cant really see that well in the picture.... but if those lines are all straight... i think that is a nice custom touch..

I reckon it looks mad, although the lines don't match up with the badge on the garnish 100% but apart from that looks great! Put some pics up when it's on the car.

02-04-05, 17:20 GMT+10#10 In your opinion, what do your moulds surrounding the tail lights look like in on closer inspection AFTER being sprayed. I've had to resort to second hand moulds and want to get them sprayed. I also hear that second hand moulds don't fit properly, not too sure on that one though. Any comments would be appreciated (PM me so this thread isn't hijacked) but the ones that you have here look pretty good from the pics.
