I put together a 3-part video series on how to make clear tails:

  • Part 1: Full teardown – taking the tails apart step by step
  • Part 2: Different combos and setups you can create
  • Part 3: Sealing everything back up + breaking down the overall cost

Super detailed from start to finish—perfect if you’ve been thinking about trying it yourself.

First time doing brakes, and I went with R1 Concepts drilled and slotted rotors paired with ceramic brake pads. I also tried something a little different with the calipers to give them a unique look. The ride feels very smooth now, with strong stopping power and no more vibrations at high speeds. Next up, I’m getting ready to add some new shoes to finish off the setup.

Took on a new project I’m calling transparent tails. Chrome was color-matched to crimson black for a sleek, factory-plus look.

Setup includes:

  • Sequential amber switchback tails
  • Blinking brake light options
  • Parking light welcome animation
  • Dual reverse lights

Wrapped the headliner and installed a full starlight setup—easily the most tedious mod I’ve ever tackled. Added stars in the B & C pillars, plus meteor streaks flowing down the A pillars for extra effect.

All the tan trim and sun visors got repainted in black using plastic/vinyl paint, then sealed with a matte clear coat for that OEM look. I even painted the pano roof shade black—had to do it inside the car since pulling it out would’ve risked messing with the motor. It’s a bit stiffer now rolling in and out, but still works fine.

One thing I skipped was removing the old headliner fabric before wrapping in suede—definitely caused some adhesion issues. Looks like I’ll need to redo it at some point, but for now, the transformation is on another level.
