Tails
I just saw this and thought it was kind of strange. Are those covers, or did they paint the lights? I dont like exactly how they did it, but it could look good if done somewhat differently.

Rep Power: 0 You can either paint the tails or paint some masking and put it over the tails. I recommend the latter. I don't like the way those tails look either, but I did see some painted tails that I really liked that were on a black Civic. Not with the circiles like that...it was sort of a ...well...I'll try to find a pic if I know where it is.
By the way, did you take that picture or did you find it online. If you took it, I don't know how happy the guy would be about you posting his plates online :O hehe

It doesn't look like he painted them. It looks more like he took and layed vinyl over the lights. Whatever he did, it looks like ***.

Rep Power: 0 I split open my ulgteezas and painted EBP to match my car....just re-sealed them this weekend and haven't installed yet.....I did paint over the reverse lens, obviously it was clear, and now it's body color, do u think i'd get pulled over while just driving cuz there's only red circles, and no clear reverse lights????

Rep Power: 0 I painted my tezza's EBP on my sedan just last weekend. I got the paint at local auto paint store who customized the color code and mixed it into a spray can so it's an exact match (i did the same with my headlight housings). I split open the lights same way as the headlights (look at the DIY, I used the oven) it take PATIENCE though. Once apart, lightly sand down the chrome finish and use a primer first. Then spray away and re-seal. I actually painted over the reverse light, just to add more blue to the rear of the car. I've got the chrome molding painted EBP also, and it's shaved w/ the OEM rear, so it looks tight. Once all re-sealed, just slap back on and be done w/ it. Just hope they don't leak......

Rep Power: 0 ps. I also painted a 3/8" border around the perimeter of all the clear lenses so that it looked clean, you could see marks where I pryed the lights apart, so the border covers all of it....

Rep Power: 377 I did kinda make a DIY in Member Rides Forum. If you want, I think you can still do a Search in there for it. Just look under my name. I think I did 2. One for the Headlights and one for the Taillights.
