They are the factory ones. He candies it with any color of your choice then uses clear coat. It's quite time consuming and a lot of work.

He has done several....if you are interested, please PM me or Nilo (xbboy) so I can get you his contact information.

Don't go out there and copy everyone else, have your own unique identity and ask for something original, Gary always has some tricks up his sleeves...

good luck man..like Ted said it's not as easy as it looks...and the lenses do turn dull after a couple of weeks. I tried to do it myself on my 4-runner before I sold it.

They do look like factory finish because not only does he color them, but he also puts a few layers of clear coat on there so they are completly smooth and will hold up to the elements. I have never seen such a perfect piece of crafstmanship. I would never consider buying any other tailights since these ones are so pristene and unique.

Wow, this is my 999th post... :D

What type of clear are you using? Make sure it has UV protection like automotive grade clear or it will still fade. Here is a picture of Gary's Hot Lava..

Ya, and if you ever get tired of the look and want to switch to smoke or vise versa, they can be removed . The Redouts have been quite popular lately .

Keep an eye on them, because i use to do that and it faded. Model paint isnt UV protected.
