I love the look and it seems the Sonata tails really lend themselves to being nightshaded. I like that you left the reverse lights clear. It really brings out the red horizontal lines that are there and makes them look custom. After seeing yours there's no question that I would nightshade my tails if I had a Sonata. We're going to have my friend do up a set for our Tib, but I think I might swap to the 03-04 tails because the round reverse lights look pretty sexy if they're left unshaded.
