Want to make your stock center tailight section go from red letters to a CETA style letters and bird? Read along.
My stock 2000 Trans am center tailight letters and bird was faded. I wanted to get a new one. So instead of ordering a CETA center tailight section from the dealership I made my own.
1. Order CETA decal from afterthoughtsauto.com for $10
2. Wait for it in the mail
3. Take your center section out, wet sand it with 2000 grit sand paper and hot soapy water. i used dawn dish soap.
4. Polish compound the piece
5. Place decal on
6. Spray clear coat on top. Let dry for a day.
7. Polish compound the clear coat until it looks like glass
Cost
1.Decal $10
2. Sand paper $2
3. Polish compound $5
4. Clear coat spray $4
