Here`s the result after tinting the enoying white backuplights and wraping the panel in the middle.

I like the tinted reverse lights but the CF panel looks out of place.

It looks out of place. Maybe put a red bird on in and wrap the CETA

Panel looks like crap, IMO. The tinted reverse lights aren't so bad, assuming you never put your car in reverse with people behind you.

I like the idea of the CF panel, just doesn't look right.

You need CETA mod.

this idea might work, the cf breaks up the uniformity of the tails which does look a bit off on a bird...i have fully tinted tails and the CETA bumper...looks sweet on a red car, which I have...

Filler looks out of place.

Funny thing with my Rev lights aren't hooked up since I did a t56 swap. I look at it this way, with the noise my TA makes people jump out of the way backing up or going forward!

I think the CF looks good in little areas. Lile the triangle peices by the windows or the t top metal molding. Where its subtle but noticable. When its in a big spot it kind of looks out of place unless it matches what is around it.
