I found this larger picture where his pic are. Looks nice but I'd like to see one from the back and not at an angle. Not sure why I can't post the pic, might be where they are stored won't allow hot linking like that.

Larger pic

Looks alright, but still not a fan of the fact that you can still see the outline of the stock lights.

You can definately tell it's custom. It would look great other than the fact that you can still see the stock body line on top of the tail lights.

It honestly looks great, I just don't think it flows quite as well with the body lines.

Sounds like you have some fans here though. As long as you like it, that's all that matters.

looks nice and great idea, I would like to see the housing (stock looking fixtures) glassed into the body and maybe shaved a bit down so maybe they dont look like tail lights ???? What do you think???? Great job btw
