alright so i'm a broke college student still trying to upgrade my car lol... i used the plasti dip method, but i free hand sketched these and cut them out, measuring the lines from the lines on a college ruled paper. this was extremely difficult to do but i think it was worth it. i wanted to try something different so i made the holes a little bit bigger, since 2 weeks ago i got pulled over for having tint on my tail lights, i wanted to be sure i wouldnt get any more crap from the police. heres before during and after, any questions let me know i can try to help. really i just posted in here for all of you guys opinions. thanks.

the last time I saw this done it looked pretty cool at night and when they were lit up, but they looked really .. odd.. during the day / not lit up.

any shot of that?

looks good in that shot, though.

Pretty ingenuitive. That's one of the few things I envy on the newer mustangs...

yeah i agree, during the day it looks kinda off. so what i do is turn my headlights on everytime i drive. heres 2 pics of before and after the lights are on during the day.

& mighted its just stenciling the design you want, taping off everything else and applying coat after coat. heres a pic while i was in the middle of it all.

Hey great job. How many layers did you use? I tryed this once but the light was still showing through the black parts of the light.

What if you tint them alittle. It would tone down the daytime look.

i used 10+ layers, but did the spray from far away. the coats took absolutely forever to start darkening the tail lights, at first i wasnt sure i got the right can lol.

rolling- thats a good idea but the whole reason i pulled off my tint in the first place was because cops said tint was illegal around texas A&M. im trying to get by with these, hopefully they won't know enough about them to recognize its custom lol

The chrome trim IMO does not help at all.
