Why are the 7 tail lights so popular? In contrast I think they are the most commonly sold EVO tail light in this country. You should all sell your lights to Japan!

I think this method of getting the look is spot on though. No reason to spend that much money.

I don't know why your vinyl made the tails look so cloudy. They look exactly like the VHT spray tint.

I bought this vinyl from ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/130895183538?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
If done on the 8 chrome tails like mine it perfectly matches the bright red of the JDM tails. I have yet to cut out the signal lines and i had a couple bubbles here an there but overall well worth it for $10 for both tails

They look good. Idk maybe the vinyl had a different shade to it. Lol I got rid of the vinly then sprayed them with the lines too. They looked dead on evo 7's until started to fade away. So eventually I picked up some originals lol. Which everyone will on this thread soon or later.

Be honest, I think I left the vinyl on there for few months and it was good no fade or nothing. Then I had sprayed the lights with the evo 7 lines this time. Which came out really nice until they started to fade. After that I just got tired of it and picked up the real evo 7's.


When the lights were sprayed.



With the originals
