:thumbsup: That's very nice...

Looks very good..:doublethu

put them in I wanna see them on the max

haha, i want to man i really do, but i'm waiting for about a month or two because im getting my car painted and the lip and skirts are gonna go on along with the tail lights... whole transformation at once FTW

Looks great. What color are you going to paint your max?

its going to be the same color... KN6

they came out well, glad you didn't black out the whole tail.

WTF, what a tease! damn you man :mad:! :lol:

It looks great though! And :clap: for including info on how you did it. I always wondered what these would look like tinted, as I have the same lights. Definitely would try this if my car was a darker color. I'm not sure how it would flow on beige :laugh: I know it's going to look :drool: on the KN6 though. Finished product / installed pictures FTW!

That looks to be great quality. I was looking into those lights a while back, but the chrome top would have stuck out too much for my taste. And after reading no one has successfully opened them up to paint the chrome part black, I left the idea.

I'm interested to see the final product, since my car is KN6 as well.

now we need pics of them on the car

THEY LOOK SWEET !!!!

nice lets see what they look like on the car :)

real nice. will be waiting for pics.

Nice man...Can't wait to see pics of them on the car.

so are you gonna post the pics with them on the car or wat ??? lollol

Nice work. Approx how long did this take.? Waiting for some installed pics.

took me about 4 hours, minus letting it dry for a day and buffing it out, i'm not putting them on the car til the car gets painted so it will be about a month or two before you guys see the final product!

Veryyyy interesting.

Did you testfit prior to make sure fitment was going to be up to par?

looks awesome!
