Default Candied tail lights...

I like the look of the candy tails... I dont like the altezza's at all like most but the 03+ tails are clean and simple... how/where did you get your's done? is there a kit from dupli-color to do it yourself? any info?

you can get stuff called nite shades. it comes in a spray can. works well, but u have to prep it good. I did it to my third brake light. i have pics of it if you would like to see it.

That will tint/smoke the lights.

Like mentioned in the write up, testors candy apple red paint is what you need to use. If you have carbon fiber/black euros now, candy those. SmokinRice did that to his and they are the best candy tails I have seen. I will see if I can dig up a pic
