i used tint for mine instead of spray and i also cut straight lines on the turn signals with a razor blade and it came out nice, only thing is its just a LITTLE bit darker than the OEM evo 7 lights that my buddy has. we park next to eachother and you can tell but making these reps only for me $80 with tint and lights so im not complaining lol

No offense but this is a quick way to do evo 7 replicas without taking your lights off of the car in case your running late to work or before a date you want evo 7 tails before you pick her up etc... lol

What clear coat did you use? The two part automotive clear with the hardener? Looks great I will most likely go this route.

I just did mine a couple days ago. They don't look bad but they look a bit cloudy when the brake lights come on

I painted mine with VHT Niteshades red....turned out better than i coulda hoped just fliped the bulb sockets for reverse and turn signals and away you go.....so much better than those cheesy stock tail lights
