hmm... I have to say, this is one of the few times I actually really like tinted tails - good job 
3 things I'd suggest:
1. Paint the exhaust tips - maaaad easy, DIYs are abundant
2. Slap a friggin' trunk finisher on it - would totally complete that whole "ninja" thing
3. Pop a brewsky and enjoy! (leave the rims and sides alone - everything looks great).

Nope. As long as the turn signals and brake lights are visible when on its ok.

Also, you should get the smoked side signals and some euro stickers.

Well, I sent pics to my good friend Doug of these tails asking him what he thought and he basically sent me the following:
I am now debating ripping them off the car after work and doing a spray-on method which is not as blacked out. 
Then he said:
I would have to see it in person. But my first impression is that you are 16 years old driving a Bimmer and trying to get a 18 year old bitch to look at you.
Then he said:
Do you understand what I am saying? A lady wants a mature "looking" man. Even though we will never be! Love you man, take the ghetto sticker off your bimmer.

Well, I just got off lunch and I peeled them off in the parking lot. It was too black and one of my coworkers laughed. You know what, they're right, too. I should have known better than to put some teenager shit on an adult car. >
Oh well, it was only $50 bucks.
I suppose what I'll do is get the Hella smoked tails instead. Those are affordable and look classy still.

I think the Hellas will look better and give it a classier look than the totally black lights. But as always, its down to personal taste and the look you are going for.

Yep, I agree. The hellas would be better.
