I don't really like it...Looks like someone painted your taillights with white-out...

There is a noticable difference between just the tape and the actual lids.. check out JunctionGS's car, it has the upper lid installed and imo it doesn't look to bad, I don't think I would actually put it on my car but wouldn't have bad comments about it either..

I dunno, seems like something is missing, maybe make the top one just a hair bigger and then post pics from a little farther away?

i know, it is kinda unprofessional with tape because it look so thin. Will see how it turn out with fiberglass and of course the lids will be thicker. i don't know but will see

Looks kind of like overspray?
I think your on the right track, keep working with it. You'll come up with something that works for you.
Have fun it's your car to do with as you please.
