Black car with mildly smoked tails looks good on anything.

Black car with totally blacked tails is getting more into VIP'd 300c and G35 territory IMO. Go with a few layers for a modest smoked look, and PUT A GOOD CLEAR COAT ON THEM. Can't tell you how many times a tinted taillight job has gone south because of lack of clearcoat, causing the tails to go flat over time.
