i dont understand why there's a gap... if you re-create the stock red lens with a clear piece of lexan... why should anything change?

someone should start selling just the outside lenses. then, we could customize our tails how we want them. however, the smoked altezzas on the maroon ho look pretty darn good. i think its because they aren't really dark.

Not a bad idea, it would be a cleaner look. I just dont know if the yellow part of lens is the cover like the red part or an insert. How hard is that and would it cost just as much Wrightie?

the lense is all one piece and is plastic welded to the taillight housing. he'd have to replace the whole lense then tint it red.

I just think it would be a cleaner look without the yellow piece in our tails but, its too much time and money for the finished product. Anyone have any other tail concepts in mind?

Ok so Im a month late into this thread, but heres my opinion. Altezza's, cleared tail lights, whatever you may call the are so five years ago. They came in and went out as quick as well, spandex and Vanilla Ice. No car should what so ever have cleared tail lights on them, not even the stock ones on the Ford Fusion, Nissan Altima/Maxima look good. F&F made them ricey.

okay, so anything but stock is lame? that's basically what you're saying troyer. most people who have stickers on their cars (3rd brake overlays, and olds window signatures) and 7 color side markers are considered "ricey"
as far as taillights, i believe that some "euro tails" look ok. but, you shouldn't get clear tails just becuase they make them for your car. that's stupid. what i did was to spray my tails with clear red paint. this gave them the red look without the amber reflector. i used testors translucent candy apple red, with wetsanding of 1000 and 2000 between coats, and 3 coats of clear, wetsand in between but not on last coat. they turn out a little darker than stock, but not bad at all. i'm using some white vinyl over the center lights so you won't be able to tell. you could also use red vinyl laminate.

they look fine at night. no problems at all. as far as the inners, i'm having vinyl overlays made that get rid of the middle lamp except for an olds rocket over the backup lights.
