oh yeah no problem. couple of hours worth of work, mostly waiting for paint to dry and a few beers and you'll be good to go. if you **** up and the paint runs don't wipe it off while wet. just let it go, let it dry and then wet sand it when it's dry and then repaint. the vht nightshades is kinda pricy but worth it. good luck and post pics when done!
another note: when i did mine that nightshades was a ***** to get off in case you f'ed up like i did and wanted to start over. nothing would take the paint off except brake fluid. but don't let brake fluid sit on the lens for too long or it could eat right through it.

if you do this which lights will you have the icon on? the two brake lights or the reverse lights? if the reverse lights then i suggest making the bowtie small enough to fit inside the clear portion of the lens and not go over into the red portion. it'd look better that way IMO but that's up to you.

yeah once performance is handled then it's time for the appearance mods. i went a little ass backwards only because performance mods are much much more expensive.
those are nice but PA cops won't dig it
