I know it sounds pretty ghetto but i had no idea it was panty hose till i asked him how he did it.
Hmmm, is'nt that interesting. I think that's pretty cool.

I did this on my car.. Use the VHT NightShades brand available at your local Ramcharger store. Its a transparent so it will still reflect light even if your lights arn't on. Looks good on a black car. I can post pics if you wish.

I used nightshades on the lower half of my tailights (see sig)
turn signal still shows thru perfect. backup lights are a little dimmer, but still fine. I used 3 coats

It looks kinda dull upclose Zimm... maybe a few clearcoat layers would make it glossy again.

As far as the teg tails go, you can really get creative by masking out just the backup light, or do just the "trim" (where the light doesnt light up), etc... i'm still stuck on what parts to paint or not.

Hehehehehehe. I know I shouldn't laugh, and I know you're being serious. But this sounds like something you hear in gradeschool.
