Looks a bit to dark to me. Wait until the guy behind you cant see your brake lights and plows into your ***.

yea, even though you still have the 3rd brake light, it could make for a convincing argument.

The nice thing about where I live, is it is a tiny island, there are no freeway's there is only one highway in the city. barely any cars on it, if I see a car behind me at night, just change lanes, or tap the brakes to notify the party behind me

way too dark. it's so dark that it makes the SHAPE of the lights look bad. i love the 8's lights, and i want to smoke mine too, but party of the appeal is all the design and detail inside ... with it that dark you just see a weird shaped hump in the middle and it looks off...

how did you do it? film or spray?

They were sprayed, then cured with heat, then wet sanded, colour sanded, compounded, and polished
