I painted the pontiac black on my trans am tailights on the 84. They were red, and look better black, but I guess that doesnt really count as a custom thing.

I didn't change the look of my lights but I did install a sequential turn signal unit, looks great when turning (IMHO). kind of reminds me of the old cougars lights. I always liked them.

I painted the outside.It took alot of time masking and alot of patience.I didn't just stripe it white either, that black is VHT night shades.If you do the same thing I wouldn't recommend more than two light coats of the stuff, it gets real dark in a hurry.

I didn't think they turned out too bad for a prototype. With some refining, I think that concept could be very sweet
