This is the picture where I thought the roof spoiler wasn't a good fit, regardless of color. To me, it looks like an awning on a car.

This looks much cleaner. Hmmm... I really was hoping to be done modding this car. Hahahahaha!

One suggestion though- have you thought about also getting the rest of the tailight smoked it would go perfect with your theme.
Funny you mention that... I had the tails on my 2007 first done the same way as these tails. I then decided I had to go all the way and had my tails completely sprayed, but that car was Jet Black. I like the red portion of the tails on this car, especially since these are the LED LCI's. It gives the car some contrast and breaks things up a bit.

This looks cleaner but it still has a roof spoiler. So it might be because the RDSport trunk spoiler is too aggressive?

I think so, which is why the roof might have to go, as I'm not swapping the deck lid. Too much of a pain, at this point. I might just throw my car out. I can't take it anymore.

No, it's film. The place I bought it from is no longer in business. The film was laser cut to fit this EXACT area on the light.

However, member poleposition, after seeing my film on my 2007, took his car to a tint shop and they cut the pieces by hand to perfectly fit that portion of the light. I believe they used thicker, exterior tint for this. Ask poleposition where he went. I think it was Detailing Dynamics in Mineola. It looks great on his car too. You wouldn't know mine came from a different place, if you looked at them side by side.
