Painted tail lights
 
3 Attachment(s)
I got the tail lights painted red and the lower triangle painted to match. I did this as a different option. So far none of the tail light options have really fitted the look I was going for, minus the Tom's. I just couldn't stand the Alteza style lights or waiting for the Toms anymore. To me Alteza tails just brings back bad memories of poorly modified cars of my child hood. This turned out to be relatively cheap option. They came out beautifully and in my opinion this is how the car should have came. The lights are as bright as stock and will only get better clarity, when I polish them out. It makes the gold wheels and white paint of the car really pop. Note that this is the next day and in a few weeks I will really polish it out and clear it up more.

Mostly bad pictures from a cellphone. Up close it isn't that opac and also hasn't fully cured and needs a final polish. Once I do a final polish I'll post it up.

Looks like you laid a fruit roll up on the lights.

Get them suckers polished and clear coat them.
