I got my SECOND comment on the (Bad)Black taillights today (the first was my wife who said "people are gonna think you're Asian"):

"Wow, that looks like a Mercedes inside!"
(me) "It is a Mercedes inside, and outside."
"Oh, I thought it was an Acura."

Hmm, seems to be an opinion pattern forming.
Easier to look at without the bow; it was crooked anyway.
Now I'm thinkin' .... licorice gummy bear. Yeah, that's it!

Oh man, I was just kidding! If people can see your brake lights in the daytime, I mean, if you're comfortable that people behind you will see that you're stopping... Personally, I want the brightest lights I can get.

Chrome strip looks fine. But then, I wonder what the rear would look like without that line of demarcation. When I think I might want to black something, I stick electrical tape over it first. Or Photoshop.

I will take some pics tomorrow night..... I had it for while and the police didn't stop me the light is maybe 50 % less than the original condition. But it looks really good and if I decide to remove its a 2 mins job. You guys just try it it takes 30 mins for both and 6 or 7bucks in walmart. Don't be pussjk
