Ok, I got a photoshop request for anyone that has the skills to do so. Photoshop the close up picture of my taillights in a Black Sand Pearl color or one of the red colors that Scion offers on the tC but with some flake in there. I was driving around today and see tons of tinted tails, overlays, VHT painted tails. I'm hoping to go for a metal flake tinted tail...I know puddlestc did it to his and they came out nice. I Want to be different and set apart from the crowd...but not too far apart where cops will go after me. The metal flake in our cars paint is nice, personally I think that a lightly flaked taillight would compliment the car, instead of black or glossy black.

I won't go as dark as this, definitely lighter (depending on color).

Did them in BSP. Lasted that way for about 2 days, until a cop pulled me over and gave me a "warning".

That sucks. What was his explanation of why your tails are illegal?
(I know why, just want to hear what the cop said. )
Maybe you should have done them red? j/k
