i think its safe to say, thats how alot of GR owners feel. i've got the same overlay, and should be getting them on soon. i also found 'stealth' bulbs for the turn signals

What are turn signal "stealth" bulbs?

they are basically regular turn signal bulbs, but coated-over in chrome. when installed, there looks like nothing is there, until you hit the switch to indicate your turning. then they light up the normal amber color. i did this on the 2003 WRX i had as well. it cleans up the look nicely (almost got them for the EDM STi projector lights as well)

here is a pic of what i mean (this pic was also on the back of the packaging)

Ah. Could you share part numbers / links for the bulbs you used?

the rear turn signal bulbs are 7440's, and had found them on ebay. But, i found a link to them on stealthauto.com

Just got an 09 in dark gray metallic. I want to do something with the tail lights. Originally I was thinking of a smoke film, but I really like how these red cutouts look. I'm not sure it would look as good on the dark gray car though. Anybody have an image of that?

rxbytran posted a pic of his Dark Grey Metallic STi with a BlueBat overlay back on page 6. im actually going the same route on mine, if i can find a local shop to do it. .... (i dont trust myself)

My overlays just came in! Going to drop them on tomorrow maybe. I think I will be the first I have seen on here or nasioc with a White/Gold STI with smoked tails with cutouts.
