Default *opinions needed* do u think smoked tails would ruin the look of my car?

well after sing phaze 2's smoked tails ive always wanted to lightly smoke mine as well. i thinkw hen theyre pure black they look ricey on eg's but phaze 2's are so clean and i have smoked amber corners i thought i might as well smoke my tails. i will be using what i did on my ambers so it isnt permanent if i want to remove it but it is money.

do you think it will throw off the look of my car?
i know its up to me and if i like it myself, but i want to know your opinion

thanks..


phaze 2's tails(mad props by the way, favorite eg of all time)




my car.

I think it would pull it off, you already have smoked corner lights

smoke them!! looks off when their stock...your car is a dark color with black rims and smoked corners...soo the red and the orange just make it look off. i think if you smoke the tails it will look x10 better!

dang thanks for that chop man! i really like the look of the red and white tails.those are definately one of my options.now im just scared if i smoke them it will be too dark but the amber in the front and back will be th exact same smoked but if its too dark itll look ricey. the way im doing it is only 30 % smoke or 20% dark smoke. i used the regular smoke on my corners and they came out nice.

i still havent made my mind up. more opinions welcome.


heres a pic of how dark my corners are

Crack open your tail lights and just smoke the clear and amber, leave the red bright...

Are those unedited shots of your car? Cause they look kinda blurry and kinda like am omni glow. I could photoshop it better if you have better shots but Im going to try these ones. Theyll look good, they wont stand out as much as the ones already photoshopped.

A back shot like the last one... but not so dark.
