X-Vert those came out awesome. I tried painting mine but they came out like @$$. it like puddled up in the circles in the 06 tails and one light was darker than the other just looked horrible. but the paint came right off with paint thinner and u can't tell it was ever on there anymore. not sure what to do next im thinking overlays.
i haven't installed the opaque gloss black tails yet but i can see my reflection in these and that's not under sunlight
...i agree painted tails look nicer but this is so much more convenient

The 06 tails are probably harder but if you get the GTR style, then you don't have to worry about the ripples.

CASkyline (Randy) can do the painting. Look him up. His quality is top notch, and he's easy to work with. Great guy. Lives in Gardena, SoCal. He has done a lot of cars already, including mine. Only thing though, he's jam packed right now. One might have to get on a list. He did FireDawg and SpeedRaver to name a few.

I think he meant how did you get your tails looking so good.....i have never seen any tinted tails done so nicely....i am having mine done this week by my buddy who owns a shop....if it looks half as nice as yours i will be happy 
i used the vht spray 3 coats and sprayed 3 coats of duplicolor clear gave it a quick compound with a buffer and then some finishing material.. and im compltely satisified with the results, i love the look and its super cheap and easy .. here are some photos
Anyone have night pictures (preferably before and after) of the tail lights, brake lights and reverse lights? I'm not too concerned with it blocking all that much but would like an idea.
