I actually did not want to go to the edges, I thought I might look a little cleaner with the red lip still showing. It might be on the dark side but I can't take any of the paint off now, and I wanted to make them look as symetrical color wise as I could. so one spot was really dark, so I had to do the rest that way. I'm hoping it will have a nice contrast with the blackhousings once I get them in there. Like I said before at least its not pink anymore, and I eventually plan on getting red/clears. In the mean time I like the look a lot better than pink. by spring I'll have some red/clears, but who knows once I get the blackhousing headlights I might decided to stick with the dark/reds, it is different and I don't think it qualifies as rice. we'll see.

Looks good Skabone. Not going all the way to the edge kinda makes it look cleaner, more factory.

so I threw on a couple of clear coats to the tails today, and the tint lightened up a little bit. Looks better, I'll post up some pics tommorw to show the difference.
