it looks good blacklancer.. i like how it came out in the first pic though.. that one was hot. maybe u should try spraying a clearcoat over it? it might give it some more shine.

The first pic is just with the lights lit up (pressing the brake), the second is with them off.

^ ahhh.. makes more sense now .. i thought it was just a lighter shade of tint on that part and then faded to black when it came to the reverse lights. looks hot nonetheless..

Agreed...I think clearcoat would do the trick. My only concern would be mixing an enamel based clear w/ something that wasn't enamel. Could lead to lifting, bubbling, etc. If nite shades is an enamel, I'd say do it up!

Nice work to both of you guys though...I may have to follow suit w/ my black Lancer.
