I have used clearcoat mixed with black paint. The light shines through. Maybe mine are black enough, but i hate amber lights that much, that i wanted to be sure to get rid of the slightest glimmer of it. BTW, i like the RS taillights more than the iroc style ones. The grid taillights look crappy with the black colored amber part, and i do not like total black taillights.
Some of you mentioned that i should install the open/iroc grill. I will not, because i think the rs grille matches the iroc hood better, and it gives the car a meaner look. Maybe it is just me....

looks special, but since i installed brand new park lights on tuesday, i will let it be the way it is now. As i mentioned, i hate amber, i replaced the amber bulbs with white ones. legal or illegal, i don't give a damn

I think your the first to paint the amber black, I also hate the amber color. I hate to be a pain but if you have a better picture of your tails can you post them?

I have virtually the same car and was considering Boyd's wheels.
Have you had any problems with the rear tires rubbing; did you have to make any modifications to the wheelwells?
Other than that...congratulations, it must take real dedication to own/restore/modify an American car in Europe as I'm sure it is insanely expensive to do so.:hail:

I like the grille, keep it the way it is.

The only thing that I would change is the interior. In my opinion, it would look much better black.

Did you sand the amber off or will the paint cover it up. And you said clearcoat mixed with black. Did you put one coat of clear then black or what?

So do you think he hand brushed them in? And do you need to sand off the amber or just go over it?
