Just got this done, I only smoked the white part of the tail light ever so slightly. I was getting the car tinted and I thought the white in the light didn't flow with the car. What do you all think?

On a black car, I think the white is a good contrast. And actually, I think smoking just the red part looks better. I have seen some pics floating in the forum.

I just went to the tint shop and they did it there for me. I wouldn't want to put this stuff on myself. It's not that hard, just my attention to detail isn't the greatest on this kind of stuff

Looks pretty good, but I personally like the entire taillight smoked for a darker look on a black car!
