yea i like the whole black out look too ive got 5% tint and i was thinkning about going with black rims but im not sure yet. my rim choice has been narrowed down to either the saleens or fr500 id get either in black or the saleens in chrome and the fr500 in the anthracite grey color. a cool trick ive seen for blacking out tailights (depends how dark you want it) is to mix some black paint with some clear and spray the lights. looks real nice especialy since it isnt like a 1/8 in piece of plastic on them. then you can make them as light or dark as you want them, aslo ive heard of people using window tint. the only thing i would be worried about with that is if you dont get it real good it could peel.

yeah bein the big contours on mustang tail lights. i cant imagine that workin too well without big bubbles. Well i may be goin the altezza light. they are pretty cheap (bout 50 bucks a set) so after i black em out and if i dont like them then its not a huge loss. I like the covers sept its hard to find covers that dont stick out a lil bit. i want it to look like the light itself is black.

on your car or your lights? car-20%... lights-5% or 2%. remember you can see thru tint with a light shining thru it. if you want it real dark for the lights, go 2%.
