Personally it think it looks sweet.

Re: Much people done this? (PatrickGSR94)

try spraying the whole thing red. It'll look really good. Spray the reverse light too cuz having a little clear square would look wierd.

Do half red/half clear. Look on ebay for some 99-00 tailights and you will be straight.

Re: Much people done this? (Grimm)

here's how my tails look.. i used black transparent paint that appears black until light is applied.. once light is applied they are crystal clear. i removed the tail/brake light bulb in the inner tail and left the reverse..

If you are talking about my car that is nothing more than a factory exhaust and muffler with the factory tip.

I bought the 99-00 ones. I have seen my fair share of painted ones, and while they can look good they just don't get as shiny as the 99-00 ones.

My car is a 96. Hence the name 96 SOHC VTEC.

Plus what year civic?

Take a look at any 92-95 Civic coupe or sedan taillight, the white reverse lights have amber around the edges of it. The hatchbacks do not, which is why you only need the outer 2 pieces to do a red/clear combo.
