Default LED Tail Opinions

My tails currently look like this...



IMO they look like crap due to the chrome portion sticking out unevenly.
Now I need to solve this somehow...I don't really want to black out the tails from the white portion down because I don't want another reason for cops to pull me over, and I like the deep red look of the tails.

I also don't want to extend the white piece down to cover the chrome piece because I want it to flow with the body line.

So that leaves me with this option that I did a photoshop of...





What's your guys opinions of it? I'm also planning on getting a fully lit tbl soon and I don't know if I should get dark smoke or red.....

Let me know what you guys think and if you have some ideas for me to solve this little problem.

When i first glanced at the photoshopped one, it kinda resembled a BMW. Looks nice, good luck with that.

From a cops POV though, I bet he would go after a vinyl versus something like VHT. You eliminated the reverse light so that will get 'em real mad.

The light still shines through the vinyl pretty well though...and it's just a reverse light. I kinda figured a cop wouldn't care too much about that...maybe i'm wrong though.

If a cop is following you during the day or you get pulled over for something, he will tell you to rip it off.
