I recently redid my taillights with the nightshade can I bought because the overlays came out bad. However I did use the brake and reverse overlay cut outs to help me. This is the result.

Looks real good with the red coupe, I was planning on doing this same design so I could stay out of trouble with the coppers but I thought it would look awkward on a black coupe

Hmmm yeah idk about that. I think you're better off with just getting them fully covered and hope for the best lol Or you can just use less coating like maybe 1 or 2 coats

why do u guys think it won;t look good on a black coupe. I kinda like it and think it would look good. I'm kinda holding out for LED tails in another style besides starburst

Is it me, or are the brake cutouts a little too far apart (meaning too close to the outside of the car) it looks like its eyes are too far apart lol!

Damn bro you're just hating on everything I post up aren't you?The reason is cuz I took the picture on an angle and it looks like that, but if you actually see it in person it looks amazing.
