Smile My new All-Red tails *Pics*

Well, I posted earlier that I redid my tails but I had to redo them last weekend again since they were fogging up. After a car wash and a few storms, both tails haven't fogged up at all! Anyway, I removed the plastic cover, painted ALL 3 lenses with red glass paint to get a uniform effect and stuck them back in. Easier said than done. I think it looks much nicer than the pics in my sig, much cleaner, no?





This pic is a bit dark.


The emblems aren't really shaved, it's a photochop.

I like it, but the question is...do your co-workers like it? or do they think it's "ricey"?

Where would the paint go??? It's airtight and waterproof!! I painted INSIDE the lens, not the outside. And if it did fade in a year, I'd just paint them again like the rest of my car.

serves you right for having them in the first place...:p ...

j/k...


actually, i like both, you should have two sets of taillights, one with the clear reflector, and these...

that, or manufacture them...

either way, keep up the good work...
