    Looks really nice. But did you clear & wax? Look a bit "foggy" to me. And, does the light show up through?

    I have this insane plan for mine. Requires a new car, white. Lawl.
    I don't want to tint them light, seems silly, but I don't want to tint them pitch black on a black car.
    I want a white car, take my current tails, tint em black as my heart, I mean, black as... black? Then put led's in there. Mainly so they can be pitch black but show light through pretty well.

    Now you have LED tails. My question, are they smooth, like altezzas? Or rigged like stockers?

    yeah a little over but whatever cant really do anything now. havent really done a good wax and buff just touched them up a bit right after they were done

    uh idk how they look in the day from behind, had a buddy drive down the street and they seemed dim but still visible thou the sun wasnt on them. got some leds comen thurs hopefully. well see if they work better if not ill have to jig rig something else, like 90% of the car ha.

    ill take day and night pics pry when the leds come in
