Ok, I see what your getting at now, and its not a bad idea..I'm just anti-altezza on anything but an ALTEZZA.
did you use adhesion promoter with the VTS, or scuff the lenses with steel wool?
I sanded them before the first coat and lightly wet sanded between coats. Topped it off with 2 coats of clear. Its been a while so i'm not sure what grit i used. I had used this method to redo the headlights on my Acura using just clear and it worked great. The tail lights looked good for abt 5 months and now they've lost some of their gloss and one of them got a gash from a shopping cart. i'd really like to buy some 97+ and smoke them but i wanna perfect my technique on these before i try that. The other problem with this is that the paint is very thin so its hard to get a nice even coat with no runs and its extremely difficult to match the tail lights.
Oh and i was mistaken earlier, its VHT NiteShades

I personally think they are not that bad but to each his own.
That looks great. Where did you find the black badges or did you paint them?
I have a 99 lexus sc400 and I wanna get the altezza round tail lights for it with the black housing. But everywhere I look they say 95 - 97, would those fit on my 99? What mods would I need to do to make them fit?
Thanks
they should fit, see if they are local and do a mock up on it just in case.... and shame on you guys he was just asking if they would fit, not your opinions on doing it.... all i can say is if you like it do it. who cares what other people think its your car .
Thanks for the replys. And no im not a ricer haha. Just like the round lights and my lex is black so it think it would look nice with the black lights.
I read that the taillights and some other things were redesigned for 98 and up so thats why im not sure if they will fit. Most of you said they "should" fit but have any of you tried it on a 98 and up? They are not that cheap and I didnt see them localy. I have to order them online so I'd like to know for sure if they will fit before I order.
Why thank you!!!!^^^ Redphoenix just took pics of my lights smoked tonight so as soon as he gets me the pics you guys can take a look at those and see what you think.
