I for one think it would look pretty sweet. Kind of like a Knight Rider look. Very cool IMHO

I think you'll need something to contrast all that black, maybe stripes or chrome wheels instead of black.

I think all black would be cool. i'd do the headlights too and get the clear corner lights to make it ALL black.

Where are you located? I know I was thinking about the same thing but the cops around here don't fool around when it comes to car modifications, especially those that involve lights. My friend had his tailight tints on for not even 2 hours before he received a hefty fine. (Westchester NY)

i was going to do something similar to my black stang, but then i decided to go with chrome rims to give it a little contrast.

i say go smoked wheels (dark grey, not too flashy) something like this:

or if your looking for a different look, go for the white version and get white racing stripes

i like the idea of smoked tail lights, but most cops dont, just as a heads up. They are legal in some states... you might want to do some research in that field

one of my buddys dads whos a cop around here (southern ohio) said that you wont get pulled over around here for smoked tails as long as you can see the running lights through them. Some people have it so dark you can only see them when the break lights kick on...so as long as you can see running lights were good.

I was concerned about the law enforcement officers when we tinted mine.. I've had numerous cop car drive past me with no issues... I was even more concerned about the headlights being tinted.. but again, the cops don't give it a second look... Thing with the tinted overlays... your tailight still looks stock... it doesn't look as obvious as covers... Cassie from MRT has both the taillight and headlight tint on her V6 and has not had an issue either...
