Wow very nice job, 10x times better then Neons or Altezzas...

Only problem is that the black on it dosent really match the black on the car, also, it should have something like clear glass covering it...

By the way, how did you do that?
That would be awesome if you can provide a guide, nice job

actually they are altezzas., :P it took me a long time but i took the clear lense off, and then i filled in all the gaps with plastic bondo and sanded and bondo forever it seemed, untel they were both smooth and looked nice. I know the paint dosnt quite match but in a few months im going in to get the hole car painted so ill have them paint the tails again then. I want them to match the paint exatcly. I think it provides a much smoother look to my car.

Those look outstanding. Nice job although I can't figure where you'd get the time to build up and smooth those altezza ridges. Anyway, I'm jealous. Sharpest lookest shaved tails evarrr.
