how do you like these tails?

how do you like 'em? they're only slightly different than the evodave's, i leave a lil more signal light in there, the close up pics may elucidate what i mean by this.

i can also do various amber and smoke themes on the signals... i don't have a dark colored car so i wasn't about to lightly smoke the signals but i do think that a red with a light smoked signal on a dark car would look very nice. the amber is much harder to make a call on.... not sure if it'd just look werid on an evo.

originally i planned on doing a reverse light cut out but on further inspection i was sad to realize that the reverse light is too far recessed... leaving a clear section will make for awkward viewing into the housing at different angles that aren't head on.

however a solution is lightly coating the reverse cut out so there is a more of less uniform coverage of color but the reverse light still comes out white. at current the reverse light is tinted just like the evo vii and i'm assuming the evodave setups.

i have all the necessary stuff to make the cut outs... just wondering who would actually want that.

Thats pretty good, but the pics are dark for some reason. Brighten them up a little.
