Default 2011 tails with red vinyl
Nothing fantastic, got this kit from motogfx.com. Just wanted to see how it looks, if I get tired of it I can always pull it off. I wish the clear didnt have a pink tint to it. I think the "swoosh" would look good with a light smoke vinyl..anyways pics....

I like it! I do agree with you regarding the pink on the reverse light. I think it would look better if it is slightly tinted darker tho..

I was always wondering how it'd look! Your photos are helpful.

I wish it didn't have a pinkish color to it either but I can live with it. I'd rather have the pink over amber if I was not going to do red-outs.

A light smoke might look good which you mentioned.

How about light smoke on the signals? I think it might lose a bit of the pink.

I think both would look good. I might try the swoosh in smoke considering its easier to cover. The signals were pre-cut and wasnt hard but I bet it would be if you had to cover and trim it out of 1 piece.

I think the '11 tails look much better untouched with the clear corners. I don't mind that it has a pink tint to it. I heard somewhere that pink is the new black.

Good thing is if I get tired of it I can just peel it all off. I just wanted to try it out, and post pics in case anybody wanted to see.
