Yessir, just got the new paint in and it is by far the best matte black that I have ever used.
We decided to paint the silver ridges hi-gloss black, one of the headlight is done, I'll post better detailed pictures tomorrow or so when both of them are done.

CleanCL's headlights and tail lights
Headlight details
4G TL headlights
Blacked out V2
Matte black
Hi-gloss black painted ridges
TSX-R lens swap
Custom cut off shields.
First of I’d like to thank CleanCL for trusting me with a brand new set of 4G tails just so that we can experiment with them and see if they can be opened in one piece and be modified, this set was truly a labor of love as I love to experiment (usually on my own expense rather than the customer’s :p). Hats off to you sir.

Why would an automaker be offering smoked headlights/taillights, alternative grills, etc.?......the vast majority of the buyers are families and non-enthusiasts who could care less about any of this stuff. That's what aftermakets are for.

JnC question:
How long to do you bake the tails for? and at what degree?
I want to open mine and I know they aren't like headlights and can't be kept in there too long.

Yes, dremel it is.
I thought about that but for now the interest is not great enough for me to invest in the tails, priority still is headlights as thats the main gig.
Tails are sealed using permanent adhesive, so I have to cut them open and then reseal them using epoxy.

an adult perspective
Think the tails would look good on the Mayan Bronze, but don't quite know about the heads. Possibly the only 6-speed color that couldn't benefit?
