dont use thinner.. use claybar.. they will get it off easily.. honestly i think you shouldve keep it stock looking or go little more darker...

+1 ... Don't go near the paint with thinner. Clay it and use a clear coat polishing cleaner followed up with wax.

I'm in IT as well.

I've been wanting to darken my tail lights, I'm thinking almost black with the alpine white. How do you think that would look?

umm personally i dont like the fully black look and this is something that has to do with you. WHATEVER YOU WANT. i just didnt want that dark look for many reasons a few....i dont want comps breathing down my throat, i have an LCI so my tail lights look so sexy, ive had black tints in the past so wanted to try something new and i liked it. when i took it to the guy that did mine b4 i asked him to do it this guy said 60bucks im like get the f%&&% out of here man he charged me 20 i think last yr on my G coupe. u noe it pisses me off when ppl c u drive an expensive car they try to rip u off. neways so i said ill just buy the bottle and do it myself. paid 10bucks for it butt he guy had already ripped the sticker the brand name off it so its just tin. whoever tries doin it its really easy if u have some what common sense wit shit like this just remember to cover a lottttttttt of space that was my one mistake.

its not the of the LCI lights themselves, its the canceller cables that you need to prevent them from throwing a code on the pre-LCI's...



BTW- your lights looks great! very nice... subtle. You don't wanna go too dark IMHO, it cheapen's the look of the car.
