^yes, that would be awsome, I've been wanting to do this for a long time, but I also like the rear end of my car.

Fellas, there is something wrong with my SD card today. I will be using a different card so that I can snap a few HD quality night shots of my smoked tail lights. I'll try to get it done by tonight, if not tomorrow for sure.

I apologize for any inconvenience.

Here are the night shots! Plenty of light when it's done professionally. Gotta love 'em.

Smoked Tails (brake is not applied) with reverse lights on





This is same but without reverse lights on.

in all my experiences with tinted taillights light output at night is hardly ever sacrificed it always the visibility of the signals during the day that will ever come into question. a good tint job wont ever hurt it tho!

I emiled the guy Cutterwolf used. Although his work seems awesome its a bit expensive. He told me $230 for the lights and I could get a refund of $70 if I sent him my OE lights when I got his smoked ones in. What do yall think of these? They are $10 cheaper and I get to keep my OE lights.

I just ordered a few cans of the JDM spray from American Muscle, planning on doing the work this weekend when the weather warms up a bit. I'll try and post some pics when it's done.
