Looks really good. Much more legit that simply tinting the whole tailight.

Will you eventually be publishing costs outside of individual PM's?

im gauging interest right now via PMs but so far have not shared a price with anyone on any forum as i want to make an informed decision both on labor and materials costs.

im not a sanctioned vendor or business on the forum, just a crazy dude who likes doing cool shit to his car from time to time so pricing will more than likely be discussed via PM for guys who want it done.

(yes i know there's a crack in the taillight, this was an extra tester LCI light i bought off ebay specifically to create this mod lol)

i have recieved a few PMs on getting this done for other users, im checking into sourcing some materials so i can do a few sets, once i do that i will be in a better position to discus pricing.

we are also considering selling LCI taillights totally modded and pre-wired to achieve the brake effect for pre-LCI cars w/ our own custom wiring solution so they will be plug & play w/o special cables....more to come
yes Im a pre-lci guy, Id like that!

So you basically just take the taillights apart and put tint behind the bars?

sorry man, cant give you my ancient Chinese secrets on this one....but its a quite bit more extensive than that. Took a lot of thinking and man hours to get it to where its at now...the first few iterations were def not worth sharing to say the least
