ZOMG, I was thinking to myself "that post is not going to make sense to anyone else since it is such a specific case" haha. That's awesome. On that concept the frosted effect actually comes from a textured plastic piece behind the main lense which on the stock car is mostly red, and the concept was clear. I bought aftermarket tails that looked the same as stock but were clear, but turns out the dimensions were slightly different, and I had to tear one apart just to find that out. RAAGGEEE. Thus the frosted spray.
Yeah I'd be hesitant until I saw a good shop. Speaking of, now that I looked back at yours again, I think that would be ideal for silver as well. Having the red border above and below the clear section flows much better than a sudden stop. Looks like I'll have to bust out the masking tape, red spray, and polish when mine comes in. Nice work.
