Default got bored today

well i was sitting on my couch in the garage today just looking at my car and decided that the taillights needed a bit of tweeking....so i ended up breaking the clear plastic off and baically turned them into 3D taillights.....only half a bottle of goo gone, 4 hours, a big hammer, and a few blood knuckels later and this is what it turned out like...i think im gonna paint them gunmetal grey to match the rest of the trim...
what do you think????
the top pick is of one of the lights before i messed with it......i know it was dirty
the other 2 pics are after shots....

wouldnt mind that, but everything else is gunmetal gray......

i like the 3D taillights for the srt4's and this was as close as i could get for this car.....i might leave it for a while and see how it goes
