VHT is pretty good but I think it looks better with the inside of the light painted black.

^^^ Looks good! A friend of mine that worked at a body shop painted mine:



This is with the lights off during the day. They are completely transparent and I have no problems with police. So if you want something like that you can go to a body shop and just have them paint them. This is a mix of black with a slight tint of blue (not noticeable). The only thing I don't like about them, and this is nit picky, is they look somewhat weird at night. Its hard to explain, but i'll try to get pics later.

That's what I want on my TB MR. I just don't know 100% if I would like to do it yet.

i remember when you wanted me to call you, i had also sent you my number to call me and didn't hear from ya so i figured you weren't interested. who knows sometimes the pm's get mixed in and the universal response with pricing and stuff gets sent back more then once.

EVODAVE is the man and when the time comes to get mine paint (this summer hopefully) i can vouche for seeing a $h!t load of tails painted. i can vouche for him for purchases as well i bought my Siebon Hood off of him in October. You the man EVODAVE don't let the haters bother you.

i had a local shop tint my 8 tails day, RED. looks like 7 tails now with the blinker cut out too. $50, cheap alternative until i either can get JDM tails or have time to let EvoDave work his magic.
