Smoked my tails **Pic UPDATE PAGE2**

I posted this in the Members Rides section but thought I'd post here for you guys too.

Some may like it... some may not. Personally... with the colour scheme I'm going with, it suits my car.
Anyways, for those that want to know how I did this... I can write up a DIY later. Also... ontop of smoking them, I went the extra step and took it to a paint shop and had them hit it with a couple shots of clear to give it that bit of shine/wet look.
Here they are... let me know what you think.

And now my car back in summer mode... Mugen lip on it's way

is that going to be well looked upon by police and such?

looks neat so there are no other colours other than black and silver, but do the brake lights and such show through OK?

seem like it could get dangerous...lol if someone doesnt see you stopping!

Thanks for the comments guys/gals. The tails are visible when I brake during the day... at night they're even brighter but for added piece of mind I think I'm gonna throw in some hyper white bulbs. They're a little brighter then stock.

They look very nice. They really compliment your headlights, dark rims and altezza grill.

You may want to consider smoked licence plate covers next.

NEW PICS OF THE LIGHTS ON!
Ok now... before I get swamped with questions... let me just tell you guys that I did the reverse tail light DIY... Where I relocated my brake light to where my turn signals are and moved my turn signals to where my brake lights used to be. I like this look better because I'm not riding around at night with the horseshoes lit up.

NIGHT SHOTS
Ok... here they are at night with the headlights on....

Pic of my tails when I hit the brakes...

Turn signals on (I had the 4 ways going)...

The day time shots didn't turn out as well on camera. I'll post pics anyways but trust me, you can see them in day.

Lights on in the day...

Brake lights on....

Turn signals on....

Am I the only one who cant see his signals during the day?

I hope those are bad photos because your brake lights are very faint and Im having trouble even making out your turn signals.

you better make sure your third brake light never burns out or your gonna get rear ended

got sidemarkers atleast?

safety aside they look awesome!

The day pics are pretty bad. I think the turn signal pictures were caught at the wrong time... they were blinking off when I captured it... and the brake lights really are brighter then that.
