I have to concur, those taillights look great.  and I'm a fan of amber
turn signals... though I guess they still light up amber, right?

This solves the problem of how ugly amber lenses will look against
yellow paint on the coupe...

One thing to be careful of here - different paint formulations sometimes
react rather nastily to each other, it would be a good idea to test as
much possible before doing your "good" lenses.  get a busted one, paint
it, clear coat it, and see how it works, then do the ones that matter.
