None of us have tail light covers. It's called the S55 taillight treatment. The raised part of the taillights and reverse lights are painted to match the color of the car.

If you need to find your paint code it will be on the Vin sticker on the inside of the driver door jam. Look for "EXT PNT:" and then there is two letters next to it, those two letters are your paint code.

Also print out a picture so you can show them exactly how you want it. The reverse lights are part of the rear panel of the trunk so you will have to remove that.

I just taped off the reverse lights and used plastic tarp on the rest of my rear end. No need to remove the trunk.

You don't remove the trunk, just unbolt the back panel.

I shouldve taken pics of my rear end all masked off. By looking at it you would have bet that i would've gotten overspray on the bumper, but I didn't and it turned out great for $30.

I took my tail lights and panel to the body shop and had it back within a few days. He goofed and actually painted the entire panel which I don't mind at all. It made it look much better.

The plastic is duller in direct sunlight as opposed to what my panel looks like after I wax it. Yeah, it stands out a bit more.

I'm surprised CBT hasn't touched this yet...he must be slippin'! :P

Okay...thanks for the info! I've got a little extra $$$ at the moment (since I managed to NOT gamble it all away at the casino) and am wanting to have this done soon.

I ordered a set of 4" exhaust pipes earlier today...
