Default Opinions???

i had these light custom painted and I was wondering whats everyone's opionon on them. I was gonna sell them on ebay but I decided not to because they are OEM SI tailights. But should take the paint off and waste $150 of custom work on it??

That was $150 for the paint on those lights?? Seriously?

They look ok I guess, I prefer the half red half clear look of stock SI tails.

Are you trying to decide if you should sell them, or keep them but remove the paint becuase you don't like them?
