I use photobucket.
You can upload your pics to photobucket, copy the "direct link" tag. In your reply box in the forum you'll click on the yellow icon with the two mointains then you'll paste the code there. That's how you do "THAT"

Hope I did this right....
I had Acktl05 clear the red portion of the turn signal, then I purchases 2 Amber LED's from Vled's and 2 Resistors. Had them installed and the outcome is all I had hoped for.
Thanks to Acktl05 for a GREAT job.

No problem I'll help you out a little.

That style looks great on the red, also how did you get the LED turn signals to work? I couldn't get mine to fit in the hole of the taillight.

i like the color match idea, but that black outline kills it for me. i suppose the black has to be there tho...no real way to hide that.

also, is that water vapor a regular thing or only when you wash your car? hope that evaporates.

tails look good tho, def unique.

That red one looks nice however I have a question just cuz im curious. Is that an OEM Type S lip spoiler or no? Reason I ask is because I have a 08 Type S and the spoiler basically hangs over the back of the trunk where as yours is actually mounted forward and completely on the flat surface. Just curious thats all. I guess its probbaly an aftermarlet spoiler thats why it looks different.
Nice TL!!
