Hey guys,,
I'm thinking of smoking my taillights, im kinda leaning more towards smoking the white upper part only vs smoking the lower part or the whole thing..What do you guys think??

Any one has pics of different smoked tail lights especially on a black Car?

You can tint them or paint them. Mine's painted and clear coated.

I got the whole tail light tinted. I would do the lower part or the whole thing. No recent pics of it. Might have some pics in my gallery.

I think go for it, do a 20% tint on the red and make sure to get rid of all the red on the rest of the car. It will look slick to have that contrast.
