So, I've been looking for some aspires because I wanted some amber in my taillights, well, since the search has been fruitless so far I decided to play around with my 2nd Gens, tamiya transluscent orange was used for the paint, I like it, I'm going to tint them a tiny bit too at some point.
LMK what you guys think. I apologize for the filthy car

Doesn't look bad, but I don't like it.

Hmm.. Looks "too orange" more of an amber would probably look better.. I know it's your first time trying this. Great job on the work.

I think he means less orange, but same darkness.

hmmm, we'll see, I'll play around with mixing different paints, it's only 2 coats, no clear yet, so it'll come off easily once I have time to redo it, I"m happy with it for now until I can get some aspires of my own

it makes the car look more "1990's" is the word that comes to mind.

The 3rd gen aspire's orange is a bit brighter

As if the Acura TL is similar enough you now turned it into a clone. Now if you turn your hi-beams into yellow fog lights you're
in business....

I personally like the way the second Gens are factory.
