heres another set i did, so far the other 2 sets ive done havent faded at all. heres the trick use red metalcast and while its still tacky apply anywhere from 4-6 thin coats of duplicolor wheel clear spray, its pretty resistant to cleaners and chemicals and the elements. these were another set of clears i transformed into red/clears. of course i like mine blood red.

find some clears for your coupe and do what i did,..its quite simple,..and you will get the satisfaction of doing something yourself :thumbup: ,...clears are cheap these days do to the lack of demand for them anymore,...transperant paint is cheap also,..i cant remember but its only like 3-4 bucks for one small can,..and that small can did all four peices of the taillights i did and still had some paint left over,..i did like 3 coats too

If you can, I'd say go for the OEM RED/CLEARS. OEM Quality is best.

If not, NeverBX's setup is VERY NICE. I've done similar projects the same way. Comes out nice...

As for Cashis's altezza setup :happysad:

If i was to put all-clear tails on my 94 and paint the top-half red, wouldn't i need to rewire the tail light assembly as well so that the reverse lights and blinkers are on bottom and driving and breaks are on top?

There's no such thing as OEM red/clears for the 5th gen
