KrazeMatik: That's exactly what I want to do with mine to get rid of the orange. What product did you use, how did you prep, and what did you use to get a smooth gloss finish and that opacity? My car is DPW so all black is out of the question. Any close up shots would be appreciated.

here is the product that i use! to prep it out its very simple.. use black ELECTRICAL tape and tape around the orange and the rest of the red, with the back of the tail light use news paper and tap it up so the only thing that is expose is the orange lens, clean the lens and start spraying! make sure you shoot one coat then LET IT DRY! the shot another coat, i didnt want to make it too dark, so its more of a smoke look to it..

I agree 110%!!! The 2 tone one that Kraze posted looks great too cause it goes with the darker color SC and the body kit.

Can you post a How-To on making it the right shape etc..
I'd like to do this; it looks really neat and as-if it belongs.
Is it really functional also like a diffuser would be, or just cosmetic?
