        A cleaner looking #2

        If you find a way to desaturate your stock tails then I guess you could do it.

          #2 , Its pretty easy to do just tape off everything that you don't want black and spray away, then smoke the rest to match. I've done about 4 sets in that style.

                yes, but I made that set super glossy and polished:), if you don't wet sand them or polish them they will look a little different.

                      I don't like any of those. I don't like all-red late model tails either, it's just too much red. Reminds me of a late 90's volvo or one of those horrible bug-eyed GM products.

                      MHW ftw..

                        4 is by far the best. but try and do one pic where the indicator is yellow the whole center section is dark and the rest is red. i saw it in another thread on a red car and it looked tits. ill try and find it.


                        edit:
                        here we go. i think it looks kinda cool. but i would leave the yellow section all yellow.

                              well, i guess this at least narrowed my choices a notch.. its down to #4 and #6(mhw's).. then again i have smoked smileys i dont know how all red tails gonna align with that. it might provide a little too much stance! what u think?
