Thumbs up BRABUS BULLIT TAIL LIGHT MOD DIY! Looks MEAN! (Pic attached)

1- Bought chrome tail trims on ebay
2- Sanded both trims with 150 grit sandpaper to rough up the surface (did not need to remove all the chrome)
3- Set on table with newspaper and sprayed first of 3 coats of plastic/chrome primer (waited 5-10 mins to dry between each coat)
4- Sprayed 3 coats of Black Satin VHT Brand Hood and Trim Paint (waiting about 10 mins to dry between each coat)
5- Peeled off backing of included 3m tape and stick on over tail lights.
6- Admire your car and realize your rear end is finally complete and that you no longer need to tint your tails illegally because the black trims make them look darker and make you realize the black and bright red is all you need







Looks similar to Brabus Bullit tails except I think I like the fatter black dividing bar that mine have better (I think bullit tails are painted on the inside or vinyl taped on the inside):

When I visited NYC last week, I saw a silver c-class with this taillight mod along with quad exhaust and blacked out grill. It looked amazing! makes me want to do it now too.

btw, if that c-class was somebody on this forum, your car looks great! saw you on that highway/road that surrounds NYC? license plate was NRS something.. or something like that.. haha

It looks incredible in the pictures, but I think the added bulk in person would get on my nerves.
