    Damn, that looks sick. Aside from the black, it'll look stock with the lights not illuminated. Keep us posted, would like to see some pics with the lights in use too.

    Interesting, the red lensed taillights have clear plastic inside, while the clear lensed Pro and Limited tails have red plastic inside. Get some limited tails and swap the lenses and you'll have completely clear tails.

    Why would someone spend nearly $40,000 on a piece of complex machinery and bother to read the manual?
