yah...its been done. I've also seen a few who have used red tints over their tails (except the reverse light)...looks nice.

The 01+ tails look clean and update your ride but if you are on a budget you could rock the red tint over the amber stripe (not the white reverse, as PHML said) and it is very hard to see that it's vinyl.
