Yeah, why didnt you take those tail lights off the car? Its easy to take them off in less than 2 minutes. Anyway, nice job on those. Now your car looks JDM.

it's easier for me just to paint them while they are still on the car because it dries easier and if i take them off, it will be hard to installed them back on because i have to let it dried for 4 hours.i don't want to touch the painted area. My wife helped me taped everything together and i want to thank her for that.

Would it also work if you pain it inside?

Take the tail lights apart, paint it inside and seal it again using silione?

Would that work also?

yea it would work also, but it's kinda risky if u don't know wutt u are doing and it will take all day.
This mod only took me a few hrs and 18 bux.
My friend also did this on his 93 civic hatchback 4yrs ago and the paint still look good. make sure u wash ur car at least once every 2 weeks with a good car wash soap such as THE KIT, meguairs, mothers. avoid turtle wax and armoral, especially dish wahser soaps. that's it for now. thanx for all the replies guys.
