Wow, the tails look super clean! I was thinking about doing red outs like that or painting just the silver housings black. I think you have made my decision. Where did you get those tails? Are those overlays or the silver housings painted red? Thanks for the pics!

The trunk setup is the same as any other IS trunk setup. Unless Im missing something, that I cant tell. Since it dark. I do see that you have a bright bulb in the trunk

Nice behind

You guys crack me up. Ive seen many IS on another forum, that has this done.
It depends on the color of the car, that it looks good on. But to each their own.

Yeah, I think that set up with those tails looks good on white and silver. I think that's why I am going to go this route. IS3, where are you searching on this forum? I had no luck finding pics with this kind of tails, only photo shop pics. Could you post me some links??

Thanks
When I bought the car it didn't come with the 3rd brake light. I donno why but I am in the process of getting it back one thing at a time lol. Yeah that trunk light is pretty bright haha. I will try to get better pictures when I can. Only took pictures that day because I washed it haha.. I waxed her yesterday so I will get more pictures of it all soon. If your wondering what light that is IS3 FTW I got it from walmart lol.

I am still working on the butt of her. Need to put the black chrome emblems on and a CF rear lip and a couple more things so it can go more with the front

One of the first things that I did when I got mine was put the Black Pearl Emblems on the back as well as the matching Black Pearl Plate Frame
