i would def give the tails a few good coats of clear. eventually they'll wind up chipping and its better to just chip a little clear coat then to chip the nightshades away

Dear God, no! That thing looks awful lol. I would just replace the bulb above the license plate and the reverse lights themselves with leds. Not too hard.

be VERY VERY careful wetsanding these cars. the paint sucks on them. i would wetsand it down and get the car re-cleared.mainly so that theres more clear coat on the car. but thats just me.
