the problem to me is that the designs just doesnt fit well with the lights or the car. i think it would look okay if you vht'd the entire thing now, that way you can still have the design show through, but they will have the look of blackouts. im getting ready to do something like that with a set of lights i have laying around for my camaro.

but i am curious to know how you did the outlines to get such perfect circles?

Default yea good opinions

yea my dad hates them too..... i just got tired of having huge honeycomb lights to me they look like huge bloodclots on the back of the car. even the new camaro has circle lights. but once i had it done it just didn't fit the car. the circle lights are for a more modest rear end not the bulky end of the TA. i did those last week and actually stripped all of it off today but having problem getting the very first coat of clearcoat off of them. any ideas??

i bought some 15mm foam in the arts section of walmart and used a compass to draw a 4" circle then cut it out and used double sided tape to hold the circles to the taillight then painted.
