Just as the title describes i decided to do something else other than the normal gtr style overlays. Mainly because I couldnt get the circles to line up. So said f**k it and painted them. They are not shiny yet as the clear coat needs to "cure" from what my tint guy said. We'll see, but I like this look much better than just the clear lens with white sealent. Notice I left the side marker red as well. Hope you guys like. As I said the paint is not yet shiny, theguy told me to give it a few days and come back if it doesnt start to shine.

Sorry for the cell phone pic. Still cant find my camera

Yea actually he just used the cutouts from the GTR overlays and covered them.

Sorry it took so long. The tint never did shine but it still looks pretty good TO ME. I'm sure some people wont like the look, but to each their own.
