smoked tail lights and cleanedup stock diffuser

I plan on getting a new rear diffuser but I've blow a ton on performance upgrades in the last couple of months, shorty headers and 3" pipes to stock muffler going on next week, so for now cleaned up the rear diffuser and smoked the stock lamps, may smoke the 3rd brake light too, haven't decided yet, took about 30 minutes, I used the VHT night shades, I know some folks use film, I thought it came out great.

Great job, I think you inspired me to do the same. After just spending a small fortune rebuilding the motor plus various other things, I can't justify spending out on an E63 front (which will happen eventually) or a diffuser, but some paint and a few hours of alone time with the beast can be easily accommodated.
Actually the rear lights tint was on the mod list even before I bought my car.
