I'd love to do that. Looks good.

What does the paint cost? Wouldn't it last longer if it was painted on the inside instead?

not to be an @#$#, but clean your exhaust dude

I feel like smoked tails make it look more like an rx-7. Love it, I need to find the DIY...

Our tail lights are so sexy and stylish, why does everyone smoke them? Smoking kills...
