Smile 99 taillight spec conversion

I seen many of you guys have done your own 99 spec taillight conversions but check mine out. Tell what u think. I used a sticker(vinyl) and cut the holes out.

I tried to get closer, but something about the light reflecting off the lamps was messing up the camera.(Icant tell the difference between 99 and these IMO)

looks the same as if you painted it. But how well will the vinyl hold up to the heat from the taillights?

...how "thick" of a sticker are those overlays? Depending on thickness level...the light may somewhat shine through at night when lights are on. Let us know how it goes...

Hey,

How come "e-birds" (!) are being shot at for someones' reponse that may not be what you were expecting? He didn't say either/or if he liked idea or not. You asked for opinions/comments and that's what you got.

Anyhow, how does it look at night when lights are on...does it shine through?
