legal
do you know if the smoked ones are legal, yours look like they have a tint to them, if those are clear how dark are the smoked ones, are they around $500ea.

Here is the link for the clear LED taillights. The price is close to $500 for the pair although I have seen cheaper.

those you see on my car are smoked. ranges from below $500 to around $600 per pair (plus shipping) on ebay, depending on who you feel is a trustworthy seller. even if they are smoked, they are pretty bright. and if you do get them, don't forget to do some reading on the LED light thread which gives details on the drawbacks and how to solve these issues.

Rep Power: 41 While browsing thru my pics yesterday, I came across a butt shot of my 996 when it was all stock. I recall during the time, that butt looked pretty good. Seeing it yesterday, I was shocked to see how plain it was. Here's a before and after pic. What a difference a few mods make. I can't wait to get my aero wing on that butt. Surely gonna make an even bigger (and better) difference.

That looks great and the wing def finishes it off. Are those X50 tips with the one hole opening on the bigger tip with the half tip closed off?
Did you have to do any pipe mods to make them fit within the older style('99-'01) rear bumper openings?

one hole goes into both the bigger tip and the half tip. got them from ebay. they were designed for the mk1 996, therefore, no modifications needed. they went straight in.

taillight tint
could you tell me what color or shade & how they done it, did they use a clear, etc... probably lot cheaper than ordering 2 smoked taillights, i think they look awesome! is that the same thing you did with headlights, if so, how could headlights shine thru paint.
