Red Out Tails (96 Max)
just got done with this today! i think it looks alot better than stock, but i would still perfer red/clears. check out my page for the pics (to lazy). there is still one pic of stock lights because i was going to take one with my digital camera to replace it but it began to rain, so ill do it later. also i extended my tip, it is now even with the bumper(not so loud in the car anymore!).i also had them center it and lower it a bit, so it would not rub. you can also see that on my page. Tell me what ya think.

The only concern of mine is the reverse lights, I wanna do this too, but I don't want a ticket. Is there anyway that it is possible to install seperate reverse lights? Like near the License plate or something....???

Oh my gosh!!! That looks so sick! Great job man. That is an A+ on your color car and would be a C- on any other color. That looks really, really nice. Well done.
P.s. Now that your @$$ is all body color I would do something about the hamburger and keyhole.

Some cops might pull you over because they realize that all the lights in the rear are all red-- where's the bright light gonna come from?... Most cops probably wouldn't care because the probably wouldn't nice on the top of thier heads, but some can be complete ***wipes.

Since all the tails are red, the reverse lights shine through red as well. So what does all the people who have this mod do about having reverse lights that work.

The vinyl tape is easy to cut. You have an option of cutting out the tape on your reverse light(however you want to cut it). I've seen a Acura Legend red out his/hers tailights and cut out the word(LEGEND) on their reverse light. I guess it shines out white when it reverse cause I can see the factory white. And Miasma, sorry bro. I have not yet recieved your address. I'm still keeping my word for you bro. Send me your address again (I guess). Nice job with yor tails Rufus.

Even then, it's probably just a fixit ticket so I say it's worth a shot.

Good deal. I think I will now do this, since it looks so good. I just need to get this in Mass, which I doubt will happen.....

My tails are the same way, painted with stained glass paint from michaels, no tape here, it came out pretty dark so I dont need to put that smoke paint on it. It looks good with my dark colored car. The website to it is a couple of posts above, oh what the hell here it is, tell me what u guys think.

They are kind of like a pug. They are so damn ugly, you just have to love 'em.
