The lens cover is not too pink for your liking?

I'm gonna hold off on this project until it gets warm again... but I found my Dremel. I liked the way xPRimNT's light coat of NiteShades turned out so I'll go that route to do away with some of the pink look.

Your paint scheme makes me want to play darts on your tails though

Fantastic job. That looks great. I didn't think I would want to mess with my lights but your picture is making me think otherwise.

Yeah, I bought 2 can of nightshades and was ready to use it. However, when i put everything together, I feel it look better in this way. Everyone have their own taste
BTW I used nightshade in my 350z tail and scion tc head and tail before.
