Default Custom Blackouts

Hey guys, did a small little mod over the weekend.... went to Home Depot and picked up some insect screen (screen door material) for about 7$

Took off the tail lights, double wrapped them with the screen material, cut out the whole for the light bulb and screwed them back in.. works GREAT! lights come on, and shines right thru! Rained all weekend and still look slike I just did them, really looks blacked out from angles and in person! What you guys think?

No offense, but they don't look blacked out in the pics. Look stock.
