I have always thought the reverse lights with the little red triangle was a little out of place. I have even had some friends ask "whats that there for"

With this i feel it makes the purpose a little more obvious and i think it looks alot better.

Its just some flat black vinyl.

I think i might be the first to do this:

Before:

After:

And just for the hell of it:

That looks pretty good on black. I might not be able to get away with that on my whiteout. Not really feeling the piston badge back there.

I think that is technically illegal. Isn't that the only reflector on the rear? I don't think the tail lights have reflectors in them.

Ya they do. You can see my flash reflecting off the tail lights in the pics. The car is not on.

Edit: in the first pic you can actually see that the little red reflector actually isnt reflecting where the tail lights are.

To each their own.

I like the look and the idea that uninformed people wont know what kind of car it is.

Hard for my asphalt to pull that off. Looks neat though, clean lines.

I like it. I was just thinking today of removing the sion badges and replacing them with custom made one's. I was going to use the ovel and add the 86 to them. I also have thought about using the ovel and machining out the sion and replacing it with des

I used flat black to try and match the rear 'diffuser' rather than to match the raven paint.

I think it would work with all colour of cars.
