hey steve,,hows it going ?? there circles,i removed the
(outer) clear cover,then removed the lens,and used
contact paper the make circle templetes,stuck those
on the lens and sprayed them black on one side,,about
5 coates, light can't leak around the lens, then reatache
the clear cover,,i thought spray silver instead of black.
there black !! something different, for the tail lights..
i was just screwing around with ideas,.i 'll hint that i need a digital camera for fathers day,,, maybe ?!

You know its funny you say that,about the current rx7's
i read a how-to for tail lights,,something about 1999's
i followed the directions, but applied it to my 82's.
the site is www.iluvmyrx7.com 3 rd gen how-to's,
tail lights...if i were to use that chrome (like) spray paint
then it would look like those altezza's or crystal tail lights that are everywhere..my back up lights are smaller
circles then the brakes,and turn lens,.,.
