I'd rather not cut that much off, I was planning on cutting out just a section, think that'd work?

One tail is almost completely done, all lensing is out that I want out. Need the adhesive to dry and hold, I just need to cut open my other one and pull out the clear lens. My Dremel tool ran out of juice as I was cutting the second one. I'll finish that tonight.

Got my cleared tails on, and took a couple pics of my car with my gf's car. They both need a good bath.

man its weird seeing my old car sitting in someone elses driveway lol.

im not fond of what your doing man. id just stick with tinting them . the grand prix has the most ugly tail lights known to the planet which is why i just tinted them when i had the GTP because they were just hideous.

I like the cleared look. I had my tails tinted on my last GP, didn't want it again on this one, it didn't go along with the silver and red theme. Plus I have my stock ones on hand anyways if I decide I don't like them. And no I didn't get all of the red out from around the reverse lens. But I was able to get it to match between the two of them.

So the bulbs I got are pretty much orange....besides switching to LEDs (which I might) what would people suggest?

I was thinking about getting those red silicone bulb covers, to maybe get a more red tint.

I picked up some Red LEDs for my taillights now, but I now need to pick up load equalizers to stop the fast tick...I'll do that later.
