Need Opinion on Custom Tails (Pic Included)

Looking for opinions on this before I ruin my tails. I quickly chopped this and threw it up. The finish product will have the OEM 3-stage WDP paint. I'm looking for your opinions on how this looks on MY car (not your car).

I'm trying everything possible to prevent blacking out my tails. Please be constructive with your criticism. Your input is valuable to me.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not a fan. I'm trying to think of something more helpful and constructive to say than that. I think it looks... cheap? I dunno. It reminds me of the plastic blackout stick-on covers Mustang guys put on their cars.

I vote "ghost" tails. I love that look.

I commend your effort to try something other than what we are used to seeing, but I don't like it either.

hahaha don't do it trew, remember, the TL is a touring luxury

my next tail light project is going to be blacking out the red panels inside the 07-08 base tail, instead of just tinting out the red externally how I have them now.

Base 07-08 lights are only sexy on the WDP and SSM, ASM... but other than that.. I pass...

I have a base 07, when i had the base lights and pressed the brakes.... it was telling people.... "I am part of the breast cancer foundation"......talk about pink galore.

Some how they look good on WDP.... honestly they look good until you press the brakes in broad day light.

Back when car was stock to the bone.. minus the type-s deck lip.

mustangss ftl! lol

but yeahs the ghost mod tails would look sick. or just base 07-08 as they mentioned. why not just get the base, then go to ghost mod later if you want. xP

but i do agree 100% the base lights only look good on white or silver TL's. maybe black ones but without pressing the brakes xP
