Transparent vinyl ftw!

Hey all this is my first post here thought id share some pics of my project over the holiday. I know alot of people on here have redded out their turn signals but I didn't see any go this route. FYI it looks 100% factory in person the pics throw it off a little. Enjoy... BTW I know that tip needs adjustment badly that'll be fixed soon...

Looks good! I just painted mine today actually, haha! I didn't even think of vinyl, I just used the transparent red spray paint and some clear.

Looks great! I love subtle changes that most people won't really notice, but contribute to the overall good look of the car.

Very nice! Is it as simple as cutting out the appropriate shape and applying it over the amber section?

Wow that's a nice subtle change. I would have never thought of using vinyl but it looks good

Nice. How would you compare the finish or shine of the vinyl to the rest of the tail light? I did this mod months ago, but I did not like the end result because the vinyl looked more dull than the rest of the tail light. From the pictures it seems pretty glossy..

looks good, and a nice substitute to using the translucent paints to do it.
