bro now that's more like it na nice 
if you don't mine a small sudgestion since you wanted all red's
to begin with (narrow the white a little bit more and tinted )jetta style,
now thats just an idea since you dont mine puting and taking of the lights but all n all they look good
by the way they look very profesional you must be a man with alot of
pasience wich i was like that

Thanks for the comments. Im not sure i will be painting these again anytime hotmax, lol. This was more painstaking than the first shot. But, the reason i did the clear part like i did was because the reverse light does not touch any part of the red. If i slimmed down the clear, you would start seeing red/white when i reverse, get what im
saying?
And MrEous, i kinda like the DTM too, but on darker cars. Ive seen it done to a sunlit sand max and it looked horrible. Its all about the color man. Sunlit sand is so hard to do **** externally to (AE headlights, altezzas, etc).

EDIT: BlueBOB just made my point...

i dig...i think if you used three or 4 slashes like these / / or these \ \ having the /\ be clear. but across the entire bottom inside lights. i don't like the 1/2 clear half red looks odd. an easy photochop but im lazy 
...just an idea i hope i explained it right....

Suddenly I'm seeing all this photos of "DTM" which, I can tell, is a darker (tinted?) color for the clear lights. What does DTM stand for and how do you make them and/or how much do they cost? TIA.

DTM stands for Dallas Tailight Mod, and it is simply Red/Clears that have been tinted using spraypaint on the inside of the tailight (correct me if Im wrong people).
The all-red tailights look sick! Your car looks awesome too, nice drop, great looking exhaust, etc. . . But yeah, great job on the tails, I really like em!
