different, but I'm not a fan of tinted tails on black car, maybe it would look better if you tinted the whole thing, rather than half. I don't know, Just one guys opinion

Concur. They look blotchy and flat in the pic. Smoked tails don't look good if they're flat/satin

tinted tails are illegal here
i had some on mine, and after 4 warnings finally got a ticket for em, so i had to swap em out
i love the look of completely smoked tails though
nice job

Now this is how it should be done. Im not a fan of the tinted tails anymore, but if its going to be done it should come out like this.
