Sure they weren't smoked, which gives a darker but more uniform look to the tails, or maybe they tinted them.

so with the vynal or the paint, would i pull them apart like the front lenses, and then apply the paint/vynal, or would i just spray/lay it on the back over the tails?

any chances of seeing some pics of what you have done with your tails to get some different ideas??

thanks everyone!!!

Pactra brand Candy red RC body paint is translucent red, like a red tint, it would probably work, too.

The 16 year old was Ralero or somthing and he used Rvinyls red tail light vinyl. Yopu can get it on ebay. I used there tint vinyl for my tails and its doing great so far!
