I figure it's a really cheap way to mod car. Two unique tails cost only 6 CDN.. and about 2 hours....

I know it's not as good as the inspire ones and I actually thought about taking it off after the negative opinion. However, I went to school today and there was another TL parked right besides me, exactly the way my car used to be... the yellow tails, the Acura of North Toronto license plate... and then I just deicded to keep things a bit longer until I got enough money to buy the Inspire tails...

Because the vinyl is like the sticker itself, so u don't have to worry it'll fall or anything...

This one is actually a lot easier compare to those silver interior. You just have to put the vinyl on the tails and use a very sharp knife to cut the shape u need... it's really the easiest one compare to others... but when u cut it, don't push it too hard 'coz u don't wanna damage ur original tails...

Right now I have removeable tint spray on my accord taillights. But I would like something a little more durable than the spray, but still reversible in case "the man" hassles me.

alrite, i just did this red vinyl mod. i tried so many ****in places to get it: 3 hobby shops, 1 addesign place, home depot, etc. etc. etc. i finally found cherry red transparent tailight repair tape from R and S Strauss, or wutever that place is called. it came in a roll of like 4" X 60". there was no need to even remove the taillight either.
its an alright match up, but not tranparents enough. the upper part of my tailight is not as "crystallized" as the bottom half. Ill try and find better vinyl. cuz now it looks pretty ghetto, but at least better than before. ill post pix in a lill bit.
