I'm trying to get an idea for this week end's project, i was wondering if you guys could help me out. As you can see, i want the middle tails to be painted the same colour as my wicked white, but i didnt do a very good job, i just used it as an example.

I think the brake lights are on the outside sections (?) but what would you do about your reverse lights?

looks terrible IMO and im sure the insurance would love a rear end claim with lights like that

Ricer Style.... with just pin stripes of lines across lens... Keeps it sort of legal

That looks loads better, if it was a semi transparent film it could work out really nice

You can get Transparent white vinyl. You can't see through it untill the lights come on.
I can order some for you if you like

Maybe you could experiment with different types of red vinyl or red carbon vinyl (forms like these) ...

Or you could blockout all of the area on the lights that do not iluminate just like what I have done.

You would have to apply black then white over the top to blockout all of the light.

Luke, do you have vinyl that would match Effect Grey?

If so, what are the sizes and costs?

Cheers
