Default Tinted Tails

So i just did my first upgrade on my 99 since I got it. Since I don't get paid this week, I went cheap and tinted my taillights. and DARK. I just wanted to get your guy's opinion on the black on black, and should I black out the third brake light?


Creative criticism accepted haha, thanks.

Thats with your brake lights on? I would leave the 3rd so people can see something while your braking lol. Looks nice though.

Yeah I will definitely leave the third untinted, I think the splash of red looks good on its own, and the lights are dark but I didn't want a light coat in a black car, I wanted it to be black haha

No haha, I figured that out the hard way tonight.

Backing out of my girlfriends yard, her eight foot ditch tried to swallow my car.


Either i'm gonna lose the tint on just the reverse light square, or just stick my head out the window. Haha

I had considered LED's, how much of a pain are they to wire in?

I just took the tails out and sprayed over the whole things with about three or four coats to black them out, didn't even think about my reverse lights.
