What do you guys think of the idea? I haven't started them yet, and it's going to be a while. I'm changing the theme of my car while I still can. Sadly, I am departing from the Nightmare Before Christmas theme and I am leaning towards a theme that will kind of marry Goth style with luxury car sexiness. Either way, I'm drawing up how I want it to look. I'll post the sketches once I get done, if anyone is interested.

This could be interesting.
If the tails were multiple colors, like a Gothic cathedral, I think that could go either way - cool, or horrible. But I don't think the police would like that too well lol.
Different shades of orange/red might be cool too, if it is distinctly recognizable as stained glass, rather than just some screwed up tailights lol. Might not be so recognizable if it were just orange and red.
Stained glass with a symbol of some kind in the center might help. Can't wait to see how this turns out.

OK. Here you go. Hopefully, this will give you an idea of what I am planning on doing. I won't have any real pictures of the work until I can get enough money to buy the new altezzas, the glass, the solder, and blah blah blah. It shouldn't be hard, I just have to do some creative soldering. wink1.gif If this works out, I'm going after the corners next. Anyway, let me know what you all think of my pattern and remember that suggestions and comments are welcome. Thank you!
