I find that smoked clear light they use for the upper part looks fantastic.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Well as the title says, I tinted my tail lights full red.
I was going for that all-red 997 look. I'm pretty happy with the outcome. I rubbed some acetone to make sure it's reversible, and it sure is. I'll leave it on for some time and make my decision.
What does everyone think?
Can anyone recommend a good clear-coat spray that I can use to achieve that glossy look?
Thanks!
I like the OEM look way better! I find that smoked clear light they use for the upper part looks fantastic. I would've went the LED route if I was you!!
Thanks.
Luckily, it can all be removed so I'm not worried.
The LED's on eBay look OK. I really want the 997.2 LED look, but have had a hard time find them.
There is a good chance the acetone will dull the lenses if you try to remove all that. Just be aware. Acetone disolves plastic.
If you like the look, I would try to polish them up a bit and go with it.
I like the all red look, but what do you do for reverse lights? It stands out a lot on silver. I'd consider it on my car since it's red and would blend in.
Tint from the inside if you can,........ that will keep the polished look on the outside. I dont know if they come apart that way. Worth a try if you keep that look.
