Candy apple red would be the best colour to match up with the red thats on our tail lights? or maybe just re-paint over the red thats there to make it all match correctly.

i fucked up when i did mine, i painted the entire thing except the reverse. it became dull after awhile. i got some new ones now where the top is the only thing painted, and i like it better because even if it fades, the breaklight is still shiny haha

Slammedmini469 - if i was gunna spend the money to buy the clear lenses, i definitly would NOT paint them, considering there hard to find and pretty expensive when you do...Thats the purpose of having clear tails...to have them clear...lol
