Cool. Im really intrested in seeing someone do them black.
I'll be smokin my third brake light to match my 03's. Looks good.
Outside. I didnt know the black plastic piece on the inside came out.
so you tinted it outside? what about scratching?

Do you mean how did i prep it or what if it gets scratched?
When this fades off i will have to do the inside. I am doing my tails next. Inside or outside on those?
Looks good man...I like that idea
Looks good. :waytogo: I've wanted to get rid of the amber in my tails for a while now. What kind of light output did you lose when you painted them?
they have a kit or somthing for doing your taillights at wal-mart i think.

I didnt lose much at all. But i only did about 3 coats of candy apple red. It all depends on how many coats/how dark you want them.
I still want to see dark black tinted tails....
I like Badass's Trenz billet cover. You still have that on your truck Badass?
I hate my Trenz 3rd light cover, I'm taking it off soon and just shaving the damn thing, the chrome has faded and pitted
I'm not a fan of the covers either. I think the third brake lights look better candied or smoked.

The trenz b/l isn't a cover, it is a full replacement that sits flush with the bodyline.
:word: I got mine for X-mas...I'm still torn...not sure if I like it because I don't have a whole lot o billet on the outside ...but it's growing on me.

Is it possible to have it painted?

I've been wondering what one would look like colormatched since it fits the bodyline so well...
I thought it was a cover. I've never seen these I guess. Does anyone have any pictures?
I am workign on getting my 3rd brake light, and my euro tails tinted. black oh yeah I think it will look good. Then maybe I will get my stock lights tinted black as well just to see what they look like.
Make sure to post pics!
