Smoked Tails or not. (yes another one)
Well I was gonna smoke my tails, but after doing one (a spare I had) I'm not sure if I like it.
I'll let you be the judge.
PS: sorry for the mad reflections

I like that amount of tint on them. I'm not one for the all-black look, just a little darker.

Yeah me neither, I really dont wanna go any darker, I think it would be too much black, and the cops give me enough shit with the windows.

Well if you dont like it ALL BLACK, then just put another coat on them and it will be fine. In my opinion that coat you put on looks too light, one more and it should be good.

I agree, not too dark, all black looks like theres something missing.
On another note, I think you don't like it because not all of them are done. When they all are, it will look sweet

While I think looks wise the tint LOOKS great, I always have to wonder why one would make it so their brakelights and signal lights are darker, making it that much harder for the person behind you to see them. The way people drive nowadays, all you need now is someone to say they didn't notice the brake lights come on because they are tinted so dark. Just my opinion though.

You know what would be really cool... And I was just thinking about doing this to mine... I would like to just take off the inner tails on the trunk lid, mold the trunk lid to make it look like there weren't tails there to begin with, then just have the outside ones and have those tinted...  I think that would look sweet... There's a guy that use to be on here that had something like that... He had that one kit that we can't mention on here on his car. |
