Is that matched to Rallye Red, or is it just close?
Either way, I like it. Way to be original. Can't wait to see it on the car.

not feeling it at all, looks very interesting but on the car would look like a diy job. the shroud shape is very weird too.

Yeah... doesnt look too clean- around the red "amber" section. It looks like its just painted- so it wont reflect anything anyways, and will leave the bulb looking really out of place and dim. The lines arent very crisp. I mean, you got black, and you got chrome, and you got red... its just looks mismatched. All of the clear silicone looks really gobbed up- they sell black silicone, I think it would work for you better.
I too have rallye red, and that I dont think would look very good. But hey, everyone can do their own thing. I dont think its too late to change it up. The black on the inside would look a little better if it has more of a gloss to it then just the flat black. You should think about matching the color to your rims- say if you have gunmetal rims, spray them gunmetal instead of black.
I hope whatever you end up putting on will look good.

try metalcast paint on chrome next time, it lets the chrome shine through yet still gives the color you choose.
