hahaha thats exactly what i did to mine!

i'm pretty sure we have the exact same looking car.

yep, took em off 2 at a time, sanded the center taped off the lip, primed em with self etching primer to fill the cracks, then a few good coats of gloss black engine enamel. damn right.

OP, i think your best choice would be buying a set of LED tails and painting them or something. Building your own sounds like way too much hassle.

yeah it would be a lot easier lol.

but i think it would be fun for a project, and if i did do it, very rewarding, knowing that i was the only one with those tail lights.

i have a lot of patience when it comes to projects that i want to do.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

I personally wouldn't be able to handle it. I think the biggest hassle would be installing the plastic piece as our tail lights curve. I can't imagine the hassle trying to make the plastic fit and then sticking them on to the housings.

You don't get the full "Airguard Experience" until you hear the car and see it up close.

This is actually the nicest part.
