That was hilarious. I can just picture that.whatever you do, DO NOT drill holes in your tail lights no matter what anyone tells you. just take out your tail lights and you'll see the original gasket material is not thick enough and water gets in through it. you can order new gaskets which are different from the original ones or make your own somehow.
Edit: BTW the smoked tails look great. I am thinking of doing that with mine plus the headlights. Nice job.

I don't drive my car much at night. I don't want it too dark either. This is what I want: http://www.rx8strakes.com/index.asp?...ROD&ProdID=303
It's gunsmoke--7% darker than stock, should not be an issue.
Then the rear: http://www.rx8strakes.com/index.asp?...ROD&ProdID=298
Gunsmoke 7% as well, although its not pictured. Should be just enough to make it look different, yet not affect visibility.

if you're buying taillight overlays, i DO NOT suggest getting a cheap kit.
they will rip and you will cry.

i second that.
now that mine are a few days old, they still look ok... they look GREAT if you stand about 3 feet back, but they turned out alright.
