New taillight mod, I think?

I know people have switched out there TL tails for modded type S' ones with a combination of both but i was thinking, What if the regular TL tails' were painted black for the inside? Might look a litttle different done but I tried a photoshop and looked pretty good in my opinion. All opinions/suggestions welcome. Thinking about trying this?

Oh and I hope who ever's car this is doesnt mind me using it!

ive thought about doing this too, but i dont think the difference will be that dramatic since the lens is a very thick red. if the lens was more of a transparent red, then it would look more like the photochop.

Looks pretty good. Maybe you could put the paint on the outside. Make a trial run with black electricians tape.

i used the tint and cut it out...it looked nice....but i ended up buyin the TL-S and just took the tint off my TL. its much easier to tint it and then cut it out....but i think it looks good just tinted....or plain....your taste i guess.

it depends what color TL you have.. on a blue TL like the one you used, not so great.
on a black or white one, awesome.
