Here's the finished product, not bad for an afternoon project to do on commercial breaks during football. The only thing i will in a few weeks when they dry 100% is bring them to and autobody shop and have them spray clear on them. Id like them to look factory.

I personally don't like the pin stripe reverse lights.

As far as I see it the two best options are to either:

1. Prep, mask, paint & clear the housing red (Red Out Method).

or

2. Seperate the housing from the rest of the tail light assembly and prep then paint the chrome portion black (Black Out Method - Evo 9 Replica's).

My question is what do you guys think would look better a flat black or a glossier black in the front? As long as it's not overkill in terms of glossiness I think it would look the best.

flat, or semi-gloss at THE MOST... that is how mine is on a Tarmac black Evo 8.... both look good flat.
