Might work, I think the real problem is the lame chrome underneath, if it was black it would look better, don't think the led's are strong enough w/o a reflector. You got me thinking now thought and I'm on the lookout for some stocks now (gah)
Why don't you get some lamin-x half smoke overlays?
or i'm pretty sure you can bake apart the tails, paint the chrome plastic black, and pop it all back together... if you have that kind of time on your hands.
