Got mine too. Looks JUST LIKE Jeff's (so I won't bother posting a photo).
Problem is, I'm somewhat uncomfortable with the brightness of the lites now. Tired the PIAA Halogens, they were actually DIMMER than the OEM incandescents (come to find out I'm better off with RED bulbs, as a red lens only passes the RED portion of the light spectrum - so a WHITER bulb actually works against me). I'm looking into LED array replacements to try and get back some of the brightness.
They DO look bada$$ however. Really finishes off the rear end, especially on black.

Strangely enough, the rookie that pulled me over (at night) to write me for my anti-photo tag, didn't say a WORD about the lite covers.

SORRY Virginia members. I just checked with a Va. DMV inspector who told me that all exterior lights must be factory original in order to get an Va. inspection sticker. I was all excited about getting a set, but no deal.

Looks familar 
Richard does a great job. These look so much better than stickons or that crappy tint paint. I'll second the LEO not doing anything. I've had numerous state and local police behind me on the freeway and around town...never pulled over.
Get the rear and side windows tinted...here's a pic...all together it makes it bad azzz

So keep your OEM's, and swap 'em out when you go to get inspected. Takes all of 5 minutes (OK, 10 minutes)...

It took us a very long time to get "one for the thumb" and I will not remove my badge of distinction.
