yeah i thought about the reverse light after the fact, but there was no defined line for me to follow to make both sides match regardless. but it looks sexy w/ the red in the reverse lights (tested before i cleared it)

the spray... tamiya paints, translucent red and the smoke.

i originally had the testors candy apple transparent and their smoke but i went to get it buffed and they ****ed it up with the rotary. ******. so i had to redo it but the original store w/ testors was closed. i liked what i saw with the testors, too bad it got messed up.

Default Why?????

With all the different tailights on the market, why would you do such a thing! Others may not tell you this but, I think this takes away from the look of your car and any others! I understand that money can be hard to come by for some of us, but I wouldn't even attempt this modification to a GS! It looks like something you would see on a beater car! No hating, just being honest with you!

its not really a money issue, just thought it would be cool, and i hate orange turn signals. and the red w/clear turn signals doesnt suit me becuase the clear strip is too thick, hence my solution. we shall see how it looks on the car before i give it my own thumbs up or thumbs down. but you are entitled to ur opinion. i was ready for the hate before i did it.

btw if it comes down to it, it is reversible unlike what people say when spraying tails... some nice nail polish remover does the trick
