicals to dissolve the paint off the lights...OR maybe had TOO MUCH chemicals to dissolve the paint... But I dunno you tell me...

i dont know what kinda paint that is on there but i havnt tryed it. I know it works with moldels , I use brake fluid to strip the paint off and it works just takes a little time and then you have to clean it good with soap and water. Iwill try it and tell you how it works.

Okay thanks for the warning AcuraPerformanc and I hope you can find something that works... Like brake cleaner or finger nail polish remover...
