Tail lense mod

I was looking for the post (and couldn't find it or just wasn't typing in the right words) or somebody who's done the mod on the tail lenses' where they are red all across except the backup lights part of them. I wanna get rid of that orange on the back lenses' and can't remember where the directions are to do this mod. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

no offense, as you have put alot of time into your car, but 4 spoilers? it is the most riced third-gen i've seen. some people like that tho so i'm not bashing you in any way, just my opinion.

Well you said it nice so I have no problems with it. The lower spoilers were a matter of trying to do something with the stock styl gfx to give them a less stock look. If yo notice there is not a whole lot out there for us. I really love the lower spoiler on the rear and would never change it. The front nose I plan to change out with an otp nose. They are a german based company, but they have not replied to my emails about shipping to the US. Their nose is a touch longer and more aggressive. The rear of the car was so boring once I got the hood and changed the headlights. There was not a stock spoiler that would balance the look except the high rise, but it is not quite wide enough for the birds. The GTAuto 4th gen style spoiler was nice, but their track record sucked...people a year later still waiting, so there came the dual spoiler. Not my intial choice, but we played around at a junkyard and something about that combo worked for me, so we did it. I love it! Seeing as how I show the car I have to make it stand out. This style has come together & flowed. Most people like it in person. Heck I got asked to the World of Wheels & won my class, so it can't be all bad.

bigals87z28:

Back on topic to tailights. I ahve been playing around with ideas myself. Its just our tailights are so large and the cars look bad if you transplant something else in there. Those supra lights have been so played. Personally I have found very few cars those look at home on besides the supra.

Now the caddy tailights...oh those look sweet on trucks. In fact my Scout will have them. If they had been long enough I was comsidering them for a light mod on a bird, but after seeing it...it did not fit...
