Default Smoking the top part of taillight

I snapped a couple of pics my car and then painted over it with MS Paint just to see what it would look like. What do you guys think??
**I had a Civic previously and have done this before, except I did the whole taillight on the Civic*

Before


After


Side by Side


Of course I won't make it that dark. Looks good in my opinion.
I've seen people do this with over lays but I'm real skeptikal about those things.

imo it looks a little weird... i think overlays on TYC tails would look good though.

Like I said I don't like overlays, had a bad experience with them, they're a pain in the butt when u wash ur car and bubbles and poop. I know how to smoke taillights real well on the other hand.
I have no clue why the license pl8 was blocked and the other wasn't, I must have been in a hurry or something. It sure looks weird.
