You guys are so harsh lol. It looks decent. But yeah 95+ or 97+ will be better to go.

actually after the tint i would much rather keep that tail then go to 95-97. it looks sleek this way those have all different colors and outlines. think about it all red and a little break for the reverse. Love it. cant figure out how to do it though

spoke to a car paint guy said paint will either coat to hard or peel later.

It came out pretty well, I would red out those tail if they came on my car too.

A couple of years ago i used red-out vinyl to tint the lower portion of my 96 tails. Has come out great IMO and has held up wonderfully. The nice thing about vinyl is that you can always peel it off if you don't like it

it doesn't look awful, it might just be my ocd but the reds aren't the same color...
kinda irritating if you are nick picky like me...
but it looks better than the originals
