Default DIY Tails

I am kinda getting sick of the plain old altezza tails, but dont want to buy the carbon fiber tails yet, or at least not til the car is painted. So i decided to do something different to these lights and it hardly cost me anything. I went to AutoZone and bought a can of Gunmetal wheel paint and planned to paint the lights gunmetal gray to give them a new look. First i had to heat them up to open the casing up. I set the oven to 325 degrees and once it was ready, i put the lights in for about 2-3 minutes.



That opened the lights up and made them look like this.



Then I masked them off and started to spray them.



And here's how they turned out!



Now all I have to do is heat them back up and hold them together and put them back on.
