Default Now What? -or- New tail light mod *almost finished - pg.3*
EDIT (again)-

I think I've got a plan now. Most of the chrome will be sanded off and resprayed with FM. I'll be leaving the chrome inside of the circular part of the brake light, reverse light, and the recessed area of the turn signal. I'm going to use a red spray tint on the clear piece that goes over the brake light area and the turn signal (maybe regular VHT, haven't decided). The red lens part will be swapped with a clear lens (maybe smoked, I'm not sure yet) from a set of TYCs or other aftermarket tail light.

Thoughts, comments or ideas?





EDIT-

I think I know what I want to do now. If you're interested in helpin' me out, look here:

Yep. Wasn't too tough either.

Now, I'm just lookin' to see if anyone has an idea about paint/tint that I haven't thought about.
