Nice job. Did the chrome come off the rear lights or did the tape it off?

I used some spray paint for abs plastic and on the side emblems all the leters ate different pieces so it is going to b hard to line them back up

I am really liking the blacked out chrome on the taillights. It's subtle but works really well with the IOM. Looks great all around.

Hmm...I dont know how i feel. I like it, but not sure if I wanna do it.

Im goin for a similar look as you. I have a Vic Red SS with black rallies and have already blacked out the bowties (although i left the chrome outline), and ive blacked out the side gill vents. This idea is very interesting, thanks for sharing

That is sic, one of the best DIY Mods I've seen. I wasnt to big on RS tail lights, but this really brings them out.

Good job man!
