I just pulled that Departure exhaust off my car. Maybe I'll keep it after all fyi, it's extremely quiet on a GTE.

i use this brand spray paint. the whole lens is sprayed so it blends, with a heavier layer on the orange turn signal.

Kohinoor, those tails are going to look good, can't wait to see the end! I may just sell off the 95s I'm picking up, and re-do my OEM similiar to yours...You sir-are my hero!

Whoa. Definitely do a write up on that! Since you have chrome on other parts of your SC, I'd say leave the chrome on this set. Has more of a "Luxury" Sport Coupe appearance.

I realize the upper tail in the pic might just be a new one which is why the reverse lens is so white, but do you know if the yellowed ones can polish up as nicely? Thanks

I say no chrome, thats the only small thing I don't really like on the 97 tails. That looks good though.

uv discolors the plastic, so its impossible to polish/sand off. if you want white reverse lenses, you need brand new tail lights

You could cast some new plastic reverse replacement pieces, and modify the design to delete that little black line and the crease in the process.
