Time for Nice...or Rice..?

So I swapped on some inner clear brake lights on my IS. Not wanting to look like a GS with those famous faded lights that turn pink and light up clear, I used red bulbs.

To achieve a slightly darker look that matched my JDM tails, I used smoke vinyl on them. I also ripped off the stupid insulting "weather strips" and used a nice thick roll of weather stripping that's 4x as big. No leaks for me! Anyway, what do you guys think, Nice....or Rice?

Here's the original red lights.

I'm going to assume that the "Altezza" badge was added by you? If so, you should finish it off by changing "Lexus" to "Toyota" and swapping in the Toyota logo in place of the Lexus logo. Other than that, it looks clean. I've always been a fan of the IS300's.

Yeah, I added the Altezza myself. I'm not going to add Toyota badges though. The stock Altezza only had "Altezza" and no mention of Toyota anywhere (it even had a proprietary emblem for the front).

Shit, then do that. "Scrape" the rest off and let it look like a legit Altezza.
