so, uh, where's the info?

My opinion, I don't like it. It stands out too much, plus the reflectors below the tails are still the stock color. If you painted them, It might look better.

im sure that it is who you think it is...

04, the reason i didnt paint those reflectors is because they are molded into the rear fascia and i dont want to just rip them out. mostly, i just wanted the tails to match the center bar.

makes sense....still don't like it though.

I guess it doesn't help that I didn't see it before you did the mod. Maybe if I did I'd have a different opinion.

Now the mod has a purpose, makes a world of difference. And that being said, you did a good job.

Since you painted them on the outside, I'd say get some blue painters tape and mask off the outlying area real good and spray em. How's that?
