Im talking about the bottom pic. Very sharp!! Not to be a pain, but can you match the color to the body? I think we're on to something here, and I cant wait to get with Bat to get a final design.
Try using Fastmax's pic which is a smoke colored Maxima and do em up in smoke color.

A real quick 5 minute sketch of what I'd like as the style for tails. The thing is that it looks best if the reverse light was red-out.
I don't know why...but I feel that this style has been done on a newer style Honda car...I can't remember which one though. Still it kinda looks good on DeusEx's Max.
Either way I'd like to see the way you guys have it, but on the edge of tail to not have the line blacked out. The side closest to the middle of the car, right now the part that shows is a bit short. Not sure if anyone knows what I mean, but kind of like how it is on my rendition and add the third see-through line.
Man I really can't remember what tails I've seen that look like that...it's going to bother me all night.

Mercedes S550?
Maybe the new civic Si?
Your 5 minute sketch looks really nice. I like the silver inner border you have. Not sure how to deal with the reverse light though.

Thanks DeusEx 
Glad you like it!
Man I guess it's a combination of the Mercedes S550 and Honda Si lol who would've thought that those two would be in the same sentence?
If you get 5% tint for the black part I think the reverse lense won't be a problem. Along with 20% platinum tint for the outline to compliment the chrome trim. It would look great!!
If you get em done please take pics for everyone!

*********UPDATE********
I met Bat today and we did some drawings and slightly modified Jess's idea. I should get first draft of the tint this week and then any tweaks that need to be made can be made. Its gonna look great though!!! We are thinking going solid black (body color) and then maybe we can do something about an inside border i.e. silver on black or whatever. The reflector will be visible and the brake and tail lights will be too, like in Jess's drawing. We did try a modification of the back up lights to make those functional. Ill keep ya'all posted!!!

Surprised you like it so much lol. Thanks!BTW: What is the meaning of your plate? For some reason at first I thought "Fallen Angel"...then I was like naah can't be that.
