it is pretty cool... shame the rest of you guys are blind... You remind me of the movie "mall rats" with the one guy who could never see the image in the scrambled picture but everybody else could

all that is in the picture is a cardboard cutout. It was just to show what I am trying to do. I just bought some vinyl today and am in the process of figuring out the best way to do this. I don't want to take the entire lens off, but I'm thinking that I might have to.

For those of you that can't tell I am covering up the silver part of the taillight lens. The turn signal will be red with the shark flashing orange. I also changed the reverse light to a circle because I think it looks better.

I am not really going to patent this idea, I just didn't want everyone on these boards to go out and copy my tails before even I get them finished.

REDZ, those are stock tails not euro........see the three bars going across the brake/tailight portion?? It looks like he just covered part of the reverse lamp.

Thor they look good. But i do think the shark should have been pointed the other way.

Those aren't stock tails man, they are chrome euro tails. Look at the side section where the side reflector is supposed to be. Hell, look at the shape and design of the lenses inside. Euro. Now you ARE high.

LOL

I still see no shark. Get a bigger CLEAR picture and do it man. I see the regular RED LENS and a red crecent around it.
