I would paint the bezel to color match your car and lightly tint the diffuser and turn signal with KBP just like NazTLs.

Here's a couple of shots. They were taken with my phone, so they're not very good, but it's all I got. Also just got the Acura emblem painted.

I agree, but all that matters is if you like it. I really love those tail lights, damn, looks better than I thought.

The tails blend really well with the side markers. I'm digging it.

Roger: it might look something like this, but just imagine a type-s bezel instead of the black one.

It's good to see that they arrived to you in one piece, considering the luck I've been having recently with UPS. I appreciate the follow-up. Honestly, I had no intentions to be your "customer from hell".

They are custom made. Type S bezel with clear internals and smoke on the turn signal and reflector.

These are some sweet custom tail lights. I'm thinking about ordering something for my SSM 04 TL with A-Spec kit. Is it fairly easy to swap them out? I'm sure there is a DIY thread somewhere can anyone point me in the direction of that thread or send me a link?

It is easy to do. You would have to drop the bumper which there are three screws on the wheel well and two into the bumper, which are covered by plastic pieces on the trim when you open the trunk. There are a lot of DIY, but its more about an hour work of work rather than it being tough.
