I really would hate to see an Evo with those 90s-era things on the tail lights, but what I do think would be cool is if you had your tail lights custom smoked internally or externally depending on your preference. You can do this by going to EvoDave who basically does all sorts of artwork with the tails and heads:
I haven't actually seen the prices, but we're talking $100-200 to modify YOUR lights instead of $700 for a new set of VIIs or JDM MRs or IXs or whatever.
Wow, yours already look that good? That first pic looks light years better than the second pic. Completely blacking out the tail lights with a plastic cover was a fad back in the early 90s, but I don't see it anymore except on the occasional 15yo Corolla with plastic Autozone spinners. If that's what you really want, then of course that's your preference, but I think the first pic looks great. I thought maybe you had the stock VIII jeweled pieces of crap, but what you have is sweet, imo. Completely blacking them out is also illegal in most places...or at least the places I've lived.
If I ever manage to get the car I want for my "fun summer ride" I would consider blacked out head and tail lights. It just looks good along with deep tint on dark colored cars to me.

is modding our lights just like modding a wrx? cook them @ 250 for like 5 minutes then split em open and paint the crome minus the parts that actually serve as refliction surfaces.
well im going for the all blacked out look, i really dont care if it was a fad in the 90's i like that look. So maybe we could keep on topic and just answer my question of were i can acomplish this than that would be great.
you can get spray on tint from summit racing or autozone but then again you said only plastic covers. the spray on suff looks super good my buddy has it on his car.
For the tailights lightmods.com is the only choice I am aware of, if you want the headlights to be blacked out I suggest the same site or black replacements like these.

I agree that a custom setup by evodave is the better option though.
