Republic Werkz E92 LCI Blackline Taillight Mod

swanlake · 12-11-2015, 03:51 PM

Hey guys,
so I know I've shown some pictures of these in my build thread but I took some pictures at work today that really show them off. If you have any questions about the work done I can do my best to answer as I did half of the labor on these myself alongside Chris @ Republic Werkz (one of my closest friends). These are not simply tinted lenses as people have asked me before. There is no tint whatsoever, all modification happens inside the housings leaving the LED's to shine at full brightness.

Hope you guys enjoy the pics and lights!
-Brett

It could technically be done with the same methods. Nobody has volunteered to be a Guinea pig as of yet haha

Saw the taillights in person, they look great.

I loved this idea back when that E93 had them done (wickede93 I think?)

I think it looks awesome! My preference would be to not go quite as dark.

The next phase is gonna be wrapped satin black with Forgestar CF5Vs in super deep concave with a textured bronze finish so the dark will match better. Quick photoshop of what I'll be doing:

Awesome. I think it would be best on a black car!

Do you have a pic at night?!

NYBulldog · 12-13-2015, 10:03 AM

Super sharp, makes it looks like the F10 lights. Should I do this on my E91?

sterile stork · 12-13-2015, 03:02 PM

Whoa. Real sharp.

Are you available to capture some images of the lights while illuminated in their variety of states? I'm really liking this look.

mkPOTO · 12-13-2015, 03:06 PM

very nice, makes me want to do it

Here's one example. I can take some additional shots tonight.

swanlake · 12-13-2015, 05:26 PM

Some other shots in different lighting

Ra_ · 12-13-2015, 05:45 PM

Very subtle mod, but love it. Wish I was brave enough to crack open it on my e90.

zero2sixtyZ · 12-13-2015, 06:46 PM

Looks great! Assuming taillights had to be cut open, internally painted, then resealed?

You should just buy my forgestar F14s. They're super deep and bronze.

Also, I love those tail lights so much it's ludicrous.
