That carbon looks different than the ones on eBay..gonna have to think about that. For the time being, with my minimal photoshop skills I did a comparision of the red and black. Any thoughts, inputs, comments, etc would be great. Keep in mind that the red ones have the LED's already lit up.

I like the black better, but what is the brown or red thing between the LED's and the license plate? It would look better without that thing in there.

there kinda like visors.i can't really explain it.but they don't light up though.mine are carbon fiber and i love them, the black one's look good.or just get the red one's and tint them.you'll have that batmobile effectLOL but it would look tight having it all black tinted and stepping on the brakes and all they see is red dots going across,that would look good,that was my first intentions with the one's i bought but they were too sexy to tint so i left them naked lol

That looks pretty cool. Can you replace the reverse halogen bulb with an LED? Maybe that will help.

Also, I've decided to go with the Red LED's and tint them since the black ones have that reflector sorta thing on the lights towards the license plate and it ruins the effect of the black IMO.

If I'm going to have someone tint the lights for me, what is the proper or best way? The shop I got my suspension from says they can do it for 125 and it involves sanding them, spraying them, then buffing them for the shine. I want it to have a nice gloss like like a regular tail light would have and I don't want any scratch or swirl marks to be visible.

I plan to do mine soon. I'm planning to remove the fixtures and wash them in soap and water. Then I'm going to wipe the lens with alcohol and tape what doesn't get tinted up. Next, spray them.

I'll have before and after pics when it's done.
