Darrick is right those DTM lights look soooo pretty. I wish I cameacross that idea before I had my tails sprayed. But anyways one piece of advice if you go with the Nite Shades route...The finish will not come out glossy nor smooth. More like a rough flat finish. Even if you wetsand it afterrords and then hit it with a clear coat it will not be half as shiny as the tails in my sig picture below. I had mine sprayed black @ a body shop.
