hmm, I wonder if this will be on the failblog?! haha JK!
it's unique, but I rather have it murdered out than the chrome trims.

Agree with other members, would look better without the chrome trim. Now it reminds me a bit of the Spiderman villain 'Venom' for some reason.

Only thing that matters is that you like it though

It'll definitely look better without the chrome around the tail lights. Those tail lights look waaaay too dark to be safe, not to mention legal.

definitely unique! it's all personal preference. you got some guts tinting it really dark, but it looks fantastic, even with the chrome trim. it goes nicely with the debadging and leaving the central "L" as the focal point. pretty neat!

I'm gonna have to agree with everyone else not a fan of the chrome trimming on the taillights, but you did a good job blacking out the tails
