I actually like that a lot. So you cut the vinyl yourself, or did you order a 1/4" strip of black pinstripe to do it? To be honest I think I might have to do this to my tail lights. Again it looks pretty phenomenal.

Very nice. Do you think this would look good on a black LS? I'm not sure if it would pop as much like it does on your silver LS.

Also, what exhaust setup are you running?

Funny to see this being done. I used to have Mercedes guys come by to get this done for their tail lights, to replicate the brabus style tail lights that were available for the C class cars back in the day.

Could we see a more zoomed out picture of it to see how it looks like as a whole?

Nice, probably not something I would do but it looks clean on yours. What exhaust tips are those?

Just got it done today. Looks verrry slightly changed. Very hard to tell on a black car but I like it better personally. Was it worth $7? Sort of...

Did you just order some 1/4" pinstripe?

edited to add pics in better lighting

I finally had time to wrap the headlights and tail lights today. If the tape is durable enough this is a great mod. The front is hardly noticeable really. I think you started something, Rex!

Can’t even be noticed from side (zoom in to front/rear)
