Cool New here but check out these taillights.

Got the idea obviously from CL but i think for 30 bucks the guy did a great job. Still has to cure for a bit for the final buff.

If you're going this route, you better do the reflectors ASAP!

yea im kinda scared of getting pulled over. Im in AZ and cops can be kinda dickish (no offense to any cops on here). Apparently law states that there has to be a red reflector visible from 500 feet I think.

The reflectors pop too much! A nice dark cherry for both tails and reflectors would flow nicely.

Btw, welcome to CL. Happy modding!

It's looks high profile such that it increases of being pulled over be the police.
