i lifted this from the Aussie Drag Pics... How is this any different?...  :shruggy: Looks great BTW!  :2thumbs:

It's kind of nit picky but there are a couple of differences. You can tell from the pic you posted that light can shine through the top and bottom of the lenses due to the white paint only being a pin stripe.  I blacked it all the way around so the light will only be visible from the face of the lense.  Also, the white pin stripes are VERY thin, the black portion I painted is much thicker and comes closer to the middle leaving less visible light on the surface as well.  It's just the little things that will make mine different  :icon_smile_big:

Also, if you look at the pic.  I am cutting the tab off the left side where the lens will cover the lights, so light will be able to go to the very edge of the lense and not be filtered only in the center portion...  if that wording made sense.  (you can see how the light abruptly stops before it gets to the edge of the lens on the left tail light from the pic you posted)

I follow and I'm anxious (ok, maybe too strong a word  :smilielol: ) to see the finished result...  :icon_smile_wink:

I know, It's one of those subtle aspects that you'll spend time on and most likely no one will even notice when it's on the car...

Maybe get a "neat-o" at best  :lol:
