    I've always liked the look of my fellow compatriot and GT club member bino's old genII. Inspired by what he did, I modded mine in my own little way.

    Now instead of putting tinted film to the tail lights, I actually decided to have it spray tinted by experts so that I don't mess it up. I have spare stock tail lights anyway in the garage in case I need to bring them back to the stock look.

    Looks really nice. It's one of the near future mods I want to do.
    I bought the film, hope mine turns out as well as your looks!

    it used to be the clear lights were the aftermarket, now the aftermarket makes dyes to colour clear stock lights, I'd like to have mine bodycolour or a slight hint, and the car is not amber nor red, I also considered something simmilar with the headlights they have a hint of blue allready, wouldnt mind making it more obvious, yet if there would be a way to do all that while not pissing off the law.
