Opinion's needed on my Dinan E30 (no 56k)
 
I seriously can not decide wtf I want to do with my taillights. I have a major problem with anything amber on cars, I don't know why, I just do. So I did the red-tail painting method (sorry, don't have any pics) and that method annoys me because of the difference in the texture on the light. I'm anal so that's why that method is out. So since I recently blacked out all of my signal's, I thought I should do the same with my tails :dunno Here are the pics... the produce came out very good, it's nice and smooth and shiney too :D Anyways I want to hear your opinion's on what I should do. My "theme" for this car is to have it black/white/little chrome yet very clean. I don't want to change too much visually. Also, I put in the pics of what the blacked out lenses look like when lit up as some had requested.

Dude. WTF :wtf Some of the biggest problem in signals in tails is the same color as the brake lights! :doh What the hell are you doing? All the lights are already too dark! Umm Hello! What the hell is so great about black out tails? Do you wanna have a traffic wreck? This makes NO sense! Why not black out the fogs while you're at it? :dunno

Actually, the turning signals on the tails are amber. in the pics they look more of a red though. And that's why I asked... I'm trying different stuff for the tails lol. It's all reversable. Calm down White jesus lol

Yeah I'm going to change them again this weekend. Not sure to what, but I'm going to do it. I might just splurge and buy OEM red tails... and my old Dinan badge was messed up so I took it off. I'm going to order a new one.

you can just sand them off.. i dont know e30s too well, but like there is for the e36, if there is an orange part make it clear and keep the rest red
