Look like stocks to me, you can still see remnants of the amber if you look in the left side pic of the left taillight.

When painting tails, normally a "translucent" or "stained glass" paint is used.

Looks halfway decent I think.

I want altezza's with smoke lenses, that would be awesome. How do you go about smoking the plastic anyway, do they make paint for that? I doubt it's anywhere near legal but it would look badass.

Might be a good bet to PM him and ask if he has any day pics, cause I couldnt find any.
