Yours looks much better at the height it's at. You could use an exhaust mod though.

Hellaflush = HellaSAD

Yes, the red one looks proper and IMO so much better

The choice on wheels too... the stepped lip and the rivets on the Rotiforms (dont know much about those wheels.. just looked them up and noticed at least they are forged) just looks too heavy and clumsy for a sports coupe.. the VIP'd look is only for luxury 4 door sedans IMO.

the red one looks proper and sporty.

Honestly, if you can't bother yourself with searching or even doing a Google search, you are better paying someone to do it.

Seriously, look up the DIY threads either on here or another website, and it will give you a breakdown on materials and methods of spraying or tinting the taillights. Saying that this forum doesn't help other members won't help you down the road.

I am paying someone to do it. I have searched I asked a simple question because I liked how these tails turned out so I was hoping for a paint code to give to my shop. I'm not asking for a DIY i'm asking for a paint code.

I don't want VHT quality I want a profesional red/clear on my tails. I don't want to send my tails to anyone either why ship tail lights if there are plenty of shops here in the bay area that can do it if I give them a paintcode.

If you are going for perfection you are better off buying the Grazio ones:



IMO even a high quality paint shop will not be able to get the lens that perfectly

Your intent was not completely clear. Most people are taking the DIY approach, so we were pointing to the DIY solutions.

The issues with using automotive paint is that it can still vary. A paint shop could hit it with one extra coat and become a different shade. Not to mention there can be slight differences in color even with paint codes. Hopefully someone gets a paint code that you can get close to what you want.
