The only thing I've considered tinting is the clear portion of the taillights... even then I have yet to do it and probably never will.

Either way do what ya like.

Something the 350z guys do is have a body shop spray candy pearl to give the lights a slight shimmer. Some who have done a pearl blue makes the lens appear like the higher end Lexus headlights.

I may do that to my Si, custom candy pearl but a very very light coat. Details FTW.

I say clear the heads and paint the trim ring to match the body color and tint the clear on the tails red to match the rest.

I wouldn't suggest tinting the tail, I was thinking doing the same thing until one day I was driving behind a guy with those tinted lights, and with sun light reflecting it from the side, I can not... I repeat, I can not tell when he's breaking. lol very dangerous imo.

You again??. What's so wack about them?? I think they give the car a more stealthy appearance (on the right car).

If you think they're wack then please....explain to us why??

That's hot, how did you tint yours? Seems like just the white portion, and leaving the red as it is? Or is there a light tint over red too?
