Yup! Good work, Sterling.

IMHO, it's especially effective on certain colors (e.g., red cars) where the amber just clashes with the car.

Sterling, did you actually touch the car or did you grab photoshop this time?

Looks great! You painted it - correct?

If so, make sure the blinker is still bright enough. I once followed a fellow rennlister who had painted his tail lights, and I could barely see the blinker during the day.

I shaved the embossed letters and symbols and used tinting film on mine. Depending on the light conditions, some amber shows through:

Cool! And the all red is a better solution for your paint color than my smoked top.

I believe Jim Mayzurk was the first to go 'all red' on his rear lights. I liked his so much, I did it on several of my black S4's and my GTS. I used a few thin layers of Testor candy apple red and hot rod red spray for mine, masking everything but the yellow. Easy to do, and to my eye, looks much better. But, as the 'original 928 OC Treasurer' used to say: YMMV!!
