I done this a long time ago with black paint. I think it was August of 2005 when I done it. Mine lights up 'WS6' I love the one of the Bird, that is great.

A little harder to see, but I can still tell it's a bird
where did you get the decal to mask it?

you might want to try hobby lobby they have alot of different sizes and style also look at wal mart that would be the cheapest. i did flames on mine and i just used a sticker that had flames on the top and bottom of ford emblem.

that seems a little tedious. If you spray your coats of black very lightly the light will shine through the black just not as bright as the open/exposed area of the lens. Plus paint is a lot easier to work with than VHT nightshades. You can also paint the light the same color as your car so it blends in, I just used black because it matches the color scheme of my car.

i dont think any other color would look good on mine except white. wont it look bad if its not a perfect match? id want LT4 on the back of mine. or a clear lense to go with my clear corners.
