not a fan of overlay it always looks soo thick and not as transparent as painting them but I like the effort and it still does look much better than stock.

Going to be painting mine with some VHT Red tint

Even though this is more practical than painting it, it doesn't look like the correct red; too bright.

I still think the best look would be to crack it open and only paint the chrome trimming. I'm still waiting for someone to be the guinea pig.

Perhaps if they have a pink/rose colored tint it may work.

I really want red taillights as well, but over they years, on every car i have yet to see a tint job that looks natural, you can tell on all of them that its been modfied. but yours so far does look better than anything ive seen. hopefully second go turns out well

Who sells those?

Grazio & Co., they are a Japanese company, and they are fairly steep (something like $700).

Spyder Auto (here in the States) has an FRS now, so they should be offering some new lights soon.

Those look really nice tho, too bad they are kind of pricy...
