Nice, they look just like mine now, only I coated over the reverse lights as well. I painted those ridges in the tail lights with DSG and it came out really good. If you're looking to make them stand out a little bit more, it's cheap and easy.

Thanks. The light guards are cool too, this was just more subtle... oh, and cheaper too - which is most likely what led me to do that.

i was looking at those. they are like $120 for a pair, insane. just buy a little torch and some brazing rod and make them haha. it'd be cheaper, then TRULY one of a kind

looks good though! tinted tails belong on a DSG. nice work. and i dnt think i have ever seen you wear pants...haha a true canadian :P
