GOT THEM DONE ON SECOND PAGE... you be the judge if i made the right choice... i like them... thanks for the help everyone!
I believe those were painted by the owners or a shop. Pretty sure that is all it is, just some paint.

alot of guys are painting them over on 3gwrx.com because they find that the tint peels. Otherwise, they go with bluebatmobile's stuff. They are pre-cut but have mixed reviews. http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y42/BlueBatmobile2005/ also, theres alot of solutions on google..http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...il+light+overlays&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=
hmmm... ill look into this.. maybe ill try the tint first and if it peels then ill paint it that way its easier to clean if the tint peels.
That's the route I'm going. I figure once you paint them you're screwed. So I'm gonna do the tint and see how I like it, then go from there.
Don't do paint!!! Do overlays instead... Do some research on NASIOC for '08 GR Overlays, specifically BlueBatmobile's Overlays. http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y42/BlueBatmobile2005/Subaru 2008 WRX STI Overlays/ http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1316492 I mean no disrespect by this, I'm just trying to help you but have you looked much on NASIOC?

i just ordered tint for it... ill see how it works, ive tinted windows before so it should be easy to install good and that video helps too. thanks everyone
you could always talk to Chris @ Flawless Front Ends. Instead of buying something, you can just modify your current ones!
I had Chris Weckle apply my bluebatmobile overlays on my STI and they look awesome. Getting the film to bend around some of those curves is well beyond my level of expertise.
tried the tint!!! do not do! haha unless your a expert... the side tail lights suck... they bend around and then have shapes in them that make it very difficult if not impossible.. im going to do the stained glass now.

i did the spray today! i think it turned out good.. you be the judge but only costed about $10 here is the link: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1820318 BEFORE AFTER
Looks Nice! From afar spray looks just as good as film and costs a little less. Now you need to paint that chrome piece either red or black, that would look sick!
yeah man i was thinking red or black!! i was thinking black then i have all this extra red spray... how do you think that would look? can anybody do photoshop?
black for sure,your paint color black, shell out the $60 and have it professionally done, I color matched the chrome piece to my car and it looks 10000x better
yeah i already have the paint codes to do it myself... its 3 different layers for the metallic finish, haha but i saw my extra red spray and started thinking... but yeah i think i will go with the black. also just got some lowering springs for my car! going to be a niice summer...
